Just to share I am using in AP mode (firmware 1.5.0,12). Has been reliable for past few days and these are steps to monitor various stats for backhaul, 2.4ghz and 5ghz client on router and sat which I think is useful. Notice these stats are updated in realtime as I have tested by moving the client or orbi around.
1) Enable telnet on router and sat by enable telnet on web management e.g
e.g. 192.168.1.x/debug.htm
2) Use a telnet client such as putty to telnet to router or router
3) Once telnet to router
- type following command at console
wlanconfig ath2 list stat -> this only works on router. Will list down backhaul stastistics.
wlanconfig ath0 list stat -> list down 2.4ghz client stats
wlanconfig ath1 list stat -> list down 5ghz client stats
4) You can telnet to sat to use these commands
wlanconfig ath0 list stat -> list down 2.4ghz client stats
wlanconfig ath1 list stat -> list down 5ghz client stats
I have tranfserred few hundred gigabyte of data to stress the wireless backhaul (my backhaul is around 420Mbps stable) and it has been rock stable. The router and sat are located 1 floor apart.
I have also prevented the autoupdate by setting a wrong gateway address at router end and block access to netgear public ip:216.151.177.114
So far autoupdate has not occurred for past 3 days.
