I'm testing 802.11s-based mesh function with two Netgear's EX6150 v2 by referring to https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/mesh/80211s. But the two nodes can't connect with each other. Below are the operation details about the two nodes.
Node 1:
@ vim /etc/config/wireless
config wifi-device 'radio0'
option type 'mac80211'
option channel '11'
option hwmode '11g'
option path 'platform/soc/a000000.wifi'
option htmode 'HT20'
option disabled '0'
config wifi-iface 'mesh'
option device 'radio0'
option network 'mesh'
option mode 'mesh'
option mesh_id 'mymesh'
option encryption 'none'
config wifi-device 'radio1'
option type 'mac80211'
option channel '36'
option hwmode '11a'
option path 'platform/soc/a800000.wifi'
option htmode 'VHT80'
option disabled '1'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
option device 'radio1'
option network 'lan'
option mode 'ap'
option ssid 'OpenWrt'
option encryption 'none'

Both of the two nodes' default main ip address is 192.168.1.1, does this affect the mesh establishment?
Another problem is how to modify the 802.11s-based mesh's parameters configuration files so that it will be configured automatically each time when the device reboots?
Thanks.
