MeshCore Repeater Deployment: Timing Considerations for Wide-Area Networks
MeshCore repeaters are showing up everywhere these days and I am thrilled to see it happen. As folks place these repeater nodes on high-rise rooftops, hillsides, and on ham and commercial towers, they’re discovering that the key to smooth wide-area repeater behavior isn’t just about height or terrain—it sometimes comes…
MeshCore Trace Path: How to Map, Test, and Understand Your Network
The MeshCore Trace Path tool is one of many useful diagnostic features built into the MeshCore client. Similar to how the traceroute utility provides insight into TCP/IP networks, MeshCore Trace Path gives you visibility into how packets travel through the mesh network—whether you’re checking a single station or tracing a…
