In this paper, we evaluate the performance of WMN-GA system for different settings of number of mesh clients. We consider Weibull and Exponential distribution of mesh clients, which represent hotspot scenarios. The population size is considered 64 and the number of generation 400. For evaluation, we consider average size of giant component(Avg. SGC) and average number of covered mesh clients(Avg. NCMC) metrics. The simulation results shows that for both distributions, with the increase of the number of mesh routers, the number of covered mesh clients is increased. However, with the increase of the number of mesh clients, the percentage of Avg. NCMC is almost the same. Comparing the simulation results for both Exponential and Weibull distributions, in general the performance of both distributions is almost the same, but in some cases Exponential distribution performs better.
