  • I’ll just quote the OpenWRT Wiki here, because I think half the comments here confuse mesh and roaming:

    Are you sure you want a mesh?

    If you are looking for a solution to enable your user devices to seamlessly roam from one access point to another in your home, you need 802.11r (roaming), not 802.11s.

    It is unfortunate that some manufacturers have used the word “Mesh” for marketing purposes to describe their non-standard, closed source, proprietary “roaming” functionality and this causes great confusion to many people when they enter the world of international standards and open source firmware for their network infrastructure.

    • The accepted standard for mesh networks is ieee802.11s.
    • The accepted standard for fast roaming of user devices is ieee802.11r.

    These are two completely unrelated standards.

  • I got three, they all seem to work on me, but sometimes I prefer one over the other for no clear reason.

    1. Counting my breath duration. Breath in at normal speed, count how long it is, then breath out slower than that by two or three counts.

    2. Force my thoughts to become disorganised. I do something like free association between concepts and pictures of the inner eye. Common starting point for me is a free flight over a hilly landscape, then random things, woods, trees, rocks, water whatever, I don’t try to control anything about the theme. If I start thinking coherently or about something concrete from my life, I just start again, with another nature scene.

    3. Imagine a calm scene. The suggested starting point I was told was floating on an air matteress in an alpine lake (helps that we know those around here, but I’m sure non-alpine lakes work too) and imagine the things you can see uphill as you drift around your axis.
