Hello, I am trying to find RSSI or dBM signal details for the connection between my Orbi router and satellite. Is this information available? thanks

I have Ethernet backhaul between router and this satellite and I think that's why the signal strength is not relevant here. I believe if you use this command on a wireless backhaul you would get better values.

thats why I asked the question. -97dBm is certainly not optimal. seems really low.

Please use the following telnet command from the router: root@RBR50:~# cat /var/satellite_device_info [{ "mac address": "78:C2:94:xx:xx:xx", "ip address": "192.168.1.2", "module name": "RBS50", "serial number": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "signal strength": "-97", "current version": "V2.3.0.32", "backhaul status": "1", "device name": "Orbi Satellite-1" }]

Thanks for this. Is there a setting I need to configure to allow telnet to router? I looked thoughout the router webportal but cant seem to find where I enable telnet access. Thanks
