I'm getting ready to deploy a number of NS2's in WDS mode and my only concern is the routing protocol. It appears that the NS doesn't have STP or another protocol which can handle complex routing between multiple WDS nodes when they are all mutually associated hence Ubiquiti's suggestion to avoid that and have all nodes in a star configuration. That configuration might no work in my situation.
Is everyone running the stock firmware (AirOS) or has anyone ventured into using alternatives which offer more advanced routing such as dd- WRT or OpenWRT with Robin or olsr or ospf?
