wireless bridges and mesh box connectivity
Do you really want to bridge, or just have the LAN use the mesh for an Internet connection? If the latter, you need to set the device (sounds like a PheeNet WAP11) to AP Client mode. Also make sure the ESSID is exactly the same as the mesh, including case and spaces (if you use any).

So far the only changes I have made are to the bridge specifying the Channel id, the ESSID (to match the ESSID of the mesh box) and that is to operate in Bridge mode. Other configurable settings I have kept as default
