I was amazed that information related to DBM Wireless Signal strength is so hard to find. After some searching I found this and I hope it is helpful for you too. ( I use a Merlin V620)
QUOTE The signal strength for all received packets. The color of this parameter's progress bar provides a visual interpretation of signal strength.
Value:
"¢Excellent (green): -57 to -45 dBms (75 to 100%)
"¢Good (green): -75 to -58 dBms (40 to 74%)
"¢ Fair (yellow): -85 to -76 dBms (20 to 39%)
"¢ Poor (red): -95 to -86 dBms (0 to 19%)

I have never thought to actually do a lot of research in this area. I have always just measured strength as a probability for packet loss. The weaker the signal the more likely you will be loosing packets and making them send again and again to complete the connection. This is what I had always guessed caused a weaker signal connection to slow down. Back to basics, the law of radio transmission. Thanks for the input as always.

The info above let's me know where the antenna needs to be placed. Before that I used to try and second guess via internet speed tests, but that is not accurate since signal strength and wireless bandwidth are two different things.

Comments: Found this on wiki.... Oddly, like you said, a Google search doesn't do as well as I had hoped it would have. However, a simple modification of the search term originally used yielded this. Hope it helps those who were curious as I once was:

Thank you so much for providing it as it is so useful for antenna placement for those of us who aren't lucky enough to be near city areas.
