Satellite 5ghz backhaul details

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.

thats why I asked the question. -97dBm is certainly not optimal. seems really low.

Ok, now I disconnected my Ethernet cable to the Satellite and got the following:

root@RBR50:/# cat /var/satellite_device_info

[{

                "mac address":  "78:C2:xx:xx:xx:xx",

                "ip address":   "192.168.1.2",

                "module name":  "RBS50",

                "serial number":        "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",

                "signal strength":      "-57",

                "backhaul status":      "1",

                "device name":  "Orbi Satellite-1",

                "current version":      "V2.3.0.32"

        }]

root@RBR50:/#

So my Satellite's receives -57 dBm backhaul's link signal from the Router when using wireless backhaul. As mentioned earlier the -97 dBm was just a value I got when I had wired backhaul so this value should be irrelevant.

I hope that this helps. :)
