When the NanoStation and NanoLoco were separated by 150 meters, the
quality of internet connection in the entire network declined. Any idea
why? Packet loss?
Network structure:
Internet
\//\
MicroTik parabolic dish antenna (ISP)
\/cable/\
TP-Link 840N(ES) v5 (ISP, stock firmware) <-WiFi + cable-> clients
\/cable/\
NanoStation2 (stock firmware, not LibreMesh-able)
\/WiFi 150 meters/\
NanoLocoM2 (stock firmware)
\/cable/\
TP-Link 842N (LibreMesh 17.06)
\/WiFi/\
clients

This would be the Nano-M LibreMesh firmware?
Does this device and firmware version seem compatible with LibreMesh
flashing?
In case it's relevant:
FCC I: SWX-NS2
ICID: 6545A-NS2
Looking around more, I realize this is a NanoStation 2, different from a
NanoStation M2, and has 4MB flash, 16MB RAM, and a slow processor... in
other words, darn, I bought something different than what I wanted. I
could try putting lime-zero on it...??

At this point it works in station mode to connect with the Loco M2, but
I can no longer access its management interface. The Loco shows the
connection as "Last known IP: unknown" -- kind of a joke. Oh well, as
long as it works, I don't need to change anything. But I plan to flash
the Loco M2 XW with LibreMesh, and maybe at that point the connection
will fail and I'll hard reset the NS2 and reconfigure it.
This experience is making me understand the motivation to create the
LibreRouter. Time to figure out how to get it through type approval /
homologation in Ecuador.
