> Wi-Fi signal strength decreases at an exponential rate as you move further away from a router.
This is surprising to me. I'd have guessed it decreases quadratically (i.e. due to the inverse square law), not exponentially.
The paragraph below seems to contain an explanation, but I don't really understand it (namely because I don't know what that percentage "Coverage" column actually means, or what we mean with "the total distance at each QAM step").
