Hi,
I have been having a ton of trouble over the past 2 weeks trying to get a BATMAN-ADV mesh up and running for a school research project. I'm at the point where I'm able to run batctl o & batctl n and they both show up saying the other node is connected. But, there is no way for me to actually connect to the mesh for me to use it or see if its actually working. I'm trying to make a simple 2 node mesh and I followed these two tutorials. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/mesh/batmanhttps://www.radiusdesk.com/old_wiki/technical_discussions/batman_basic.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm really struggling with this.
I'm going to put my config files for the mesh below. They are the same for each node.
Best,
Justin
