Satellite showing up as a device and not a satellite.
Setting up my new Orbi and while it shows that there are devices and one satellite connect, when I drill down the satellite shows with the rest of the devices and the section under satellites is bla...
Good to know, not sure they they don't stick the backhaul on a seperate 1918 adress but maybe that will change in the future.
While I was driving, support called about my initial link issue and I asked about a way to see the link quality between the router and satellite. I was told that there was a backhaul status page that would show the link quality but I can't seem to find it. Any ideas?
They said to go under Router -> Status -> Backhaul.... but I don't see any of that.
I don't see any of that either, maybe its in the next firmware release that hasn't been let loose into the wild.
While I dont see a link quality per-se, I do see a backhaul statistic row in the "Show Statistics" button popup which is found on the Advanced Home page, or http://192.168.1.1/RST_statistic.htm
Look at the bottom row. I suspect the "Status" column is not really indiciative of the actual link strength, just the possible bandwidth or something along those lines.
For comparison purposes, mine says my WLAN Backhaul is 1733M.
Good catch, I didn't even notice that. Mine shows 1733 as well, I'll have to move it around and see if it changes.
