This displays the AP’s power status.

Full: The AP receives power using a power adapter and/ or through a PoE switch/ injector using IEEE 802.3at PoE or IEEE 802.3bt (WAX650S only at the time of writing).

Limited: The AP receives power using a power through a PoE switch/ injector using IEEE 802.3af PoE or IEEE 802.3at plus (WAX650S only at the time of writing) even when it is also connected to a power source using a power adapter.

When the AP is in limited power mode, the AP throughput decreases and has just on transmitting radio chain.

It always shows Full if the AP does not support power detection.
