My Windows 7's Wireless Network Connection Status window shows the speed of 802.11n as 150.0 Mbps. But, Rainmeter's TXRate and RXRate are displayed as 150000. The manual (https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/wifistatus/) explains that it is in bps, isn't 150000000 correct in bps?
By the way, I just wish it was displayed in Mbps unit not bps.
It is currently March 29th, 2024, 1:39 pm

Re: [Bug] Rainmeter 4.5.6 WifiStatus speed
My bad. That should have read "SI (1000) kilobits per second". Fixed. thanks for reporting.circcc wrote: ↑November 29th, 2021, 10:45 pm My Windows 7's Wireless Network Connection Status window shows the speed of 802.11n as 150.0 Mbps.

If you set AutoScale=2k on the String measure displaying the value, it will scale appropriately.

Re: [Bug] Rainmeter 4.5.6 WifiStatus speed
Another bug.
When not connected to wireless, RXRate and TXRate values are 0. 150000 when connected. However, when I connect and then disconnect, the value of 150000 stays the same, not 0.

Re: [Bug] Rainmeter 4.5.6 WifiStatus speed
Also, we have decided to return this value in bits per second instead of kilobits per second going forward. This will make it easier to use the AutoScale option on the String meter to properly scale the value (and automatically add the k/M/G suffix).
