Discover how to easily increase the range of your Meshtastic Nodes and the size of your mesh network. The current Meshtastic transmission record is 254km, but how did they achieve it?
Perhaps the most essential factor that will affect your range is the height of your antenna, Meshatastic uses LoRa technology, a 'Line of Sight' transmission protocol, so the higher you can get your aerial the better results you will see. If you cannot get your antenna above your roof line or must place it internally, the next best location if the tallest part of your lost / attic.
The next important consideration is to pick a quality antenna, the stock antennas that come with most devices are easily outperformed by other affordable options
The way you connect your antenna to the device is almost as equally important. By keeping the antenna cable as short as possible huge signal losses can be avoided, therefore it's recommended to keep the device as close as possible to the antenna by running a longer power lead instead. Also, ensure you never loop or cross your antenna cables to ensure the best signal and minimal interference
