Hello,
I have a doubt. My interest is about the Signal Strength measured in dBm. For example, when you select an scan interval of 5 seconds I don’t know what it means. It means that in the second 5, the second 10, the second 15, the softwate takes a sample of the signal strength in that time instant and shows us its value or nevertheless, the software does an average of the signal strength during those 5 seconds and shows us the average?

Thank you

Scan Interval means the interval of scanning your wireless range and assessing all WiFi networks’ parameters. It’s not an average or anything. It’s just the interval in seconds between taking new samples in Discover mode.
