@Kevin_Z when using the new satelite management gui it never shows more than one connected client even though the router gui shows all connected clients to each satalite router
Just for the record. I can confirm this is also the case with my Archer AX53 V1 running the 1.4.1 pre-release firmware.
Interestingly, the Archer AX55 V1 doesn't have this bug. Shouldn't be too much of an effort to copy&paste the source code properly.

Always nice to see AX53 being improved, now we only need DoT and DoH added.
Some feedback - this firmware seems to be slower inside the router UI. It doesn't affect it's functionality but pages take a couple of seconds to open and fully load. On the previous firmware (1.3.1 Build 20241120) status page or internet page opened almost instantly.
