1. A method for use in a mesh access point (MAP) that is a mesh gateway of a mesh wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
on a condition that a trigger event is detected, transmitting, to a second mesh access point (MAP), a message indicating a trigger event is detected;
establishing an AP to station (STA) mode connection with the second MAP;
transmitting, to the second MAP using the AP to STA mode connection, a mesh announcement message including an indication that the mesh gateway is a replacement mesh gateway;
receiving, from the second MAP using the AP to STA mode connection, configuration information associated with the mesh WLAN; and
establishing a mesh mode connection with the second MAP using the configuration information.
