Re: Signal Strength

I have an 5 in 1 and a tower sensor.  Along with that I have the bridge which has been updated for MyAcurite.  The issue is signal strength.  The 5 in 1 is showing 2 bars and weak.  The tower sensor is showing 1 bar and weak.  The 5 in 1 is maybe 150 from the bridge.  The tower sensor is only 20 feet from the bridge.  Same readings on both MyAcurite and the IP for the bridge. 

I just moved the bridge from the computer room to my bedroom window so there are no obstructions.

Anyone have any thoughts?

2 bars sound fine at 150 feet for the 5n1.

One bar at 20 feet for a Tower sounds unusual.  Are you sure it's a full-power Tower?  Some of the Towers only transmit half-power and aren't considered "AcuLink compatible" even though the system sees them.

The number of bars doesn't always relate well to distance.  One bar is all you need to get all the data.  All more bars do is make your signal more robust in bad conditions.  The data throughput is the same.
