signal strength - what's reasonable?

[Dan Langille]

Hi,

I'm setting up a WAP at home and I'm learning about signal strength. 
At present, the WAP is in the basement, near the ceiling.  Using 
wicontrol -L, I've been looking at the line titled "Coms 
quality/signal/noise".

As base measurement, directly under the WAP, I get "49 103 54". The 
various locations in the house have values like this:

30 84 10   A
21 75 54   B - next door to WAP
33 87 54   C - one flight up (directly above WAP)
27 81 54   D - one flight up (directly above WAP)
16 70 54   E - one flight up (at opposite end of house)
 6  60 54   F - one flight up (at opposite end of house)
20 74 54   G - two flights up (directly above WAP)

Are these expected values?  Ping times remain about 4.75ms for all 
locations.

Comments please.
