A signal strength of up to -65 dBm is very, very good. Up to -75 is good. Anything else is useless.

Yes. They are very, very good signal strength from the clients to the WAP.
Wireless is a two-way street. You also have to verify what the signal strength is from each client to the WAP.

Hi Leolaohoo,
I have 2 devices with -40db and one with -63db so are they good?
Thanks
