Why does a Meshtastic Network need a repeater?
LoRa works over long distances in open areas, but obstacles can limit its range:

• Cities: Buildings block signals, reducing the range to a few hundred meters.
• Mountains and forests: Terrain and trees weaken signals, making communication unreliable.
• Open areas: If nodes are too far apart, messages may not go through

A repeater helps keep the network connected:

• Hilltops and rooftops: Placing a repeater higher improves signal coverage.
• Urban areas: A repeater on a tall building helps messages reach more nodes.
