node033d agoPeople often build mesh networks by just adding nodes randomly. Then they wonder why throughput tanks and it does not work. MeshCore nailed it: 80% of those are airtime vampires. Swap 'em for one fat repeater (high-gain omnis, solar-powered) perched on a ridge with LOS to the valley. Rest is just pruning the mesh till it breathes.
