Hi,
I am running Fedora 38 Workstation on ThinkPad T14s Gen 3 laptop. I can connect to my university WiFi easily on both my phone and laptop. However, the WiFi settings dialog always shows that the uni wifi signal is weak. But at the same location my phone gets a perfect connection.
What makes it worse is that because the connection is weak I often get disconnected from it, even when I don’t move the laptop.
When I check from nmcli it shows that the signal strength is high. But somehow the GUI disagrees.
Why is this happening?
