I have been battling a weird problem recently, I have this problem occurring on two (2) separate networks, one with 2 nodes and the other with 3 nodes. What happens is the network is fine and all of a sudden the clients can not reach the Internet, This what I have observed. on both Openwrt 19.07, 18.07. A reboot of the gateway corrects the problem. 1. Gateway is up and running and able the reach the internet. 2. batctl o show the neighbor/s 3. batctl ping [MAC] fails
