Signal strength

Signal strength refers to how strong or clear a wireless communication connection is between a device (like a phone) and a network tower or router. It indicates the quality of the signal received; stronger signals usually mean faster data transfer and fewer interruptions, while weaker signals can cause slower speeds or dropped connections. Factors affecting signal strength include distance from the tower, obstacles like walls, and interference from other electronic devices. Monitoring signal strength helps ensure optimal device performance and can guide troubleshooting or placement adjustments for better connectivity.
