I bought a meshtastic node off aliexpress and it arrived yesterday, i configured the really really basic stuff, left it powered on in my room (with the stock atenna, on a shelf) and this morning i already had 30 nodes seen and 11 online. its configured to be a ROUTER_LATE ( because currently it’s position is not ideal and i do not want to be doing harm to the network ) i connected it to wifi and enabled mqtt and now im visible on meshmap, nice. i also ordered a new antenna so i’ll see how the performance on that is.
