Comment(by wad):

 Thanks for paying attention to the ticket!

 The intent of this ticket was just to ensure that schools using Wifi
 present the same user experience as school using mesh.  This means not
 going into simple mesh mode simply because a student didn't click on the
 school AP in their neighborhood view.

 I don't believe that leaving the mesh repeating active while connected to
 an AP will cause problems.  Comments ?

 1.) As long as it doesn't repeat broadcasts bleeding over from other
 channels due to close packing, low cost receive filters, and no channel
 based filtering...
