+1, we had mild success with those dongles (tl-wn722n = ath9k_htc), since the limitations don't become apparent in small meshes (~5 nodes) but abandoned them in favour of multiband routers (tl-wdr3500) which use ath9k on both radios, which is a lot more stable and doesn't have such 7-peers limitation. based on our first-hand experience (we even bought a lot of 20 at some point), i'd advise against trying to use ath9k_htc USB dongles for meshing :( cheers! >> >> On 06/30/2014 05:17 PM, [email protected] wrote: >>> >>> HI all, >>> >>> If anyone is using batman with a USB wifi dongle could you post the name >>> of the dongle you are using? >>> If it required a special driver or firmware please let me know where you >>> got it. >>> Also please give dongles names not chipsets as it is hard to know what >>> chipset is in what dongles. >>> >>> ‹Thank in advance. >>> >>> David. >>> >>>
