Top 15 Libre-Mesh Alternative and Similar Softwares | Mar 2024

Libre-Mesh is a set of modules extending the OpenWrt router distribution to create self-configuring wireless and wired mesh networks.

By default it uses ad-hoc wifi networking and batman-adv, BMX as the routing daemons.

You can compile your own flavor of Libre-Mesh and choose the routing daemons and the extensions you need. In addition to batman-adv and BMX, it currently supports BGP, Babel, OLSR, OLSRv2.
