The root node is looking for a WiFi Router, the example does not work if the WiFi Router is off.
Why is this?

My application only requires node-to-node communication.
It is desired to operate the mesh w/o any infrastructure and thus w/o router.
It would be okay to select a fixed node as the root.
Is this possible?

Is there any progress on router-less root-node selection?
I also just need node-to-node communication w/o a router.
