Hi Felix, Thanks for the response.

The docs suggest strongly that the signal is measured based on the most recent beacon. "The SNR field in the response provides the SNR in the most recently received beacon. The NoiseFloor field in the response provides the absolute value of the noise floor in the most recently received beacon." and given that it only gives values when you are associated (i.e. it only looks at the beacons for the one network that you are connected to), I think I can believe this. Does this change your recommendation?
