AX device won't show TX power in Wifi

Just pick up a hap ax3. It took me a while to make it work on my home networking environment. However, I found the v7 WiFi not showing the TX power. On CAPsMAN, my older devices are fine. How can I get the TX power info from WiFi? Is there any reason hiding this information? https://kspqm.kymco.com/...

For those who are also looking for female RJ45 on RB450G, the 48F-01GY2DPl2NL will do the job. However, only one LED will lit. You need to manually flip the polarity of the other LED. Disassemble the metal casting from connector, and push the LED out. Reverse it and push it back. You're done.
