What does the small green icon indicate? It is displayed beside some clients (but not all) in the omada cloud controller in the column labeled "Wireless Connection".

@Rod-IT

I compared the clients with and without the green icon. The pattern is that the green icon appears for clients with "power save" set to "enabled" under client>details>statistics.

Hello @lukass2000 ,

User Guide, on page 305, last paragraph, regarding your question.

Please note:

The Power-saving mode is a client end behavior, if the client is in Power-saving mode , there will be a "little green bulb" icon.
If the client is not in this mode, there will be no such icon, which is a client-side mechanism that we cannot control.
This mode is the power save mode in 802.11 protocol, which is different from the power save mode in phone system.

@PH7

This was another question i forgot to ask - i scoured the manual and seen no mention of this.

I thought this could be something to do with mesh networks - i dont use this option, but it is enabled.

Seems the manual is missing some pieces - perhaps a basic legend for icons would be nice

@PH7

Good find - that seems to be what i see as well - based on a quick look at those devices that currently show this icon.

@PH7 I was looking for an answer too, but couldn't find a pattern. For me this green bulb appears on clients which have the "power save" disabled too.

I also have devices with and without a green light?

@Hank21 do you have an explanation for this?

If this is the "power save" function, can I turn this feature on or off?
And can this function be switched on and off individually for each device?
Thanks :)
