Other notes that may be of interest..Tp link set as 3g router mode, with usb Sierra wireless usb modem, set to channel 11, 80211g only, wpa2 pal security. Running stock f/w.Pretty noisy in my house,  could see 7 other ap's, but only one of which was also showing as channel 11‎.All xo1's at q2f19 fi

Both.  Using a tp ml3040I've given the xo's to Mr moody for further testing.

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 x
