Are you sure that 5.5Mbps is good for *all* nodes? Try to set bad links
to lower rates to make it more stable or set it to higher rates to force
the use of another route.

In my mesh all nodes run at different rates. With autorate it was almost
unusable, even with LQ enabled I have lots of bad links. I tried to find
the optimal rate for each node, but without some bandwidth based routing
things are now getting more and more complicated... See my recent posts
about "LQ Routing and 802.11b Link Speed".
