### Neighbor Info
5647

57-
Neighbor Info is a large packet and should only be enabled on "infrastructure" nodes (Routers / Home base-stations). This is a great way to see who is around you on our mapping tools, but it is not recommended for mobile nodes or secondary indoor nodes.
48+
| Option | Recommended Config |
49+
| --------------------: | :----------------- |
50+
| Neighbor Info enabled | `False` |
5851

59-
Setting the interval too low will cause congestion on the mesh, leading to packet loss and dropped messages.
52+
Neighbor Info's functionality has been greatly limited in newer firmware versions. We recommend disabling it at this time.

### Callboost CFL915-S20
10+
11+
Much tighter than the Acasom eliminating almost all LTE interference, but at the cost of slightly higher insertion and reflected power loss.

Two units of this filter have been tested by our community:

38+
Sourced from eBay.

### Acasom LL915Mhz Cavity Filter
46+
47+
Fantastic insertion and return loss characteristics, but the pass band allows LTE to bleed in a bit.
