You are lucky. You have two devices that can hear you, and you can hear them directly.

Unfortunately, our router went down due to some wind or something and took the mesh with it since it was the highest node in the area.

The mesh here where I live isn't big enough yet to have multiple connections without it unfortunately.

So now I am all alone. I know it will be fixed, so I'm not upset about it or anything. It's just kind of sad to see no other nodes available to me, where I had six to ten before.
