I have no idea what the XO does, only observations. I speculate that when an XO connects to an AP, it stops connecting to the mesh.

My observation is that when the AP is on a different channel than the mesh the XO is much more likely to find it and connect to it, especially with an unpatched libertas driver.

So I think the answer is yes to 1) and yes to 2), especially if you are
unlucky enough to have your target AP and the active mesh on the same
channel.


Does the mesh get disabled or moved when you connect to an AP on a
different channel?  The XO's only have a single radio so can only
communicate efficiently on a single channel at a time.  If we are
trying to keep the mesh active on one channel and connect to an AP on
another that is certainly going to cause problems.
