Ranjan Maitra:
Regardless of the number of bars, is the download speed similar or
very
different under the two versions? (I ask because there was some talk
earlier about the number of bars becoming a more accurate assessment
If all was well with the equipment, I'd expect a much better indication
than just one bar at a meagre distance of 10 feet, it doesn't sound like
a more accurate reading. It's hard to imagine a transmission/reception
problem with that small distance.
