In a wireless multi-hop network including a plurality of multi-radio meshed nodes, a method is provided for a particular recipient multi-radio meshed node to optimize a route to an intelligent access point (IAP). Each of the multi-radio meshed nodes include a plurality of radio modules, and each radio module comprises an interface. Each of the radio modules in each of the multi-radio meshed nodes transmit a HELLO message over-the-air (OTA). Each HELLO message transmitted by each of the radio modules comprises: a source node MAC address field which specifies a first MAC address of the multi-radio meshed node, and a source interface MAC address field associated with a particular radio module of the multi-radio meshed node and which specifies an interface MAC address of the radio module.
