You did mention you were using selection class 1. I was referring to your test
in which you turn on/off your best gateway. As I explained in my previous
mail: batman-adv does not switch the gateway once it has chosen a gateway
unless you select fast or late switching as selection class. Selection class 1
does not fall into this category which means a gateway reselection only
happens if the currently selected gateway disappears.
Run the foloowing test: enable both gateways before setting the gateway client
to selection class 1. The gateway announcing the higher bandwidth should be
selected.
Cheers,
Marek
