Outdoor Meraki testMight be an idea, if you haven't looked into it yet.

Thanks Chief Korym, yes I already seen that thread, but seems no ones talks about the real private network environment using mesh ( for our wisp model ) so I better start another thread than hijack there.
I already test in our lab different ap mesh radios with different mesh firmwares ( meraki, Rokus, Fonera, Firetide, generics brands like (aprouter) and my own MOD mesh firmwares ), BUT they don't provide private network management like SET USABLE IP ADDRESS, GATEWAYS, SUBNET, BANDWIDTH PER END-USER, CONTROL ACCESS, SHAPE P2P, ETC.
So I setup a pfSense box in our lab-test and play with the different mesh brands I mention above and all have the same results "in login/control the network "per user".
When I use my MOD CP in the wired net with N users plus one wifi mesh user, all work EXCELLENT, but when I add a second WIFI MESH END USER the second user and beyond users can surf the net without credentials and login with different Subnet, ip, etc. even don't pass the end-user mac. So its difficult set bandwidth per IP or MAC "per end user".
In fact I monitor the leases and I notice the end user never reach the LOCAL DHCP SERVER, and if reached they are always "expired"
I been mod/writing these mesh firmwares using some additional programming skills (C++, perl, php, java, html and other additional programming languages) and I get additional features like CP bandwidth utilization per user, custom monitoring and other needs for my wisp, but due the kernel and RE-WRITING ERRORS I spend/waste a lot of time, so that's why I'm asking for mesh management solution for save time and have a SOCIAL LIFE
