Hi all.
Can we have the mesh network without a wifi connection by setting a mesh id and a fixed root node knowing there is no STA as it would be replaced by a LORA driver? The mesh is great for “local wan” and comm exchange between nodes.I guess I could put a dummy Router without Internet access but would prefer not to do that. Lots of units, I mean a lot like 400 Roots with 12 nodes each.
Regards.

I'll answer myself since MDF Espressif does not have support for MDF.
Use another ESP32 or similar with a dummy softAP using examples/wifi/getting-started/softAp example.
Now its up top you to have root do whatever it is you need from messages to and from other nodes. Maybe you connect it to a Lora network or LTE or NOTHING with a network.

Apparently this https://github.com/espressif/esp-mdf/tr ... /no_router could be an alternative. Need to study it.
