Wifi signalStrength is inaccurate

[asteinba]

Hi, I recently switched to Sway and shortly after that I started using Waybar 0.9.1. First: Thank you for this cool project! I really enjoy it.

I have just one issue. The "signalStrength" value does not reflect the real signal strength of my wifi connection. Even when setting a fixed interface in the config. At this moment Waybar reports a signal strength of 38% while sitting very close to the ap. While nmcli dev wifi reports 94%. The issue stays when connecting to other ap's.

Here's my network config:

"network": {
        "interface": "wlp0s20f3",
        "interval": 10,
        "format-wifi": "  {essid} ({signalStrength}%)", // Icon: wifi
        "format-ethernet": "  {ifname}: {ipaddr}/{cidr}", // Icon: ethernet
        "format-disconnected": "⚠  Disconnected",
        "tooltip-format": "{ifname}: {ipaddr}"
},

Wifi adapter: Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201NGW).
