No kidding. RSSI values in % value is useless unless there is a
formula to convert a dBm value to the RSSI value.
When you engineer a link you get the values in dBm so now what how can
one with a "junk" RSSI value determine how close your to your signal
goal ?
I'm 150% with Marlon give us REAL dB values (man I think we hashed
this over like 5-6 months ago I get such a dejavu when I say this
scary thing I think I replied to Marlons post that time to...).

MS592> Typically the Base Band Processor which is heart of Radio gives out the
values in the range of 0-40 which indicates the RSSI values.
MS592> These RSSI values from Base Band ( 0-40 ) are converted on the scale of 0-100
% to show the % Values.
MS592> The Internal formula is used to convert the RSSI in % to RSSI in dBm, these
values are typically shown in the Client Info and Link Status tab.
MS592> The new simpleMonitor for airPointPRO and the not yet released for airBridge
allows you to modify the RSSI Values shown in dBm to suit your requirements using this
option.
MS592> If you want your specific values to be shown in there, please store them in
the table as shown and set the option as "User Defined" and Click "Save Table" button.
Please make sure that you
