The GUI on the RT-N66U which handles the Roaming Assistant constrains the signal strength threshold for dropping clients to the range of -90 to -70 dB RSSI .

I would like to set the threshold to -68 because of the actual signal levels in my house.

Is it OK to use the command line to nvram set wl_user_rssi to a number greater than -70, or will that break something? And do I need to set wl0_user_rssi as well?

This is an RT-N66u running 3.0.0.4.374.39_0-em.

wl0 is 2.4 GHz, wl1 is 5 GHz. wl is only a placeholder used by the webui when it writes the options the user entered on the webpage, it then gets copied to the appropriate instance after applying settings.
