Linux/WL1835MOD: Extender AP using Mesh+STA

Part Number: WL1835MOD

Tool/software: Linux

Hi 

I am confusing with deception on 6622.swaa166.pdf

Section 5.3 Mesh+Station.

It said 

Running mesh and station interfaces on the same device enables range extension of the AP and
offloading from the AP to the mesh network.

Which means if i connect AP which I want to extend the range. and run the mesh

It will extend my AP??

or

Am I have to make AP <->|STA+MESH|<->|MESH+AP|<-> User phone?

I made this connect it does not work

Is it because I did not configured routing table or iptables?

Is it because I have to make all in same network?

Basically I just want to extend AP using mesh

Could you give me some instruction or exmaple?

I tried 

and follow the multi role

It does not work for me

Thank you

    On which platform did you try? Is it with WL18xx COM8 board with TIAM35xx EVM? Which software package did you use?

    Thanks

    I installed ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-03.01.00.06 and R8.7 on Beaglebone Green Wireless(BBGW)

    I followed this instruction 7444.TI Wilink 8 Linux SDK.pdf

    I can only ping in mesh network between mesh0 to another mesh0

    For example,

    BBGW(1)

    mesh0 : ip address 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

    BBGW(2)

    mesh0:  ip address1 92.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

    I can ping mesh0 <->mesh0 each other

    but I can not ping between wlan0(AP) and wlan0(STA) when I create network like this

    BBGW(1)

    mesh0 : ip address 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

    wlan0(AP) ip address 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0

    BBGW(2)

    mesh0:  ip address 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

    wlan0(STA) ip address 192.168.1.217 netmask 255.255.255.0 

    dns server 192.168.1.2

    My goal is extend AP which is connected on wlan0(STA) using Wi-Fi mesh
