v.3.22.8.0 is offering the possibility to evaluate the quality of the link with "Neighbor Status", but still with "Mesh Status".
Why there is a discrepancy between the quality of the link at the same time and also the TxMbps measured in Mesh Status and with iperfspeed ?
Attached some screenshots

Transmitted Mbps (TxMbps) is calculated with the formula (TxMbps = rate x EWMA) where rate is the 802.11 data rate in use by the transmitter and EWMA is the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average or the current time-weighted chance that a packet at this rate will reach the remote station. If no traffic is being routed to the neighbor, this value may be '0' until data is available to measure and determine the optimal rate.

The node is hearing the neighbor 100 % of the time and the neighbor is hearing your node 87% of the time.
IIRC, the node broadcasts that are used to determine LQ is sent at the lowest modulation scheme and at maximum power.
Thus LQ is not a good metric to indicate throughput.
The metrics on those two pages are calculated differently.
"If 7 of 10 packets that the neighbor sent went through, then the probability for a successful packet transmission from this neighbor is 7/10 = 0.7 = 70%. This probability is what we call the Link Quality."
The quality metrics on those two displays will probably not match perfectly, but they should be fairly close to indicate the relative quality of the link.
