EX8000 - Connected Devices - Signal Strength

Question

EX8000 extender is connected to an X10 (R9000) router. Three mobile devices are connected to the extender. After logging into the extender, the Settings-Connected Devices page shows stats for the 3 devices that are connected to the extender. What is the signal strength column trying to indicate? For example. my connected android phone (sitting right next to the extender) shows a signal strength of -77dbm. However, if I check on the phone, the signal strength for the wifi connection is -20dbm, which it should be since it's sitting right next to the extender. Same thing for the other two devices.

So what is the extender trying to say, since it's not showing the correct wifi signal strength for the connected devices?

I had a lot of issue with the last firmware (1.0.0.126) so I downgraded to 1.0.0.118, that is more stable for me. If you tried to reset the device with no success, you can try to downgrade and see if it works better.&nbsp;
