Hi. I have two links using wAP60ad and the signal value is confusing to me.
Link 1 AP side:
[admin@AP_60ad] > /int w6 moni 0
connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: 04:D6:AA:67:89:CA
mcs: 8
phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 80
rssi: -70
tx-sector: 61
rx-sector: 96
Link 1 STA side:
[admin@STA] > /int w6 moni 0
connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: 04:D6:AA:6D:AE:65
mcs: 8
phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 35
rssi: -71
tx-sector: 36
tx-sector-info: left 3.8 degrees, up 3.8 degrees
rx-sector: 96
As you can see RSSI is the same but signal is very different.
Link 2 AP side:
[admin@AP] > /int w6 moni 0
connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: 04:D6:AA:A8:4B:2D
mcs: 8
phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 80
rssi: -63
tx-sector: 37
tx-sector-info: left 11.4 degrees, up 3.8 degrees
rx-sector: 96
Link 2 STA side:
[admin@STA] > /int w6 moni 0
connected: yes
frequency: 58320
remote-address: 04:D6:AA:C1:38:37
mcs: 8
phy-rate: 2.3Gbps
signal: 65
rssi: -66
tx-sector: 31
tx-sector-info: left 26.6 degrees, down 3.8 degrees
rx-sector: 96
On this link after alignment I had 80 on AP side, 30 on STA side. Then when I got to testing it jumped to 80 on both sides and stayed that way. On both links I have 6.43rc17 as this one is most stable. Link 1 is 190m, link 2 is 645m. RSSI value and tx-sector is the same all the time, yet signal value can be different at times. Why?
