I thought the whole point of the MESH, was that you could have multiple Borons, Argons and Xenons that creat a MESH of connectivity

That was my expectation also when I placed my pre-order.
The beauty of the Photon and others of the 2nd generation was the flexibility to be able to do almost anything imaginable.

I assumed it would be the same with Mesh. My imagination may have run wild, as I described a possible use case in this thread:

Automotive use cases for Mesh

First up, I want to say that I did not do any deep research into Mesh before signing up for the Particle Mesh pre-order. I just assumed that the great flexibility and capability of the 2nd generation devices would only improve with the 3rd generation. Now that we are all learning more about Mesh, I have some concerns whether it will fulfill my use cases. I suppose for this discussion, I am looking for thoughts on how to make it work and maybe to influence which capabilities Particle will focu…

I hope Particle gets to that point where it all gets worked out. I am also uncertain of the pricing structure; it may require careful though how I define my networks.
I can still foresee a lot of opportunity for ParticleMesh.

PS. I have total empathy for your kid; I completely understand. Good luck at engineering school.
