Hi, in our setups we experience pure ANI operational in mesh mode
VS AP mode, after debuffing and digging in ANI code i find what ANI
in AP mode work in limited mode, i try this mode with mesh and seems
getting same good operation as in AP mode, i am not familiar with ANI
may be there is another better way to fix this issue?

changes what i made:
