I have always chosen dBm instead of bars. I don't think bars are accurate enough. What do you use? Bars? dBm?

I have no idea how to change it, but I'd definitely give it a try if I had the option.

Both.
Bars are displayed as a quick guide, and the dBm reading is available elsewhere.

Bars for easy reading, dBm for a more accurate reading.
