Local mesh
Local mesh profiles
Maximum range (ack timeout)
This is a global setting that is configurable on the Radio page when the Operating mode is
set to Local mesh. It fine tunes internal timeout settings to account for the distance that a
link spans. For normal operation, it is set to less than 1 km.
This is a global setting that applies to all wireless connections made with a radio, not just for
local mesh links. Therefore, if you are also using a radio to access an AP, adjusting this
setting may lower the performance for users with marginal signal strength or when
interference is present. (Essentially, it means that if a frame needs to be retransmitted it will
take longer before the actual retransmit takes place.)
