This can be achieved compiling LibreMesh *without* selecting the
"lime-proto-anygw" package (but I never tested this scenario).
Then, you should connect a LAN port of your router with a LAN port of a
LibreMesh node (very bad idea unless lime-proto-anygw is deselected!!).
Oh, okay. great! I was planning on building it myself anyway for the
experience and fun of it. I will keep that in mind.
Otherwise, I would use one of these and replace my router, and leave
"lime-proto-anygw" enabled on the build.
I used to use openwrt some years ago on a linksys. and while it did work, I
struggled with various problems.
If I had some stable hardware and stable openwrt, then I would not be
opposed to swapping my ASA completely. I have a lot of port-forwards but
those are easy to reproduce.
If that is the direction I go, I will need to really think about which
hardware choices to make. One for the 'edge', other's for just
AP/switches.

want my ASA to be part of the

network,
just act as my edge router. If I can do that, I'll give
libremesh
a try, for sure.
My ASA is already my DHCP
server, so if I can disable it with libremesh
it should work. My desired setup is as simple as you made it sound,
except I want 2-3 libremesh devices. I'll try it out and see. Off to
research good, but affordable, compatible routers. Thanks!
