Signal strength of PC wi-fi antenna at router

[YK]

In a normal house setup the wi-fi router acts as the access point
and the antenna on the laptop or desktop picks up the access point.

If I sit at the laptop or PC (far from the wi-fi router) I can use an app on
the phone to pick up the signal strength of that wi-fi router access point.

But how do I pick up the signal the other way around?

If I sit at the router (far from the laptop or desktop) when I open the app
to tell me signal strength, it only tells me the signal strength of the
wi-fi access point.

It doesn't tell me the signal strength arriving at the router which came out
of the antenna on the laptop or desktop (far away).

How do I measure THAT signal strength?

At the router. Sometimes the router can display such information in it's GUI,
depending on the router.
AVM Fritz!Box routers can.
