Huawei E8372 - See signal strength etc

[dotcat]

So I've been struggling to see the signal strength data that I would normally be able to access via http://192.168.8.1/api/device/signal or http://192.168.8.1/api/device/information.

How can I get the data out of the api for this modem?

Thanks.

You are doing well, but login with your password from the same browser window first.

Once it works please post here the output from "/api/net/net-mode-list". You may need to open "View Source" window or "Developer mode" in Chrome to see XML tags names. Otherwise only raw data is displayed.

Thanks. That one just tells me the bands I think.

Thanks for sharing, saved for future reference. It is rewarding to help people who do care. Regarding response from "api/device/signal", I must say, you are out of luck. This version of firmware do not report signal strenghts parameters - all fields are empty. It should be a real data between XML tags, similar you see in the "psat" or "mode" tags. Maybe try to upgrade firmware, as from my experience only some versions are crippled.
