[wsfii-discuss] WasabiNet mesh in St. Louis appeared on local TV news!

Hi All,

Thanks for the tips.  I'm actually planning to deploy a couple Ubiquiti
5.8GHz radios this week, a Rocket M and a Nanostation M5, to try things out.

The goal is to build with these a small backbone mesh (~10 nodes) to supply
wired uplinks to 2.4GHz mesh devices, i.e. gateways for WasabiNet mesh.  I
only plan to have exclusively my own 5.8Ghz radios participate in the
backbone mesh; actual end users would still connect at 2.4GHz.

Are there more details on the limitations of mesh topology with the current
AirOS+OLSR firmware, in the absence of adhoc/adhemo?  The screenshots below
do suggest you do have a functioning mesh with gateway(s)/repeaters.

Also, I happened to find recent mention of Virtual AP support in AirOS
v5.3b2 on the Ubiquiti forum:
