Meshtastic Firmware 2.3.15.deb7c27 Beta

Important

Regarding deprecation of ROUTER_CLIENT role:
This role was deprecated because it's frequent misuse in non-strategically placed roles, leading to increased rebroadcast packet collisions as well as premature hop consumption decreasing the effective range of a mesh. In some larger public meshes, it has been reported that almost half of the nodes were configured as ROUTER_CLIENT and ROUTER. Going forward, the mixed ROUTER_CLIENT role will be retired and simply behave as the CLIENT role.

Alternatively, users can decide to use the ROUTER role if their node does indeed fall into the strategically placed criteria, such as on top of a mountain, skyscraper, or any other location with a significant line of sight viewshed advantage. Examples of non-strategically placed nodes would be any mobile node, a car node, a home node on a mast, or really any node without significant elevation difference providing advantage to the mesh's reach. Nodes under those placement conditions should not be configured as ROUTER or REPEATER role.
