Hello Jason,
ZD version 9.8.3.0.14 has the most up to date bug fixes and performance enhancements
and is sure to be compatible with your current systems. Always save a backup from this version,
and put the '982024' digits in the filename, so you know what version it came from, in case you
ever want/need to roll back.
Have you seen the 'Rowdy' ZoneDirector debug analysis tool, available at this link:
https://loganalyzer1.ruckuswireless.com/Rowdy/
It will display all your Root APs, and graphically display each hop to the Mesh APs in your
network. Mousing over each AP will give you it's name, IP, MAC, mesh role, sw version, and
number of reboots, but does not show the link signal strengths. But with that, you can go to
your ZD's Monitor/Mesh page and look deeper into the links of interest.
