Hi @Solla-topee, Team,
I had a chance to update my X50-POE last weekend and run several tests.
1. Connecton was stable - My old ricoh printer connected without isses, old Dell notebook, Macbook, iPhone, Samsung phones connected without issues (2,4 and 5GHz)
2. As I reported issues and need with Singnal strengh indicator and values I focused mostly on that part.
A) signal indicator presenting the signal between deco nodes looks fine / works fine, but I did not have chance to move the nodes to much: -77dBm seems to be right in my setup.: (by defult connected with ethernet)
B) I noticed issue with reporting device's signal ,wireless bandwidth and encription connected to X50-POE:
-82 or 124 dBm does not looks like "strong signal :) "
No issues with devices connected to main X50 (latest 1.8 firmware)

3. I did not take the screenshots for iPhone and I am away from that network but for S25 please find my last comment "No issues with devices connected to main X50 (latest 1.8 firmware)" and pictures below it
Hi @Solla-topee
I updated my main X50 deco using the FW provided via PM but it does NOT help with clients info and statitics connected to X50-POE.
FW info:
X50-POE (name Kominek) still has isses with signal and wireless details:
- iPhone:
Samsung - signal 124dBm :) :
The same devices when connected via main X50:
IMO there is nothing to do with X50 FW - even the ofccial release 1.8.0 is/was fine - The issue still seems to be 1.7.0 X50-POE related
