Test EM on BPI R4
...
Please ensure below processes are running in ctrl.
...
- All configured VAPs should be UP and Running
- VAPs should be broadcasting EasyMesh default SSIDs(eg, private_ssid, mesh_backhaul)
Extender1
Prerequisites - One Time Process
- Delete the dnsmasq binary.
...
rm /usr/bin/dnsmasq
2. Remove default gw entry from routing table since WAN access will be through backhaul connection.
...
- Logs files are generated under /tmp folder
