Hi folks,
I am using mesh11sd on a Xiaomi 4a gigabit edition , and a Cudy RE3000 range extender. I have the basic mesh set up between them, and now I’m trying to replicate my existing wifi network ssid for clients to connect to (so I don’t have to reconfigure them all). However, my existing network ssid has a space in it “My Wifi”, and the latter part is not being included. I only see a “My” network being broadcast. Am I doing something wrong?
The non-mesh SSID is configured in /etc/config/wireless, exactly as it is on the production AP (at a different physical location, so I know which SSID is being broadcast).
I followed the basic steps at https://github.com/openNDS/mesh11sd/?tab=readme-ov-file#1-the-mesh11sd-project, taking the “Firmware Selector” path. I initially used the SSID in “mesh11sd.setup.mesh_gate_base_ssid”, but that resulted in a bunch of node-specific “My-5g-xxxx” SSIDs being announced, and nothing resembling unsuffixed SSID. I then discovered the “ssid_suffix_enable” option, which eliminated the suffix, but still misses the full SSID.
I then tried setting up /etc/config/wireless as it is in the production device, and removed “mesh11sd.setup.mesh_gate_base_ssid” from /etc/config/mesh11sd, but it still only broadcasts “My” network, instead of “My Wifi”.
/etc/config/mesh11sd:

Any ideas?

Edit 2: Also, there seems to be an error in the docs, regarding mesh11sd read_log -f, as suggested in the Confidence Test commandline. This read_log option doesn’t seem to exist at all.
I do appreciate all the effort that you have put into this (and other projects) immensely.
