Connected via USB and performed a config reset. Still going through reconfiguration, but at the moment, everything is working now.

Probably need to do the same for my solar node. But I want to finish an experiment running with it before I do that since it seems to be working on the mesh for now.

Replied in thread

I wrote a thread on meshtastic.

In short, it IS popular BUT is also an architectural nightmare, has extremely bad project leaders, and ALSO is a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen.

Steer clear of metastatic in the long run. Do not use either for truly privacy required applications. They all have tracking & fingerprinting issues.

Genuinely impressed with #meshtastic thus far. I've got a pair of ThinkNode M2s, and the antennas that come with them are literally bits of printed circuit board, and yet they've managed to get a surprising bit of range (maybe 300m) out of them with suboptimal placement and no special care.

I can see that with a real antenna and an elevated position they'd go quite well.
