I have several devices all updated with the latest firmware. I recently set up a new repeater, which appears to be functioning, but I can’t remotely access it from any device except one.

Furthermore, the device that can remotely access the repeater seems to be the only one that doesn’t receive direct messages from the other devices. It’s also the only device that can log the repeated messages.

However, the devices which can still communicate; are able to with each other over extended distances

Has anyone run into a similar issue(s)?

Thanks!

Has anyone tried using a directional antenna to get signal further out of city? With many urban areas having trouble with node placement, has anyone tried using an antenna to point towards an allowed repeater to send signal further? Especially in areas with flatter terrain like northern IN

Has anyone used any of the small drone antennas for an external Bluetooth antenna to increase ranges for OTA? I’ve heard some good things. Wondered if anyone else has tried
