Abstract
A system and method of expanding the range of a mesh network by determining whether a route through a local Internet service provider is an optimal path between two nodes. If the route through a local Internet service provider is an optimal path, a routing table is updated to include the optimal path so that mesh nodes on the mesh network have access to the routing table.
