How to test/confirm strength/quality of satellite connection to main router?
Orbi RBR53S and how to test the signal strength to the router. Both of our satellits read backhaul "Good" but sometimes it drops off. What is the best way to run a test on these? Thanks

Great detailed response. Yes, that's the numbers I'm looking for. What would be considered a good number to have? All our Ring devices show their RSSI numbers. When they get -60 they start having connection issues, but when they are -50 -40 -30 -20 they perform well, even when oddly the Orbi settings page 192.168.1.1 often seems to drop them even when they are operational, so odd. Thanks

An interesting question. My approach would be Google searches. For example:
It looks(to me) like anything better than -70 is "good enough", but this is far outside my competence level.
