MEASURED ON T2 SPAN 5900-7100 MHz REF 02:03:7F:12:CD:CE

A mesh you can measure.

wmeshd is a pure-Go control plane for T2 routers. Its 6 GHz backhaul tunes a channel, locks it under WPA3, and carries real traffic over the air. Here is the proof, the architecture, and what is still unmeasured.

On the bench

Two live T2 units. What is measured is separated from what is still a plan.

01 · RADIO

6 GHz backhaul

STA locked to the root AP at 160 MHz under WPA3-SAE. IP proven across the air, not the wire.

Proven on hardware
02 · CONTROL

Topology & recovery

Authenticated node state and measured links over nl80211, with a self-heal coordinator.

Integration in progress
03 · SCALE

Ten-hop field run

A repeatable eleven-node chain: traffic, induced link loss, latency tails, recovery time.

Lab plan, not yet run

The traffic rides the radio, not the wire

Both units also share a wired uplink, so a ping alone proves nothing. We put an address pair that exists only on the 6 GHz link, then watched both interfaces at once during the same burst.

  • ✓The wire (eth0) captured zero of the test packets.
  • ✓The radio (wmbhsta0) captured all of them, 0% loss.
  • ✓Link mode read back as EHT / Wi-Fi 7, not 802.11ax.
