Icon, 8.1 preview and wi-fi signal

[Steven Ball3]

I decided to install the dev preview due to not wanting to wait on Verizon to finally release cyan/wp8.1... But now I see that my wifi signal is really low in areas of the house that used to be near full or at least 3 bars. Has anyone else seen this?

In my experience, the bars don't mean squat. On any of my devices, cause its always different, and it is not a direct translation of speed. Yes after the preview the bars decreased for me, however speed has staid the same and stability has been a big plus since this last update. You may experience something different, but this has been the case for me and 2 of my cousins.

Yeah... No performance hit... Just noticed the bars down. So it seems like a non issue, or an algorithm is off in the coding for the display... Thanks for the reply
