Nope..it's not that. I'm not even in the US.
Same problem here... Shows limited when PC is showing good shows 1 signal when PC is at 4-5Well now happens from time to time, not frequently as before I guess. Though, now i'm back in my room, got tired of the living room so came back here xD. The phone signal shows just 1 little dot of strenght and then I check again maybe in a minute and it's full. So I really don't know if it's working good or not. The PC bars show 4/5 5/5 all the time.
one workaround solution: ROUTER/MODEM -> PC (use spotify)-> NL1520 = ALWAYS connect 100%
in 8.1 it was just a icon or image of wifi , but in 8.1 it shows real signal strength.The signal bar doesn't work in 8.0. Reportedly 8.1 fixed it and now reports the real signal strength your phone sees.
can you pls elaborate on this( PC (use spotify) ?
