Maybe I am thinking about this a little too much in Meshtastic/Meshcore terms, but I have
various devices using RNS over Lora - a cyberdeck, a ratdeck, etc. Now I'd like to put up
a solar powered RNode-based repeater station with an antenna to give me better range -
just like for MeshCore, right?
So I bought a solar powered device:
โข It's based on a Heltec v4
โข It's not supposed to be connected to anything, though it would be nice to be able to
remotely upgrade it to new firmware
โข It's mean to just site there and relay traffic
โข It has both a LoRa antenna and a wifi-antenna
How would you configure it?

There is a guide on this forum with exactly this. I'm on reticulum so i can't copy the
link correctly, but you can find it here: Forum / Build Guides / How to install and
test the RTNode firmware

RNodes on their own cannot be used as a repeater. They must be connected to a host
computer running reticulum which then can relay traffic through all their interfaces (be
it back through lora, the computer's backbone interfaces or whatever), since it has wifi
you can have the Rnode have a static ip address which you can then connect to by any
device you have, but to be a good transport node whatever device you have relaying the
traffic would have to be on all the time, though even a very old computer or raspberry pi
(as long as it could run some flavor of linux) would do the trick.
Alternatively you can follow this forum post as the guy above mentioned
https://directory.rns.recipes/forum/build-guides/how-to-install-and-test-the-rtnode-firmwa
re which then allows the heltec v4 to run by itself without needing any host computer

There is also the microReticulum Firmware, which works great. Just follow the
"Installation" and "Enabling Transport Mode" instructions in the readme.

OK, good to know - that's the part I was missing, I assumed it was a combination of
configuration options on the RNode software I had to get working. I will look into using
microReticulum, then - thanks!
