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. http://wiki.graz.funkfeuer.at/UbntStationsScreens Also, I happened to find recent mention of Virtual AP support in AirOS v5.3b2 on the Ubiquiti forum: http://www.ubnt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24410 On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 7:09 AM, L.
