AR150 and hAP both flashed with firmware version 3.21.4.0 don't mesh at 5 MHz bandwidth. At 10MHz bandwidth yes.
Is there a way to make them mesh at 5 MHz Bandwidth ?

I have a couple hAPs, and two different GL-iNet nodes, but of course, not the AR150... So I could do a test, but not your specific GL hardware.
Especially:
"Generally, the lower SNR for the larger bandwith can still achieve higher thoughput
than half the bandwidth and higher SNR that cuts the max rate in half. "

I need both -2 and -1 channels and this forced me to work at 5MHz BW
Here is a comparison chart of the differences between the two. It's unfortunate that the Mikrotik hAP ac lite has that hardware issue, but the AR750 might be a good alternative for you.
A). if I have a 10MHz BW node at 2,397 MHz, for sure I can't use a 2,402 MHz 10MHz BW co-located node.
B) Here, in Italy, the regulations of part 97 and part 15 are a bit different than in the U.S.A.

For Chuck:
We don't have 900 and 3,400 MHz bands. We do have Channels on 5,765 and 5,835 MHz and also on 2,300 to 2,450 MHz for selected channels with restrictions and in ca-habitation with other services.
To build up my emergency network I can count on two frequencies at 5 GHz and two on 2,4GHz.
Of course, more frequencies/channels are better for an efficient mesh, but I must do with what I can count on.
Leo:
One 10 MHz bandwidth channel on 2397 and
two 20 MHz bandwidth channels on 2412 and 2437 MHz ( falls within 2,300 to 2,450 MHz )
= three channels on 2.4 GHz.
Note that channel '-1' sits on the lower band edge of the US channel '1' at 20 MHz bandwidth.
IOW, one half of the modulation falls withing the channel '1' 20 MHz band-space.
This may not be an issue in your country.
I hope this helps,
Chuck
In the table chart, you mention only one LAN port, but I see three RJ45 of that one is a WAN, I suppose.
So the LAN ports seem to be two. Is it possible to further expand the LAN ports with a dump switch?
https://github.com/aredn/aredn
for the AR750
- Left Port with internet globe icon: WAN (untagged)
- Middle Port with "<..>" icon: DtDLink (vlan 2)
- Right Port with "<..>" icon: LAN (untagged)
Yes, a dumb switch could be connected to the LAN port to extend the ports.Joe AE6XE
No. Not Slate.

I am building this image in my private builds as I type this -- working to upgrade to latest openwrt 21.02.1 release. If you have the AR750S-Ext device in hand, I am looking for hardware and individuals to test my images :) . Separately contact me at callsign at arrl dot net, if able and interested.
