RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) is not typically used in WiFi networks. It is a measurement specific to cellular networks, particularly in LTE and 5G, to gauge the power level of the reference signal received from the cell tower.
What is a good RSRP worth?
A good RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) value is generally between -70 dBm and -90 dBm. Values closer to -70 dBm are better and indicate a stronger signal, which usually results in better network performance.
RSRP in WiFi is not applicable as RSRP is specific to cellular networks. In WiFi, signal strength is usually measured using different metrics such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator).
A good SINR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) value is typically above 20 dB for optimal performance. Higher values indicate a stronger signal relative to the noise, which contributes to better data speeds and connection stability.
The difference between RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is that RSRP measures the power of the reference signal from the cell tower in cellular networks, while RSSI measures the total received signal strength including noise and interference in WiFi networks. RSRP provides a clearer picture of the signal quality from the network, whereas RSSI reflects the overall signal strength including any interference.
