Consider a different role when:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Router</strong> — You have a node in a fixed, elevated location with reliable power (rooftop, hilltop). Routers stay awake continuously to relay messages for others and are essential for extending mesh coverage. Dont use Router on battery-powered handheld devices.</li> <li><strong>Router Late</strong> — An infrastructure node that always rebroadcasts packets once but only after all other routing modes have had their turn. Provides supplemental coverage for local clusters without competing with primary routers.</li> <li><strong>Client Base</strong> — Treats traffic from/to your favorited nodes with Router Late priority (ensuring those messages get extra relay coverage) while handling everything else as a normal Client.</li> <li><strong>Client Mute</strong> — You want to receive mesh traffic but not contribute to relaying. Useful for monitoring-only devices or to reduce congestion in dense areas.</li> <li><strong>Tracker</strong> — An unattended device whose sole purpose is broadcasting its GPS position (e.g., a vehicle, pet, or asset). Sleeps between broadcasts to conserve battery.</li> <li><strong>Sensor</strong> — An unattended device reporting environmental telemetry (temperature, humidity, air quality). Similar power profile to Tracker.</li> <li><strong>TAK / TAK Tracker</strong> — Only needed if interoperating with ATAK/WinTAK systems. See <a href="tak">TAK Integration</a> for details.</li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>💡 <strong>Tip:</strong> The mesh works best when most nodes are <strong>Client</strong> or <strong>Router</strong>. Too many Mute nodes reduces mesh resilience; too many Routers in a dense area can cause congestion. A good rule of thumb: one Router per 510 Clients in your area.</p> </blockquote> <h3 id="encryption-indicators"> <a href="#encryption-indicators" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="encryption-indicators"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Encryption Indicators </h3> <p>Nodes display encryption status icons next to their name:</p> <div class="table-wrapper"><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Icon</th> <th>Meaning</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>🔒 Locked</td> <td>Communication uses PKI (public key infrastructure) — end-to-end encrypted with verified identity</td> </tr> <tr> <td>🔓 Unlocked</td> <td>Communication uses shared channel PSK — encrypted but identity not individually verified</td> </tr> <tr> <td>⚠️ Mismatch</td> <td>Public key mismatch — the nodes key has changed since last seen (investigate before trusting)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div> <blockquote> <p>💡 <strong>Tip:</strong> PKI encryption (firmware 2.5+) provides stronger security than channel PSK because each node has a unique key pair.
