Potentially silly question. Once the xo-1 ‎is successfully attached to an AP, does the mesh beaconing on those three channels on that box then potentially stop? I had my twelve xo -1s successfully attach to an AP, and run internet reliably, concurrently  . Powering up a virgin non-ap attached

I've seen XO-1s randomly drop off the AP in Paraguay. I *think* we solved it by disabling 802.11s (the mesh network). This can be done at boot time by setting a parameter of the libertas kernel module. Sorry for being vague, it's been a long time ago. On 02/07/2014 10:10 AM, Adam Holt wrote:
