Hello All,
I'm trying to get in touch with the wifi MESH function, but obviously there is not much to find.
yes I did the search in the forum and also the wiki, but the findings a quite small and of minimal information. Even on youtube there is nothing usable.
Can some give me the basics hint how to configure a Mesh network with dd-wrt?
got several archer 7 and 1043 routers where I can test this feature, but a little guidance would be great.
anybody able to assist me?

Take a look at the links Blkt shared. Mesh can work well, but there are currently some significant limitations on DD-WRT. Since VAPs don't work, the 1043s are especially limited (no wifi). _________________ Current devices:

The initial builds were very promising around the months of April/may '19. But the later builds from r40009 build many things stopped working like the encryption etc. I was able to get speeds close to 780mbps compared to repeater bridge max of 360mbps. BrainSlayer never revisited this again so I gave up and moved to 10GbaseT Wired backhaul mesh. Still the old dd-wrt build mesh is working fine without any issues I have lots of IOTs in that network, no issues _________________ ASUS GT-BE98 PRO Main: Fiber 5gbps up/down
