@pdxlocations Hi there, the firmware PR was just merged into |
| The `CLIENT_MUTE` role is similar to the `CLIENT` role but with one key difference: it does not repeat or route messages. This role is ideal for devices that are intended to be used in areas with high network traffic where additional message routing could cause congestion. By using the `CLIENT_MUTE` role, you can ensure that the device will only send and receive its own messages without contributing to network traffic. | ||

| This role is also highly recommended if you are a mesh enthusiast with multiple devices. Select one of your devices to be a `CLIENT` and set the rest to `CLIENT_MUTE` to keep your airtime usage more responsible. | ||

Not sure about this. Whether we should be updating a blog post that is as old as this one. I suppose it makes sense in terms of search optimization, but also feels a little wrong.
Let's add some sort of "updated on" verbiage because the post itself will not show that it's been updated/edited.

I think a good blog post like this should be pulled into the main documentation set. Not sure where it would go.

Not necessary, it's linked and available in the search.
