Linus and Simon,
Thank you for your responses.
I did try "batctl ping" and the adjacent device was unreachable. I could see it with "batctl n". I did not try a simple IPv6 link local ping. However, I could see it using "iw dev mesh_5g station dump"
I agree that it feels like a problem with ath10k reporting the data rate incorrectly (or not at all).
I am going to try upgrading to the latest release, but it will be a few days. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again,

Sounds great! You may want to take some more measures to find out if the packets are actually getting transferred, e.g. doing tcpdump on both the sending and receiving side. If you see packets sent but not received on the other side, you know that it's a driver issue. Also "tcpdump" helps. For ath10k, you may want to try 11s/mesh mode with TTL=1, while with ath10k-ct you may prefer IBSS mode (I think that wasn't mentioned in your first mail).
Cheers, Simon
