WL1837MOD: Configuring/manual routing the mesh path in a mesh network.

Part Number: WL1837MOD

Hi all,

I am working on beaglebone wireless- Cape, experimenting on 802.11s MESH.

I am interesting to quantify MESH-HOP latency by file transfer operation between nodes with multiple hops.

I see that once mesh is established, MESH routes are automatic, to create a HOP between nodes, we had to make a physical speration between

nodes to a larger distance.

Instead, how can I configure a route path so that my file transfer takes a defined hops within mesh and reach destination.

Thanks

Ramesh.

    Hi Ramesh,

    The WL18x FW does not have the capability to manually configure hops. If you want to do something like this, then I would suggest using simultaneous AP/STA mode, where a STA device can be connected to another's AP, and then repeating the links for every device you want to connect. It's a very manual process but that's what you could do.

    Hi Sabeeh,

    Thanks for response, This helps to stop exploring on WL18x FW, instead, look for some other alternate.

    Your approach is something like i am creating MESH on my own, and not utilizing the 802.11S mesh,

    The other alternate i have right now, is that I place two nodes distant apart that they loose connection, and introduce a new node in between them. 

    This enforces that the two nodes to take a HOP with the newly introduced node.

    This method is not reproducible and might require a large setup space.

    Thanks

    Ramesh.
