Wireless signal strength is half after reload OS

I recently reloaded a client’s Lattitude D800 XP operating system. I used the latest True Mobile 1300 drivers from Dell’s web site dated 4/15/2004. He states that his home wireless network and his client wireless network, the signal strength meter is half of what it used to be. Has anyone ever seen this? Would installing a previous version driver solve this?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

    i have experienced this same problem w/ the latest set of drivers

    though even though it says poor (red icon) or fair (yellow icon) i still have full 11mbps throughput and no degredatin of quality

    it will sometimes drop down to 5.5mbps

    i assume this is just a side affect of their leap (cisco) features that were added/fixed in this latest driver

    we can only hope as with other drivers that they will fix it in the next revision

    I had the same problem and reinstalling the previous driver (A08, version 3.20.23.0, 6/13/2003) fixed it.
