We were with several other groups and had no internet, but needed to communicate through text. Briar filled the gap with its ability to communicate internetlessly through a local network (as long as the others are on the same network). Creating a hotspot with one phone and connecting the others makes a wlan with your group inside. Could you tell me what Iβm missing from my explanations? Iβd be happy to elaborate further if I knew.
I donβt have any real experience with Briar, so I wanted to learn more. How far were able to spread apart and it still worked? How many of you were a part of the group?
We were only 4 and stayed pretty close together, but there were a bunch of people around, so we needed text communication. My phone can only handle 5 connected devices throughout about a 250ft unhindered radius (100ft realistically), but if you had a real wifi network, you could add a lot more people and spread out much further.
E: we did have a member drop off several times because he was beyond the threshold, but he automatically reconnected when he got close enough.
