This Wi-Fi® Companion web patch corrects a known issue with the Dell A12 ROM update where the RSSI values and granularity are significantly changed from the A11 ROM. The range is now -50 (strongest) to -90 in 10-digit increments vs. the A11 ROM with a range of -25 to -90 in 5-digit increments.
Note that with this patch installed, the reported percentages (0%, 25%, 50%, 100%) are a significant improvement over WFC 2.10.4 percentages (0%, 17%, 34%, & 67%) which never showed the max value of 100%. The 75% value will not display but the problem resides in Dell’s built-in Wi-Fi driver and cannot be resolved by Wi-Fi Companion.
