Controllerless Networks

Hi all

Is there an explanation why the mesh doesn't work if there is no default gateway in the IP config of the AP ?

The AP can be attempting to figure out what mesh role to operate as based on IP connectivity.

I feel DHCP would avoid this extra hassle. I don't feel static assignment is necessary or the best.

@Kevin Rice : I did set up the AP through DHCP, but if DHCP does not give a default gateway, mesh does not come up.
