Is wireless signal strength only visible when there is a client attached?

Hi. New to Teltonika alert so apologies if this is a “stupid” question. I have setup a couple of SSIDs on my router but am struggling to attach at 5Ghz, regardless of config. Can I just check whether signal strength percentage shown on the SSIDs page is only non-zero if there is a connected client?

First SSID is on both radios, second is 5Ghz only and third is a client connection back onto house wifi.

Hi,

0% means no clients connected to that SSID.

Does device with which you try to connect supports 5GHz?, because in your case WFH SSID supports both bands and device itself automatically selects suitable band.

Hi @lemondude Thanks for swift reply. Yep, using Macbook Pro and decent Samsung mobile so was expecting 2 x 5Ghz connections. Maybe both are choosing to drop to 2.4Ghz voluntarily. I’ll experiment with positioning myself! External antenna is on the top of the van. Maybe I am sitting too close.

Hello @ctmkuk,

Could you please confirm if you still require any assistance?

Best regards,

initial query answered by @lemondude so closing this ticket. Thanks
