The Mesh page requires the ground role to be relay or receiver. On a direct ground station the sidebar entry is hidden and the URL renders the “Not available on this profile” panel.

Troubleshooting

The node sees no peers. Confirm the second USB adapter is plugged in (Peripherals page), the role-specific systemd unit is running (Diagnostics page), and the other mesh nodes are powered.
Gateway election ran multiple times in a short window. Usually a sign of intermittent link quality. The Sources page (receiver role) shows per-relay FEC stats that often correlate.
