Forwarder doesnt appear to like intermediary devices #160

Closed Josh-SMU closed 1 year ago

Scenario:

User1 has personal meshtastic device User2 has personal meshtastic device Router1 is another meshtastic device All are on the same firmware and channel settings Router1 is deployed halfway between User1 and User2 who are just barely out of range by themselves Router1 is within range of both User1 and user2

Expected result: Router1 should relay messages between User1 and User2

Actual result: User1 and User2 cannot communicate

Can you validate that Meshtastic chat messages go through with this configuration? The plugin should be setting the hopLimit on messages to 3 by default.

Sorry, I should have updated this issue. It appears the problem is with Meshtastic itself and likely not with the Forwarder at all: https://github.com/paulmandal/atak-forwarder/issues/160

I will close this issue, and if the aforementioned issue is resolved but the functionality is still not working I will open a new issue here.
