Is there any plan to support Mesh on the Beryl AX? Seems its possible to set it up in a sudo mesh by setting up extender then renaming the ssid's on the 2nd device. Would be great if actual mesh were an option.
Mesh is a fancy name for a "repeater" or "extender", which has been around for many years. Mesh just makes connection much much simpler via software, with out manually changing various settings. In other words, Mesh was created to make consumer products much easier to connect together with out having any technical knowledge of any sort.
Same way remote servers were given "Cloud" name, so it doesn't scare away consumers who have no technical knowledge.
Beryl AX is capable of "Mesh", but requires more hands on configuration as all wifi routers on the market, even if they don't have word "Mesh" in the settings.

Im specifically asking if the Beryl AX will come prepackaged with Wireless Mesh Protocol (WMP/ IEEE 802.11) and the packages that support it (luci-proto-wireless luci-app-wireless mesh). I should have been more specific. Yes I could download the packages and attempt to set it up, but it's not native and built into the firmware that GLinet packages into the Beryl. Thanks for the reply but you aren't exactly telling the whole story.
