Orbi, SOAP, and Excel

In previous post I have tried to improved the Connected Devices display in the WebUI (added sorting) and put together an Excel spreadsheet to extract that data. I still wanted signal information. T...

I updated to 2.5.1.16 FW and things seem to be working fine.

I can also confirm my Excel stuff and the mods for sorting Attached Devices all port the same for 2.5.1.16 and work.

Thanks for the question. I run a wired backhaul so I hadn't thought about wireless backhaul link information. It does appear that the backhaul BHPhyTxRate and BHPhyTxRate is available via SOAP in the request GetCurrentSatellitesWIFIinfo and I would love to include that in the Excel code. I can made that SOAP request but I am not getting complete information in the return. It seems likely I have a syntax error somehow in the request but I am flying blind without a spec. If anyone can point me in the right directly or if anyone at Netgear would share to spec (even if via a backdoor and I promise I won't ask questions :-) ), this could be easily included in the spreadsheet infomation. Thanks again for the input.

Wish I could have reported better results.

Current version of the spreadsheet with the GetCurrentSatelliteWIFIinfo response in the breakout spreadsheets can be found at

Great work Scott!

I have been working on a monitoring system for the Orbi using Xymon. So far it is parsing data from various web pages of the router and satellites to gather data. But SOAP calls would be cleaner.

Do you know if there are SOAP calls to get CPU and memory information like is seen on the debug.htm page? I like to gather trend data on the CPU and memory usage to watch for any spikes or issues. Perhaps there is a call simular to the one used for system uptime that is also shown on the debug.htm page.

Sample data from my monitor:
