I don't know that I'd replace that with the last good value, as that's no longer a true representation of the network, but I don't think I'd be opposed to having that data be potentially in the info box, though it would require some more work to set up.

You'd only show the last "old" value if you could show the date/time for 
it (and perhaps "thin" the connecting line).

What would be really cool, is an app that captured (on a second-by 
second basis) and graphed (in the classical sense) the signal strength 
over time, either from your end or from the client's end. It would be 
especially helpful in setting up an antenna, rather than the bouncy 
values from "monitor" (I note that you can set the polling interval to a 
fraction of a second).  Hmm, I wonder if Java (not JavaScript) has a 
decent API for SNMP (I presume that's the best way to capture the data).
