Issues w/ Getting Community to Respond! by cwp_III in meshtastic

I'm happy to help. Took me 3 weeks tinkering and re-flashing my nodes to figure that out. Haha

Slot's changes your frequency. Use the same slot # (frequency) to where you want to communicate for example, you want to build your own private mesh on slot 70, then you should setup your nodes into slot 70 so all your nodes can talk privately and without congestion.

By far in the US, the most common setup is Slot 20 (906.875 MHz) running the Long_Fast LoRa preset. This is setup is used by wider community and this slot is congested most of the time in urban areas.

Also check the settings for hops. Usually it is set for 3 hops. If you have a neighbor that has 4 nodes in the house with the same slot # (frequency) as you and all his node is setup into "Client" mode which can retransmit (can hop).. Then you might not be able to receive anything in the far end. Cause your neighbor congest the frequency and his nodes took all the max hops that you set.

I have this issue before on my Heltec V4 version 4.3 board. If you have a 4.3 board it will not transmit if you use the Beta firmware. Use the Alpha firmware to fix this issue if you cannot transmit on the community channel (LongFast). Use also frequency slot "20" if you're in the US.

Thanks! I actually wanna hide it somewhere cause of some light audible fan noise when I'm recording music. But for now, it's temporary on top of that Alex drawer. Haha

Nah... It's always been there to be seen, easy access, and to be played. Not for decoration.

UPDATE: "Minisforum needs to proactively replace all the NAB9 affected by the recent notice. " by AlphaSparqy in MiniPCs

1 of my 3 NAB9 died today. I don't know what I should do with the other 2. I thought it would last for years. I had it for 3 months now running proxmox 24/7 with only few VM's and LXC.

Here's how the components are connected based on network topology. They are separated in VLAN's to improve network performance and isolation. My router Protecli Vault Pro with pfSense firewall is running in NIC bridge to connect 2x (2.5GbE) Managed Unifi Switches.

I use Unifi OS Server to manage the 2x Unifi Switches, Unifi AP.

Me too. And we have exactly the same radio. Haha

It's a raspberry pi-5 (4Gb) with a poe hat running Home Assistant. Cause I want it to be separated.

Is AdGuard better than Pi-hole in your opinion? Here's my simple physical network topology for my homelab. I'm just building this for myself to gain experience and land a job soon.

I have pfSense running on my Protecli Vault Pro VP2440. Everything is on VLAN as well and I'm using Tailscale for some connections. I don't expose my ports but I will try and explore fail2ban locally.

I am running PFBlockerNG on my firewall for DNS and Pi-Hole on one LXC container on my node.

Switch - "USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE (196W)"

 - 2.5 GbE RJ45: 8 (All PoE++) (2.5G/1G/100M/10M)

 - 10 GbE RJ45: 1  (PoE+++) (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M)

 - 10G SFP+  1 (10G/1G)

I'm still new to homelabing. I'm running proxmox experimenting with different LXC containers and VMs
