My modem/router is only showing two bars. My app says I have a weak signal. My speednet checks are from 250 to almost 400 mbps. I am not complaining but I am confused. 

First forget the app on your phone log direct in http://192.168.12.1/

It's not all about the bars it's about Quality of the signal. So you can have a high quality weak signal that gives you good speed.

Like some other on here you can have 5 bars but crap speed. This is caused by to much noise and this causes the signal to be degraded even though it is powerful.

Imagine this you live far from the tower so you have a weak signal. But in your area there is not much to interfere with the signal say farmland. So you have 2 bars but they are really good and you get good speed. Now say you have 5 bars and live in a very congested area towers all over the place this and that transmitting so much noise so much interference. So yea you got 5 bars but so much interfering with your signal it can hardly work.
