While the web interface shows signal bars, the terminal reveals raw metrics: RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Quality), SINR (Signal to Interference & Noise Ratio), and Cell ID. These are critical for positioning external antennas. Once connected, type this: AT^CARDLOCK
While no definitive "smoking gun" backdoor has been publicly verified in consumer modems, vulnerabilities have been identified: RSRQ (Reference Signal Quality)
