Yes, so in the example above, I have -97 dBM.

  That's seriously workable? I would have stated anything in Wi-Fi from -90 dBm and up is unuseable.

    :) True. 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.
