A historic parks pavilion cannot be cabled without damaging protected finishes, so mesh is proposed for a few APs. What must the WLAN design document that a simple 'mesh mode' checkbox does not provide?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Mesh is not a checkbox miracle. If cabling is impossible, design the backhaul RF—capacity, channels, hops—like the critical path it is.
Full Explanation
When cabling is infeasible, mesh may be used as a last resort, but the design must explicitly plan backhaul RF: channel strategy, capacity budget, hop counts, and failure behavior. Treating mesh as an accidental AP mode without a backhaul plan risks airtime collapse and unstable client experience. Expert documentation makes mesh intentional and constrained.
