First of all, thanks in advance for this fantastic mesh protocol. I am kind of new at this so any advice is welcome.

I have a little setup with two nodes and one gateway, from time to time one of the nodes just stops transmitting data.

I see the node on the originators list but the TQ never changes unlike when its working OK that the TQ changes a bit during the day. The thing is that the node is there, since the last-seen time is updating every few seconds just like when is working normal. I have tried changing my batman configuration with no positive results. Also, I have changed the nodes and this is still happening.

This happens and resolves itself in a couple of hours, but it does not happen in other setups I have with more nodes.

I tried to search the internet for this issue with zero luck. The three devices are OM2P-HS v3 running Openwrt r49395 with batman-adv 2016.2 using BATMAN IV.

Have you guys have encountered this problem before? Is my configuration wrong in any way? Do you have any recommendations for me?

Below is the configuration I am using, hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any more information I can make available to you to help me solve this problem.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read all this. I appreciate any comments and feedback you can give.

Kind Regards, Derick
