I have no idea of how well the 802.11s mesh works with MediaTek. The only thing I know about MediaTek is that you could have problem when meshing over ethernet cable [1]. Maybe try changing the htmode (the wifi channel width [2]) to HT40 for 2.4 GHz and VHT40/VHT80 (which should work only for AC routers) for 5 GHz. This could as well degrade performances rather than improve them [2] but it's worth a try. Due to a bug, this does not work when using LibreMesh based on OpenWrt 18.06 [3] but this should be ok for you on snapshot. In /etc/config/lime-node config lime wifi option htmode_2ghz 'HT40' option htmode_5ghz 'VHT40' and then lime-config and reboot. Another thing I always wondered but I never actually tested is how much does impact to have one or two AP interfaces [4] (as compared to having just 802.11s mesh), do you think you can test it? For doing this, simply define the modes list with just the mesh. In /etc/config/lime-node config lime wifi list modes 'ieee80211s' and then lime-config and reboot. Please let us know!
