Cause:
Low RSSI can lead to communications issues and dropped sensors.

Resolution:
It is recommended that the wireless sensors and routers be kept at 80% RSSI and above.

If you set the wireless network up, especially during off hours, there may be spikes in wireless usage from other devices or other interference from other network components once the environment is fully in use that can cause lower RSSI values and in turn, communications issues.

If you configure the wireless network and have a lower RSSI and the sensors appear to be intermittent, the first recommendation is to try to reconfigure to get a better RSSI
