I= don=E2=80=99t know for sure if the radio used for mesh can be selected bec= ause I don=E2=80=99t have a dual radio device to test, but I don=E2=80=99t = see any evidence that you can configure it it the management interface=E2= =80=A6 > Unfortunately you shot yourself in the foot with wrong choice of under-powered devices :( You need at least two radio devices, and even then is a question if that would work. Other thing you could try on a budget is to build your own solution from off-the-shelf components, but you need to invest much more time and effort into this. Some rules you need to follow to get an working network: - avoid using using omni-directional antennas if humanly possible (take a look at TP-LINK CPE210/510 and Ubiquiti Nano M2/M5 devices) - use dedicated radios for mesh (this means using dual radio devices if possible or two cheap devices instead of one more expensive) - cut tree branches that are obstructing LOS, move devices higher or lower to achieve clear LOS - run outdoor cable trough ground instead wifi if location is close enough Hope things work out!
