South Australia Mesh

Welcome to the KernWi-Fi Mesh Portal

This customer-facing portal helps users connect to the South Australia mesh, view live network activity, explore packet visibility, and access the current network map.

Test Environment Notice: MeshCore South Australia Network is currently operating in a test environment. Features, content, and layout may continue to change as the platform is refined.

Getting Started

  1. Connect via Bluetooth
    Use your MeshCore companion app or compatible device to pair with your node.
  2. Set the South Australia radio profile
    923.125 MHz · BW 62.5 kHz · SF8 · CR8
  3. Advertise your node
    Broadcast your node so nearby repeaters and companions can hear it.
  4. Check “Heard N repeats”
    If the value is above zero, your node is being heard on the mesh.
