I think there should be a well-structured document about the relationship between ESP WIFI MESH and WIFI configurations, especially for the fact that it is a closed source and we don't know how it works in detail. There is a general overview and a guide, but it is not enough for us to understand the...

Thanks for your explanation. This means that for mesh, we should lower the inactivity time, or delay more than 6s the mesh nodes to re-connect to the router. This way the mesh nodes will try to send SA query after 6s, and not be confused for some minutes until receiving a de-auth. Do you have a bett...

I'm posting more details here: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/12856 as I don't get any response from forum.

How we can check if there is connectivity on the link layer? Something like an ARP mechanism or anything like a function that gives the status of connectivity in the link layer by passing the hardware (mac) address of the root. Still, I don't understand how the node assumes that it stayed authentica...

I'm using ip_internal_network example from idf release v5.2 on my ESP32-C6 devkit without any change. Until now, I0m testing with 2 devices. Everything runs smoothly until I reset/reboot my root node and check it again and I see it connects to my home router. I expect the 2nd layer node to fail send...

In this example, https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/b3f7e2c8a4d354df8ef8558ea7caddc07283a57b/examples/mesh/ip_internal_network/main/mesh_main.c#L101 it seems GPIO0 is used as a button and when it is pressed, mqtt publishes something. My problem is that it is not working on my official ESP-C6 ...
