Perhaps we could use the mesh icon with a little XO badge, to indicate that it's functionally similar to the "real" mesh, but enabled by a specific XO. Thinking about this now, it might be the case that Tomeu had built this functionality as an extension of the wireless network device in the Frame; Should it be an extension of the mesh device instead, based on its perceived similarities to that feature more than an AP?
