  • 1.  Mesh AP preference

    Posted 4 days ago

    See attached, as you can see we have 2xAP27 providing point to point link , AP11D with downlink to switch.

    Since there is double brick wall between them you would expect that AP11D would hop from the AP27 mesh AP as I understand 2 mesh hops is supported.

    Is there any way to force the AP11D to mesh via the AP27 mesh AP?

    At this point the AP27 mesh is serving no purpose !!

    For sure during adverse weather the AP27 wired AP signal could be impaired .  Will the AP11D ever switch over if signal to AP27 wired AP becomes weak ?  

    Please review both images and advise accordingly 

    Thanks in advance !

    In an Instant mesh network, the maximum hop count is two nodes (point > point > portal) so your design looks good but i assume when AP11 can see the portal AP why would it take/add another hop. I don't think you can force this unless someone else has an idea
