==Mesh Mode==
 +
 +
{{{name}}} can also be configured as a mesh gateway or as a node (router) connecting to a mesh gateway.
 +
 +
When {{{name}}} is configured as '''mesh gateway''' it provides internet access to other mesh nodes. When configured as '''mesh node''' it acts as a mesh router which forwards traffic to and from mesh gateway. Nodes also connect other wireless devices to the network such as laptops and cellphones.
 +
 +
For complete wireless mesh network example please visit [[Wireless_Mesh_configuration_example|Wireless Mesh configuration example]].
 +
 +
===Mesh Gateway===
 +
 +
When configuring {{{name}}} as a '''mesh gateway''' internet connectivity is '''required'''.
 +
 +
To begin click the 'Add' button below of wireless interface in the Network → Wireless page:
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway add button.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
In '''General Setup''' tab change '''Mode''' to '''Mesh''', set '''Mesh ID''' (this number has to be the same in all nodes that connect to this wireless mesh network) and select desired '''Network''' which will be attached to the interface. Click '''Save & Apply'''.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway 1.png|Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway general settings|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Next navigate to '''Wireless Security''' tab and select '''WPA3-SAE''' encryption to add authentication layer. The password must match in all devices within the mesh network.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway 2.png|Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway security|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Lastly, in '''Advanced Settings''' tab enable '''Forward mesh peer traffic''' and set '''RSSI threshold for joining''' to -80. Leave the rest as set by default.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway 3.png|Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway advanced settings|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Click '''Save & Apply''' and if you configured correctly, you will have wireless mesh gateway ready.
 +
 +
===Mesh Node===
 +
 +
Mesh node is configured the same way as mesh gateway. Node has to match gateway's wireless mesh interface configuration. Additionally, LAN interface has to be setup as DHCP client:
 +
 +
1. Access router‘s WebUI. Navigate to Network → Interfaces.
 +
 +
2. Press pencil icon on the right of the LAN interface.
 +
 +

 +
 +
3. Change Protocol to DHCP.
 +
 +
