Meshtastic Settings for New Zealand

These are the default settings for New Zealand however some regions have variations to these to support a larger number of active nodes.

Region: Australia/New Zealand (ANZ)
Frequency: 915Mhz
Preset: Long Fast
Frequency slot: 20
Device role: CLIENT or CLIENT_MUTE (unless you know what you're doing)
Hop count: 3 (higher values can cause overloading)

Auckland, Waikato and Wellington

For Auckland, Waikato and Wellington users please use Short Fast 16 (SF16):

Preset: Short Fast
Frequency slot: 16

Like Wellington, Auckland was suffering with poor performance due to a high number of nodes. Testing in early Jan 2025 has meant half of the Auckland and Waikato nodes have now transitioned to SF16.
