I made a video if anyone needs it

This video is an appendix to the guide created by benkay86. I felt that some people would learn better from a video so it's why I made this tutorial. There are also some improvements to settings (thanks Paul). What this tutorial contains:

1: Making and flashing a premade OpenWRT image
2: Configuring batman-adv in OpenWRT
3: Configuring a radio for the batman mesh
4: SSID configuration with fast roaming
4: Setting up a client node and highlighting the differences. You can repeat for how many nodes you need.

Changes made from benkay86 guide:

1: Changed to mbedtls rather than openssl or wolfssl. I did lots of reading and experienced users have always recommended mbedtls as the latest for mesh. It's also the default in OpenWRT anyway.

2: Override MTU setting with 1528 configured on batman interface as mentioned by Paul.

Great tutorial! And if I were using a cable, would I do it this way too?

Thank you!

As for your question, yes it should be the same since the bat0 interface has been bridged to the LAN. benkay86 actually mentioned this in bridging LAN to mesh part of their guide: "You will most likely want to bridge the bat0 tunnel interface with the local area network. This will allow traffic from the ethernet lan ports and wireless access points to be routed over the mesh."

Hope this helps.

I followed your tutorial, but I tried both wired and Wi-Fi connections, leaving it hybrid, and I can't get IPv6 to work at all. It works if I turn off the main server for a few minutes, but then it disconnects IPv6. Is something wrong?
