What Firmware version is currently loaded?

thank you for your response. the router and satellite are more than 30 feet apart. i am on firmware V3.2.16.22_1.4.9. i will try turning off the satellite and restarting the router. its strange to me that nothing has changed and all of a sudden i get no wifi at all in the bathroom which is inbetween the router and satellite. a drop in signal in the bathroom because of building materials would be understandable but i get no wifi at all. i live in a 1950's bungalo. barely any insulation and definetely no thick walls.
