Question on mesh "wireless debug" (esp now) -- do i need to be connected to wifi router?
If my mesh spans far from wifi router, can I still sniff packets when I take my wrover-sniffer board far away from router, and close to the edge of the mesh?

I am seeing failures at the edge of the mesh.

Use wifi_config to configure the channel, not the router.
Replace wifi_config -s "esp-liyin" -p "password" with wifi_config -c 11
