Thanks. That made all the difference. My results are:
root@Router:/# satelliteinfo wifi [
{ "mac address" : "8C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
"hop" : "1",
"bridge mac" : "8C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
"backhaul conntype" : "5GHz",
"backhaul rssi" : "-60",
"backhaul macaddress" : "8C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
"backhaul phytxrate" : "1300",
"backhaul phyrxrate" : "1170",
"backhaul parentmac" : "CC:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" }
I'm supposing that the signal strength is -60 dBm and 1300 and 1170 are transmit and receive speeds, respectively. Is this correct and if so, what are the speed units?

1300 and 1170 are in Mbps and these are connection rates between the RBR and RBS only.
Please edit out and don't include any MAC address information in public forum posts.
