Hello Sven, thanks for the help.
I feel like the wifi adapters are not the problem: Even when placing two of them on the same table I get a packet loss of 50% with less than half a meter apart. That can't be an antenna problem, don't you think?
Thanks a lot Richard

These number look really bad. Looks like the wifi links between the nodes are basically not working. You can check the signal of the links via `iw dev wlan0 station dump` but there is (most likely) nothing which can be done from the batman-adv side. First you have to fix your wifi links.
I have no idea what these LOGILINK WL0084B are using or how good they are (they look rather crappy regarding the antennas but please correct me). If you want to try a different mode (in case Adhoc is broken in this driver) then you can try to use meshpoint (802.11s) without the routing enabled. I think this was done like this:
iw phy phy0 interface add $MESH_IFACE type mp iw dev $MESH_IFACE set mesh_param mesh_ttl 1 iw dev $MESH_IFACE set mesh_param mesh_fwding 0 iw dev $MESH_IFACE mesh join $MESH_IDKind regards, Sven
