Well folks, I'm not sure whether I should be gloating, but my signal strength is 50 dbm. I've never seen a negative number. Negatives don't quite make sense to me. You should know that mine seems to vary, and I'm not switching slots. So signal strength differences from the card being in different slots might not be significant.

Since it's a minus number, I don't know if we want it higher or lower, that is closer to zero or farther away from it. So if any of you experienced WiFi users can share how to interpret signal strength, that'd be cool.
