A multi-hop mesh is a special case of the single-hop and is configured by configuring a pair of single hop networks.

As seen in the diagram below, SSID1 and SSID2 will be the two SSIDs we would need, one for each hop. The first SSID is setup as a base-client on the first hop set of APs. the second SSID is setup as a base on the middle APs, and as a client on the 2nd hop of access points:

@firefly sorry to ask, I am looking to setup the multi-hop as this one but also, for example if AP4 cannot connect to AP2 and cannot connect to AP3 but can see AP5 or AP6 can it connect to that?
