Seems like on my node2 the TQ value keeps ramping up and down (120-230) along with my internet usage...
Batman does consider and average TQ value rite?

Philippe...seems your problem and mine are similar hence continuing posting in
this thread,if you feel its different please tell me ill repost as a new thread.

My network setup is as shown
                   
                        Gateway 10.24.249.96                      
                        -------------------------------------
                                     |
                50ft             |
                                 |
                               |
                             |
                   Node 1  (10.1.125.158)
                   -------------------------------------
                                   |
                 25ft               |
                                          |
                                Node 2 (10.1.52.)236
                               -------------------------------------
       
The wifi signal strength between  Gateway and Node 1 is good and so is between Node 1 and Node 2 .In general the average signal strength between Node 2 and gateway is bad.
But momentarily there seems to be an improvement in direct link between the Gateway and Node 2  and at this point of time the the tunnel formed from Node 2 to gateway via Node 1 is deleted and the a new direct tunnel is formed which again looses link as its average signal strength is bad.

This is what batmand -cd3 on the Node 2 shows

--CUT--

The above keeps happening very frequently (at times even every 5-10 secs)
and in my case eventually the gateway crashed (which is my second problem  i had posted separately yesterday).

I have noticed that while i am connected to Node 2 and am downloading or transfering data from internet the link keeps chopping up and in most cases times out....however as my wan ip is constant the downloads don't get disconnected.
