Jeff's points are good ones. Just for comparison and to point out just how much the reading is a relative one only, I can get reliable connections with a minus number well into the 60s. I think the best reading I've ever gotten has been -27, but if I moved the MPower even a few inches it fluctuated to -32 or so.

However, network and signal degradation being what it is, we will never begin to approach zero. I'm sitting here right next to my router and getting a rating of about minus 28 db and on the opposite corner of the house, I get a reading of about minus 60 db. I start to have trouble with internet streams at about minus 50 db. I agree, some kind of qualitative wording could be put on this measurement or at least something in the manual to indicate what different db levels will work for.
