I am looking for a new router plus accesspoints, that supports Mesh-networking.

Currently I own a WNDR3800 with LibreCMC installed, and i can see that i can install packages that can activate "802.11s". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11s ...but it does not work, when i try to install and activate it.

So i guess, that LibreCMC supports "Mesh or 802.11s", but my hardware does not.

What hardware would you recommend me to buy? It is for home use, so i guess 2-3 access points should be fine.

I am sorry if I am posting this question in the wrong place, but I have not been able to find a LibreCMC forum, where this is discussed.

I have now made some more research on the subject.

What i was trying to accomplish is to have uninterrupted WiFi connection when moving around in the house, for the different access-points.

Mesh seems to do that trick, but with some more research, I have found out, that it is 802.11r "fast transition" that i need to set up.

I will close the subject.

Since you have done some research on it, would you be willing to share your findings in a mesh networking page on the wiki? You can add a page to the wiki by forking libreCMC, creating the markdown file for it in the docs folder and opening a pull request.
