The invention discloses a method and a device for determining an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value of a channel, and access point (AP) equipment. The method comprises the steps that A, an RSSI value in a received message is acquired, whether a current RSSI value of an AP is an initial value is determined, if so, Step D is executed, and if not, Step B is executed; B, an absolute value of a difference between the current RSSI value of the AP and the acquired RSSI value in the message is calculated, whether the absolute value is greater than a preset difference threshold value is determined, if so, Step D is executed, and if not, Step C is executed; C, the RSSI value of the AP is readjusted according to the current RSSI value of the AP, the acquired RSSI value in the message and a preset average value; and D, the acquired RSSI value in the message serves as the current RSSI value of the AP. With the adoption of the scheme, the RSSI value of the AP can be determined more precisely.
