Hi there! I’ve tried working my way through the https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/Wireless_Mesh_configuration_example guide several times now without luck using firmware version RUTM_R_00.07.12.2. My network topology consistent of a RUTM51 as the mesh gateway and 3 x RUTM10 as the mesh nodes. The closest I’ve gotten it to working is by having all mesh nodes provide internet access to clients without issue, but the mesh nodes themselves then end up without internet access and can neither find firmware updates nor load the package repository.
Specifically, I if follow the guide and explicitly choose “lan” as the network interface for both the AP SSID and the mesh SSID for the mesh nodes, clients can access the internet through the mesh nodes but the mesh nodes themselves cannot access the internet, even with a static route pointing traffic at the mesh gateway as per the guide and an explicit DNS server set. This also leaves the mesh nodes with static IPs and they never seem to lease new ones via DHCP from the mesh gateway.
If I instead let the mesh nodes use the default “wifi0” network interface and ensure that it’s configured with a DNS server, I completely lose access to the mesh nodes and clients cannot access the internet through them either. Interestingly, they do show up as having successfully leased IPs when I do a network topology scan from the mesh gateway.
In both cases I’ve selected “lan” as the network interface on the mesh gateway as creating a new “wifi0” interface seems to make the mesh nodes lose connectivity entirely.
Any help would be much appreciated!
