Hello,

Can someone explain to me what the numbers mean for signal, noise and signal to noise ratio and what is best and worst...?
I did a quick search but couldn't easily find the info to figure it out...

As an example, these are my DD-WRT details of my two wirelessly connected devices at present:

Laptop downstairs (about 6 feet across the room line of sight from router)
Signal: -52 Noise: -98 SNR: 47 Signal quality: 50%

Wireless bridge upstairs (in room immediately above router, about 9 feet away, through ceiling)
Signal: -50 Noise: -98 SNR: 48 Signal quality: 54%

Any advice on the above much appreciated...
