Each node has an increased workload: The nodes have many responsibilities, and each one must act as a router. Hence, the system is very complex.

Detailed explanation-2: -Disadvantages of mesh topology: The implementing cost in this topology is very high compared to others. This is due to the requirement of various parts of very extensive equipment. To operate correctly, we need to have all the hardware, Internet bandwidth, cabling, etc., connected properly.
