What do colors indicate on the dots by devices in network map?

Router and extenders have colored dots next to them. I have seen purple, white and green. What do the colors indicate?

    Hi JCLs, please see the meaning of the indicators below:

     

    Green - Online (Internet is available)

    Red - Offline (Internet is not available)

    Grey - Internet status is unknown

        Hello Danyankie,

         

        May you provide a screenshot of your network map. 

         

        Thanks,

        Christian
