I think thats because its Receive Signal Strength Intensity. The only way to lower the RSSI would be to change the antenna out for a lower gain one. Might ideally, bring your laptop round and plug it straight into the SmartBridge, then run a ping to the gateway at your NOC, see if it exibits the same effects.
