Boost Your Wireless Signal

That bonehead most likely made matters worse.

That's funny, because when I have less bars my wireless works worse.
 
Erm, how does wrapping an Ethernet cable around a cell phone and then plugging that cable into your laptop have any interaction with the wireless card? Why would the phone "identify" itself to the computer by having a bunch of cable wrapped around it?

Am I totally losing it or is this complete BS?

If you put your cursor over it will show the actual transfer rate.

When your NIC is communicating with a wireless AP, they negotiate on what transfer rate to use. After negotiations are complete, the speed will appear (in colored bars, and numerically).

So yes, the bars do matter.
