I think the numbers shown by previous versions were wrong. I normally
have my laptop at the edge of where I have reception, and it always
showed around 60%. Now it shows around 20-25%, which is much closer to
the truth.
The range on which I could get a connection did not change. So,
basically, what you experience here, is only cosmetic.
