I've been trying to find more information on Windows 7 and the metrics it uses to determine if a wireless strength is 1 bar or 5 bars ? Does it base this around dBm information of the signal ? If so what is the breakdown in dBm rates between the different bars ? Does anyone have a link they can share with this kind of information ? Or anything they find useful regards to this. Thank you

You can calibrate your Windows in homogeneous field, but if you are in inhomogeneous field, this calibration is meaningless. I have never met serious comparison and solid measurement results. Regards Milos

Hi, Based my research, Microsoft has not release the detail information about how to defined the wireless signal strength.
