How do I keep my RAK #meshtastic from going into sleep mode? It's configured as a router and power saving is off. I don't know what more I can do here...

It's supposed to be a router. I wasn't it listening at all times and I don't give a hoot how much power it uses. No packets left behind!

How is it powered?

Solar and battery?

A 5VDC power source and a battery.

I just started, so my experience is limited to knowing the power draw is too low for USB battery bank to keep it on.

But looking at the device config, I'm wondering if you lower the Nodeinfo broadcast interval, it might wake/check more frequently?

Maybe. I've ordered a nice power meter that can track power consumption over time to give me the ground truth on power usage. Then I can make changes and have confidence in any power differences I see.
