HI,
-50dBm or lower is excellent, fully saturated, the higher you go,-60,-70,-80, the poorer your signal, by -90dBm it is extremely poor as your results indicate. If possible, I would consider temporarily just moving your router to almost any place where you could power it up in the absence of other wifi signals and then testing your signal strength, if it still reads that poor, I have to think it is a hardware issue. I get excellent coverage in my home (1700 sq. ft.) with the 868L in a far corner and through several sheetrock walls, although, it often reports say only 3 bars, until I actually make the connection when it jumps up to 4-5 bars. I attribute this to the "Beam Forming" stuff, but that's just a guess. Anyway, if you can easily return it and swap it for another one, I would consider this asap. Oh yeah, use the 5GHz as much as possible in your congested location.
