I recently heard a comment something like
"LibreMesh is designed for
wireless mesh networks." But the longest-running community network in
Ecuador using LibreMesh has exactly zero inter-node links via
LibreMesh WiFi. Our network looks like this:
WDR3500 running LibreMesh 17.06 in house A
/\
| UTP/ethernet cable
\/
WDR3500 running LibreMesh 17.06 in house B
/\
| UTP/ethernet cable
\/
5-port switch
/\
| UTP/ethernet cable
\/
WDR3500 running LibreMesh 17.06 in house C
/\
| link between two Ubiquiti LiteBeam M5 running stock firmware
\/
WDR3500 running LibreMesh 17.06 in house D
So... what's going on? Is LibreMesh not tested for wired inter-node
connections? Are hybrid networks that include both wired and wireless
connections not part of the picture? If this is true, then what's the
path from here to the day when we say "LibreMesh is designed for
community mesh networks" regardless of their use of UTP, WiFi, fiber
optic, proprietary WiFi links, or whatever else?
cheers,
