@baonq243 sadly i don't have access to the e8372 or E3131 as your device is identifier by lsusb ... so i can't help with that right now... Is your signal info displayed correctly in the admin interface? cos this looks like your device is just not correctly reporting this info instead of issue in this library...

In my hilink app everything is okay. client.device.information() is work perfect :D but can't get signal

>>> from huawei_lte_api.Client import Client
>>> from huawei_lte_api.AuthorizedConnection import AuthorizedConnection
>>> from huawei_lte_api.Connection import Connection
>>> connection = AuthorizedConnection('http://admin:[email protected]/')
>>> print(client.device.signal())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'client' is not defined
>>> client = Client(connection)
>>> print(client.device.signal())

@baonq243 hmm maybe your device is using some different endpoint to get signal data? can you check in your browser dev tools what calls are made when you are on signal info page?

Same issue for E8372 LTE Wingle. I also have no information about RSSI etc. in my HiLink. Javascript code uses api/monitoring/status and api/device/signal URLs And it seems that device only returns signal in numbers from 1 to 5 to draw a signal bar

Using a E8372-320 or E8372-820, I'm not able to replicate a problem:

It was discovered that different Huawei routers sometimes use different endpoints to provide signal info, use data_dump.py to dump all data your router provides and find with is returning signal info correctly or check what requests is your WebUI doing in your browser dev tools to find out what call to use.
