>> I've noticed for awhile but never asked the question; why does the IOS app report wifi signal strength when I'm connected to wifi as gsm signal strength? I would expect gsm to always be gsm and maybe wifi would also be shown (and identified as such) when present. Note that I run my modules in wifi client-only mode.

I still don't understand the dBm value reported by the iphone app. For 
my dev module (sitting on a desk in a spare bedroom), gsm is reported 
(via the cellular command) as -87, wifi saw -17.4 (it's 2m from the AP). 
But the app says -113 dBm! It's way off... (New screen grabs attached.)
