Windows 10: Windows 10 wifi icon and status indicator

Hello,


What determines how many bars are present filled within the WiFi Status icons? What determines Excellent, good, bad, etc.?


Is it full if < -50 dbm? 3 bars if < -65 dbm?


Is it based off of signal quality output? Where > 90% is full, > 80% is minus 1 bar?


Thank you for your help.


Regards,

Clinton

Windowsphone ver 10 - VPN padlock icon not displaying above wifi status icon when connected and sending data.

Hi,

Just setup a VPN on my partners windows 10 phone and although the VPN appears to be working because it shows as connected in vpn settings and the notification window there is no padlock icon above the wifi status indicator when sending/receiving data. Is
there some other setting in windows 10 I am missing to make it show that. Tried resetting/reconnecting the VPN, rebooting the phone etc several times without success to get the padlock icon to show. The VPN padlock shows above the wifi status indicator on
my windows 8 phone ok. Any suggestions please?

Thx.

Nick....
