| `ROUTER` | Router - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node. The assumption is that Router-type devices will be placed in locations with a height/range/antenna advantage, and therefore have better overall coverage. This node will not be used by client apps. The BLE/Wi-Fi radios and the OLED screen will be put to sleep. Please note: Due to the preferred routing, this role may cause higher power usage due to more frequent transmission. | | `ROUTER` | Router - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node.

| `REPEATER`[^1] | Repeater - Mesh packets will be rebroadcast by this device without showing the device as part of the mesh network. This role is useful for a cleaner mesh setup where users do not need information about the Repeater node, or to prevent direct messaging to an unmonitored Repeater. Channel and modem settings must be identical to the mesh network being repeated. Please see Rebroadcast Mode for additional settings specific to this role.[^1] | | `REPEATER`[^1] | Repeater - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node. This role eliminates unnecessary overhead such as NodeInfo, DeviceTelemetry, and any other mesh packet, resulting in the device not appearing as part of the network. As such, direct messaging this node is not available, as it will not appear in your nodes list which results in a cleaner mesh network. Channel and modem settings of the mesh packets being repeated must be identical to the repeater's configuration. Please see Rebroadcast Mode for additional settings specific to this role.[^1] |
| `TRACKER`[^1] | Tracker - For use with devices intended as a GPS tracker. Position packets sent from this device will be higher priority, with position broadcasting every two minutes. Smart Position Broadcast will default to off.[^1] | | `TRACKER`[^1] | Tracker - For use with devices intended as a GPS tracker.
