Yep, been playing around with #Meshtastic the last couple of days 
Discussion
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.
Ah yes, time to put more nodes up running in router mode ;)
It's a hint that you should do it :))
You should only use router mode if it's going to be on an extremely high tower or on a mountain. Otherwise, use client. Clients still repeat data, but they only do so after routers have already done so.
Also, with channel utilization that high, it might be time to consider moving to a faster preset like ShortFast before the mesh starts melting down
What is the difference between all the modern presets?
It's the time each transmission spins on air. With the default long fast, a 230 character message spins two seconds being transmitted.
If you are in a vehicle, for example, another vehicle could go in between you or a building could come in between you, etc. And the transmission could be broken.
By using faster presets, your node spends less time transmitting, which is less time that interference can occur.
So it is the baudrate then?
Yes. On long fast, the transmission speed is 1.09 kbps. On short fast, the transmission speed is about 10 kbps.
A message that spends two seconds being transmitted on long fast takes a quarter second on short fast, for example.
Any tradeoffs to all he higher baudrate?
Power consumption?
Actually, power consumption should be lower because of the fact that the transmitter is not turned on for as long.
The main trade-off you will see would be shorter propagation distance.
In an urban environment, that's not going to matter that much. But in a rural setting, it might matter.
Blurg. I see 40+ nodes on the regular, and plenty of chatter, but can't send.
