Reported Signal Stats

[RMHC]

This is probably a simple question for the experts.

I have an RT-AC3100 at home and an RT-AC66R at my office, but I imagine this applies to any Asus router.

In the wireless log, the router reports a Tx and Rx rate for each client. Are these the rates being transmitted and received by the router or by the client? (I'm assuming that the client can report its signal levels to the router.)

And, likewise, the log reports an RSSI value. Is this the RSSI received by the router from the client, or by the client from the router?

I think the Tx and Rx figures are also from the perspective of the router. Each rate is negotiated between each end, therefore the router's Tx rate is equal to the clients Rx rate and vice versa.
