Bought a sensecap T1000 E and I can see nodes, receive messages, but all messages I send end up looking undelivered with a Max Retransmission Reached notice. What does it mean?

Client mode not only transmits packets for you, but when it receives packets from other nodes, it will retransmit them.

Client Mute does not retransmit packets from other nodes.

Say you have a solar power node up 30 feet on a flagpole outside your house, and you have several nodes inside your house for yourself, your spouse, and your kids or parents. Those nodes should be in client mute mode so that they don't retransmit packets because the solar node up 30 feet on the mast would do a better job of that.
