@ jmh8,
Ofcourse I had considered doing it with 3 routers. Sensible it may be regarding mesh, but I don't think it is appropriate for a mesh Environment. I feel the environment needs to be extensive and needs to focus on being able to take bigger load now more than ever.
You mentioned : "timing problems due to emulation for real time stuff like this often create their own set of problems unrelated to what you are trying to do." I am not exactly sure what you meant by that, but if it is related to something like connection problems or interferences due to more number of devices, setting up more number of nodes in the mesh would make sense then.
Ofcourse, this too is my idealogy and I have no proper standards to go by.
But I hadn't considered testing with just 3 routers due to my own opinion regarding a good mesh. If I could get a confirmation regarding this and if it could be later on used as research paper material, I would go ahead with that itself.

Hi,
I think there was a previous suggestion of a few [at least 3] routers.
I find three is the minimum needed. Two to talk to each other and one to listen to the conversation. They are cheap enough!
Emulating may make sense later, but timing problems due to emulation for real time stuff like this often create their own set of problems unrelated to what you are trying to do.
Antennas up and in the clear also seem to be important.
Just my opinions of course.
Good luck. John
