| * Frequency 0 | ||
| * Client | ||
| * Client Mute - Default reccomendation for all handheld units. It will not relay messages | ||
| * Client - Its ok to use, especially when there are few other nodes around. This will relay messages. | ||
| * Client Router / Router - Use router ONLY if you have a powerful and permanently installed node that can see a large amount of area. | ||
| * If you want to be internet connected, see [MQTT](MQTT) | ||
| ## Getting started in 5 easy steps | ||
| - Get a supported device ( our [reccomendation]({{< ref "recommended-hardware" >}}) ) | ||

| - Connect to the node via serial or bluetooth to your phone or computer | ||
| - Follow the [reccomended settings]({{< ref "recommended-settings" >}}) | ||
