1. A computer-implemented method for establishing a backhaul communication among nodes in a mesh wireless network, the method comprising:

  • performing an attempt to utilize a first channel in a default frequency band as a backhaul with second node in the network, wherein the backhaul is to provide communication of management functions between the nodes in the network, as opposed to a front haul that provides wireless data communication to clients in the network; and

    upon detecting that a received signal strength of the first channel from the second node is below a threshold, performing an attempt to utilize a different channel in the default frequency band and/or a channel in a different frequency band that has a lower frequency range than the default frequency band, to establish the backhaul with the second node,wherein, in any of said attempts, channels in a given frequency band are prioritized based on a corresponding received signal strength.
