 // When the primary bridge loses Internet connectivity, nodes automatically
 // hold an election to select a new bridge based on router signal strength.
 //
+// EXTERNAL DEVICE CONNECTIONS FOR DEBUGGING:
+// -------------------------------------------
+// You can connect phones, computers, or test devices to the mesh network
+// for debugging purposes. The bridge node broadcasts the mesh SSID as a
+// WiFi Access Point.
+//
+// Connection details:
+// - SSID: "FishFarmMesh" (or your MESH_PREFIX value)
+// - Password: "securepass" (or your MESH_PASSWORD value)
+// - IP Range: 10.x.x.x/24 (automatically assigned via DHCP)
+// - Gateway: 10.x.x.1 (the bridge node itself)
+//
+// Important notes:
+// 1. ESP32 supports up to 10 concurrent AP connections (ESP8266: 4)
+// 2. Each mesh node connection uses one slot, leaving fewer for external devices
+// 3. After boot, wait 5-10 seconds for the AP to fully initialize
+// 4. If you can't connect, try these troubleshooting steps:
+//    - Check serial output for "AP configured" message
+//    - Verify the channel matches (bridge auto-detects router's channel)
+//    - Forget the network on your device and reconnect
+//    - Check for WiFi channel conflicts with other networks
+// 5. External devices get DHCP but have no internet routing by default
+//    (they can only communicate with the mesh network itself)
+//
 // IMPORTANT - UNDERSTANDING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY:
 // ================================================
 // The mesh.hasInternetConnection() method checks if a GATEWAY (bridge) node

This Alteriom fork includes additional packages for sensor data (SensorPackage), device commands (CommandPackage), and status monitoring (StatusPackage). It handles routing and network management automatically, so you can focus on your application. The library uses JSON-based messaging and syncs time across all nodes, making it ideal for coordinated behaviour like synchronized light displays or sensor networks reporting to a central node.",
