Crating an Ad-hoc mesh network for around 5 raspberry pi3 model B's for part of my dissertation.
So far i have managed to set up two in Ad-Hoc mode, been able to ping each other and TCP a simple message through listening ports from one pi to another using netcat.
My problem is that on rebooting the pi, my mode turns back to 'Managed' this is not a huge problem, as i just use;
Sudo iwlist wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc //which changes the mode back
However, this then changes my essid to "off/any"
This is only the beginning stages of the project, i just need it so that once all the pis are configures they stay in Ad-Hoc mode
(should be noted that during initial setup the pis were given static ip addresses for wireless connection)
Any advice would greatly be appreciated, sorry if it seems i have made some silly mistakes i do not have a computing background, more related to broadcasting.
Thanks.
