Public bug reported:
When I noticed the Menu bar showed a medium connection strength, I
opened up the network menu in Settings. Settings showed a strong
connection strength.
This inconsistency is a bug in itself and one of the two are wrong. You
can see both the menu bar and system settings claiming two different
strengths if you look at their icons in the attached screenshots.
I expect the system settings and the menu bar to be consistent on wi-fi
strength
However, in actuality, one is claiming a medium strength connection, the
other a stronger one, for the same network, which is NETGEAR18.
Because I am unsure of what is actually correct, I filed this under the
network manager messing up. Network manager, the menu bar, and system
settings appear to be out of sync.
I reported this bug as soon as it happened.
