I bought a TP-Link RE200 v3 to use as a proper wifi repeater, since openwrt provides support for it, it could be used as a WDS repeater or 802.11s mesh point. I've configured an 802.11s mesh network, but it seems like there's an issue with some part of the driver, since as soon as the mesh network is enabled the following kernel warning appears in the logs:
... mesh network is enabled

I tried using wpad-mesh-wolfssl instead of wpad-wolfssl, but the results are the same.
The mesh network is in fact accessible, but I bring any other access points up. Any ideas of what could be causing these issues?
