Starting with mesh networks

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

My 802.11s mesh is working, except for encryption. I'll continue my questions about encryption in this other, more appropriate thread .

For reference, these are my current OpenWrt 18.06.1 config files, which bring up a working (although unencrypted) 802.11s mesh:
