The setup is like this: whangarei is my router, it has one Wlan link to each of this 3 neighbor router, MAC in the grep, hostname as comment. This 3 routers are in one large building (across a park) but sometimes don't see each other. 2 of them have VPN connects. I've looked only to the next hop, by grep the lines beginning with the MAC of this neighbor routers. The intension was to get a better feeling of the link quality then with the 'iw dev wlan0-1 station dump' output. So i have observed this behavior...
Have attached the router output as a file, it should be more readable.
Unfortunately, the information you provided isn't comprehensive enough to comment on your case. Please take a look at bat-hosts to have meaningful names in your originator table. Furthermore, we need a clear description of your setup for what the routing concerns. You can take a look at our routing scenarios page to get a feeling what we usually work with: http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/open-mesh/wiki/Routing_scenarios
A diagram is no must but certainly helpful.
As soon as we have a clearer understanding of how your setup looks like, you can explain what behavior you see and what you would expect, plus originator tables from each node involved.
