New standalone build-guide page for prayingmedic's WisMesh Repeater Mini 1W (RAK 1W Booster Kit / RAK3401 in the Repeater Mini solar enclosure). Orphaned page (not in nav), reachable from the hardware page. Includes parts list, step-by-step no-solder build, polarity caution, antenna-before-power warning, firmware flash via rak3401-1watt UF2 DFU, configuration, EIRP math, and prayingmedic's field-test results. Six prepped photos added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the standalone config table with explicit direction to follow the How to Connect and Recommended Settings pages, keeping only the settings specific to this build (TX power, power saving, Bluetooth). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Point build questions at the dedicated Discord thread where prayingmedic answers questions, in the credit admonition and a new troubleshooting callout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Link the community Discord thread with the 3D-print files and guide for a magnetic pole mount. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What this adds
A new standalone build-guide page: WisMesh Repeater Mini 1W — a 1 watt (30 dBm) solar rooftop node that drops the RAK 1W Booster Kit (RAK3401) into the WisMesh Repeater Mini's solar enclosure. No soldering required.
This build was designed, photographed, and field-tested by community member prayingmedic — huge thanks to him! 🙏 The guide captures all of his build notes (5Ah battery upgrade, JST polarity caution, RP-SMA antenna pairing, printed mast brackets + battery spacer STLs, and his 5-day solar field-test results) plus technical details cross-checked against Atlavox's two RAK 1W videos (deep dive, power requirements) and the official Meshtastic docs (firmware target
rak3401-1watt/ "RAK3401 1W", verified against the device hardware registry).🔍 Preview
