Since there is still the problem that the ELP messages are potentially sent too often for low quality links (which also need the automatic retries by the wifi driver/hw). Did you try to increase the interval [1]? Just to make sure that they don't use the complete airtime. There was also this odd wifi problem which somehow was (maybe) triggered or caused by B.A.T.M.A.N. V: https://www.open-mesh.org/issues/341 Unfortunately, the discussion with the reporter was rather frustrating and at the end stopped completely. When I remember it correctly, the wifi performance of all nodes (even when not sending data over the batman-adv interface) was rather bad when some B.A.T.M.A.N. V nodes were around (and one of the nodes disappeared?). Kind regards, Sven [1] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Tweaking#ELP-interval
