How to tell signal strength between router and satellite? (other than lights)
Hi, besides looking at the color of the light on the top of the Orbi, is there something in the web admin app which will show me how strong the signal is between the router and the satellite? I am g...
After checking the HTMLcode, I think what i said was right, there must be some problem with the satellite signal page design or Orbi cheat customer? There shows no 5GHz-D backhaul for connection between Router and Satellite. Satellite still use traditional 2.5GHz and 5GHz for R&T
My understanding is that the backaul does have both 5 GHz and 2.4 Ghz connections, but the satellites will prefer 5 GHz whenever possible. If signal is not strong enough, the backhaul between router and satellite will fail over to 2.4 GHz.
Similarly, if you have wired backhaul, this will be preferred, and the satellite will only switch to 5 or (2.4 GHz) WiFi backhaul as a failover mechanism.
