Signal strength display on LEDs on AP - Possible?

RouterOS General
1

I have two NetBox 5’s set up as WDS bridge. Working fine. The STA side shows signal strength on the LEDs just fine, the AP does not.

It would be nice to have the AP LEDs show signal strength just as a quick and dirty indication of rough aiming during installation. Is this possible?

Thanks.

That is corect..!
The Station shows the signal quality level that has achieved with the AP connection… default behavior of a station device…

On the AP by default this does not happen… However go to system leds and i think you can configure it there…

I did try to make a script to display signal strength, but newer get time to make it work fully:

AP in principle serves many clients … so which client’s signal strength should it display?

The case where a pair of devices are used (mind: not configured, but used) in a PtP configuration is only the general case (with multiple clients) pushed to a singularity … and we know what’s singularity in maths :wink:
