WiFi strength was being calculated incorrectly on my devices.. For example, moving closer to the router would show a signal strength of 30 instead of increasing. This PR switches the calculation to use nmcli's method instead.
Tested on my device and confirmed the signal strength now updates as expected when moving closer to or further from the router but needs testing on other devices, since I've only verified this on my own setup.
