Backhaul status orbi

What signal strengths correlate to backhaul status on the Orbi satellite ?

My satellite shows poor but signal strength for devices at the Orbi location is -70 or better ?

 

Running V2.1.1.16

  • no just if you have a device connected to that satellite run a speed test on that device and see if you are getting the correct speeds.

    Are you getting slower speeds from that satellite?

      hard to tell if satellite connections are slower.

       

      Devices in the area near the satellite will connect to eith the main Router (upstairs) or the satellite.

       

      Is there a satellite speed test that I can run from the orbilogin portal ?
