Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3358, , WL1835
Hi
We are checking the WiFi Mesh function with a custom board (AM3358 + WL1835MOD based on Beaglebone Black Wireless).
And we found a problem. If more than 7 mesh devices are activated, the network goes down one by one. Less than 6 works well.
We tested it in several ways. We tried using Wpa_supplicant and iw commands. All the way we used did not solve the problem.
Here is the last test case we did. It is done using the iw commands. We tried to limit participating nodes via plink_action block.
Like this
As shown in the figure above, even if we control the table that appears in the mpath dump, all links have problems when the 7th device is activated.
Even if the mesh is automatically connected without controlling as above, the problem is the same.
Is this a limitation of the module? Or is there something wrong with it?
