#### Important update as of August, 2024
Meshtastic has [made a change to their MQTT server](https://meshtastic.org/blog/recent-public-mqtt-broker-changes/):
> Only position packets with imprecise location information [10-16 bits] will be passed to the topic, ensuring that sensitive data is not exposed.
#### To enable MQTT reporting
- Enable the MQTT module, using all default settings, possibly with a custom root topic
- View nodes around your area on the map to find MQTT topics being used
- Configure your node to connect to wifi or otherwise connect to the internet
