## Roles
Leave your [ROLE](/docs/configuration/radio/device#role) set to `CLIENT` unless you're sure another role would suit the node's purpose. All `CLIENT` nodes will "repeat" and "route" packets. Roles are for very specific applications so please [read the documentation](/docs/configuration/radio/device#role) before changing your node's role.
:::info
Users report that the current implementation of the `ROUTER` role with bluetooth switched off causes instability. If you would like the functionality associated with this role, it is recommended you choose `ROUTER_CLIENT` until a firmware fix is issued.
:::
## (Not) Sharing Your Location
Telemetry is shared over your [PRIMARY channel](/docs/configuration/radio/channels#role). This means that if your node has acquired GPS coordinates from an integrated GPS chip, or from your mobile device, your coordinates will be sent to the mesh over this channel, using it's defined encryption (if any).

3. Enable a SECONDARY channel with a blank name (will default to LongFast) with PSK "AQ==".
4. Since the radio's frequency is automatically changed based on your PRIMARY channel's name, you will have to manually set it back to your region's default (in LoRa settings) in order to interface with users on the default channel:

## Best Practices
- If you are part of a large mesh and don't know what a setting does, don't change it (unless you're super curious).
- Leave your [MAX HOPS](/docs/configuration/radio/lora#max-hops) set to 3 unless you're sure you need more (or less) to reach your destination node.
- Leave your [ROLE](/docs/configuration/radio/device#role) set to `CLIENT` unless you're sure another role would suit the node's purpose. For example, MQTT nodes do not need to be set to `ROUTER`.
- TEST your settings and hardware before you install in hard-to-reach locations.
- Connecting a node to the [public MQTT server](http://localhost:3000/docs/configuration/module/mqtt#connect-to-the-default-public-server) may publish the locations of all nodes in your mesh to the internet. This will also add every globally connected node to your node database and potentially flood your mesh with all types of packets.
