This seems to of be fixed in the latest 2022.12.1 release of esphome

I just wanted to open a new issue and found this. I am running esphome 2022.12.1 - December 16. My Pico W is about 3-4m from the next WiFi Mesh Repeater away, but is losing connection frequently. Reporting of WiFi signal strength is all over the place from approx. -70 to 0dBm:
When 0dBm is recorded, it is because of a loss of connection before due to a reboot (I also use a max809 in this setup):
I do not know, if the antenna of the Pico W is particularily bad, but an ESP32 in the same room with greater distance to the repeater does not lose its signal.
So I do not think this is resolved, also I have not investigated further (for example: is max809 triggering a reboot? IDNK)

@emefff i think your issue is maybe the signal strength of the pico w itself, where as this issue is about the fact is was showing 0db and not it isnt in the latest update, i would suggest you could open another issue but i dont think the is much the developers can maybe do?
It is also rebooting! I do not know if the rebooting is the cause or the consequence. In comparison ESP32 has no trouble down to -80dBm.

my pico w isnt rebooting at all? whats your config like? it could be an issue with the wifi bouncing between access points?
I have a mesh repeater and one base. Bouncing should not matter, it happens a lot in another ESP32, which does not lose connection for hundreds of hours.
I did not set reboot_timeout, so it should be 15min. Clearly, the intervals in above curve are much smaller. That's strange.
Also, as can be verified in the above signal graph, it is sending 0dB after a reboot, still.

The problem
When using wifi details sensors on the RPi Pico 2040W board, the information reported is invalid and causes board reboots.
1) When using the wifi signal module, the following is reported:
