Mesh between AP130 and AP150w

[Alexander4]

I want to use a AP150w without LAN connection as mesh and the ethernet ports for connecting wired clients.

I have set up a wireless network which runs ok. Then i configure the AP150 on wifi0 as backhaul mesh and choose the same channel as on the wired AP130. But after a restart, the AP150w will not mesh connect to the AP130. And, i see no Neighboring Devices on the AP150w, while using a wired connection. Strange.

May anybody share some light with me. I am totally lost.

Thanks for help.

You'll need to enabled this on the AP130 also in order for the 150 to mesh. It may not come up instantly, but if you keep check on the show amrp neighbor you should see it come up shortly after.

@Ashley Finch​ Hi, no, only the AP150w. Good?

Thanks for the new tech data, the interference is improved, you're down to a 12% CRC failure rate, which is livable. Could you run these commands on the APs that are trying to mesh and share the output:

show hive VHM-RAAPFUJE neighbor

show amrp neighbor

Also could you confirm that the meshing APs have the same HiveOS version (or as close as possible), the same channels statically set for the radios you are using for Mesh, and that they both have Backhaul Mesh link chosen as their Radio usage mode?

Hi Alexander,

Has the AP130 also had the backhaul mesh link option enabled on the WiFi0 interface?

HI SAM,

i have moved the AP150w as close as 1 meter to the AP130. And attached, is the techdata of the AP130. Maybe you get now better results, but the AP150w is still not meshing.... 😞

best
