Bruno, did you have a chance to try a C50v1 with LibreMesh based on
OpenWrt 18.06, to see if it's more stable?

Hello meshies
I know everybody is having fun at Battle Mesh, but if someone could take
a look at this I' d really appreciate.
I really have my eyes on the C50, as it seems to be the cheapest
dual-band on the market now. I can get on in Brazil for less than 40
USD! Last week I bought one which I later found out to be an unsupported
V2. But now I got a V1, and it almost works. If it works, I'll the buy
about 10 for an installation in two weeks.
The problem seems to be with 802.11. The 2.4Ghz radio does not work in
ad-hoc mode - although the 5Ghz radio does. Then I don't know if it's
related, but when it meshes with a WDR3500, the Internet is painfully
slow, with some ping times about 1000-2000 milliseconds. Pinging from
the LiMe gateway at the same time gives me a steady 57ms. Perhaps a
different driver should be used?
Attached is a file with information gathered from the router.
A few other oddities (not as important as the issue above):
- Could not flash from stock directly with the compiled LiMe. I had to
first use this openwrt [1], then LiMe
- When I flash from the firmware above with the LiMe I compiled or the
download Lede, I get the message:
" It appears that you try to flash an image that does not fit into the
flash memory, please verify the image file!
Size: 7.63 MB (7.62 MB available)"
It works fine, tough.
- The firmware I cooked with my community settings (using cooker) won't
go through to the Internet, and gives this ESSID instead of my
community's:{{NETWORK_NAME}} (although it meshes with the LiMe gateway)
- The firmware I cooked without community settings connects to the
Internet through the LiMe gateway with the sluggish times above.
Thanks!
