    Hi,

    A smartphone is hardly getting RSSI -67 dBm while doing a survey .So Its sure that the second strongest signal should be less than -67 ,

    So do we need to care  abou this ?

     

    Thanks

    I think -67 is a fine signal strength - depending on what you're expecting of course ;)

    We'd need to know a whole lot more about your environment to be able to give any meaningful advice. How far away from which model AP to start with.

    The signal strength you're seeing is not enough information to tell whether you'll have good VoIP roaming

    Your experience will be affected by: how large an area, what kind of environment, how many APs, what other WiFi users at the same time, how much interference - and at least 20 more things I haven't thought of.

    In my office environment with no interference to speak of and an AP every 75 feet or less, neg65 would work just fine.
