WP 8.1 Wifi connection got 1-2 bars worse on all my networks

[Christian Dahl]

Has anyone notiched a drop in the quality of the wifi signal? At home and at work, the signal would always be full, but now its always at 1 og 2 or even gone!

 

[Tim Benjamin]

Yes, I have noticed that.

You can try a soft reset or a hard reset. When you do any updates there are times when things just don't go right.

I'm seeing the same.

Before WP8.1, the WIFI signal was always static. Now it updates.

What he said.
Before wifi icon was either on, off or connecting, now it represent the actual strength of signal. It's not worse, it's just shown.

People actually thought the previous icon was the actual signal strength?

They made the WiFi icon to work in real time.

I seem to be getting a drop on all my signal strength (Wi-Fi, LTE) after the 8.1 update.

I see fluctuations in both WiFi and LTE, but its just the bars ramping around. The actual signal seems no issue and appears to be fine regardless. One thing I noticed is shutting WiFi off stabilizes the LTE bars from jumping all over. Also cured my start button lag, FWIW.
Just gotta get in the habit of toggling WiFi as needed.

Im always within feet of the route im connected to, so never found it weird if the bars was always full. Right now the bars are down to one and often its just the dot showing... And im still just a few feet away from the router. Not impressed..
