I understand its down to the fact that the icon is now showing signal quality not signal strength. An un scientific simplified example for a 100% signal, you don't have any noise…

12in Rev c 1.33 Powerbook and my reception has improved. I'm happy.

^ Same here, I get 4 bars all around the house, I used to get 2 bars in my room (the router is one floor beneath me).

remember your signal reception has not actually changed, the 4 bars are just showing something different now. only thing that really would increase your strength is an ext antenna…

Are you really sure it's a purely cosmetic enhancement? I've got some more bars too. But i've also got slightly increased transfer speeds. Example: Used to transfer stuff at ab…

Can't remember where I heard it, but I was told that the signal strength remains the same, but tiger helps to reduce noise, which is represented by more bars. In short, you should…

I get all 4 bars as opposed to 2. My AX is about 100 ft. away.

Signal strength has gone down for me. I'm 3m from a D-Link base station and getting 3 bars. With Panther I had full strength.

I used to barely be able to connect to a near-by AP with maybe one bar. Now it has full strength but I can not connect to it at all. Apple may have changed some of the baseband p…

i'm up to four bars everywhere in my house.

same. 4 bars everywhere.

They have changed how they rate the signal, and they have also changed (to a smaller degree) how receptive the systems are. Overall it appears to be a change for the better.

Has improved for me. I now get +10MBps between Macs where I used to max out at 2-3MBps.

using a d-link wireless b router over here.... i haven't noticed any persistent fluctuations or such... signal and speed appear to be stronger overall...

i got full bars compared to when i only used to get 3...pretty nice for us PB users. i wonder how much better the ibooks got?

I too have noticed pretty dramatic fluctuations in my Airport signal. When I check the raw signal numbers with iStumbler, however, they were very constant, even when the airport m…
