Mesh Neighbors, Parents, and Children

).
•
A parent access point offers the best route back to the RAP based on its ease values. A parent can

be either the RAP itself or another MAP.
–
Ease is calculated using the SNR and link hop value of each neighbor. Given multiple choices,

generally an access point with a higher ease value is selected.
•
A child access point selects the parent access point as its best route back to the RAP.
•
A neighbor access point is within RF range of another access point but is not selected as its parent
or a child because its ease values are lower than that of the parent.
