user-guide.md gains a full My Repeaters section (adding repeaters, saved passwords + the wrong-password/unreachable ambiguity, path editing, and the six management tools) and fixes the stale Quick Access placement list (now 12 items, real labels). architecture.md documents the /api/repeaters/* endpoint family with its shared error mapping, the repeaters DB table, and a DeviceManager subsection on serialization, login sessions, CLI reply correlation, settings batches and the actions whitelist. whatsnew.md adds three New features bullets, a Reliability note (console login reports role), and Deploy notes (meshcore>=2.3.7 rebuild, plaintext password trade-off). rpt-mgmt.md now points to the built-in panel first.

# How to Manage Your Repeater
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** mc-webui now ships a built-in repeater administration panel — **My Repeaters** in the main menu — with status, telemetry, neighbours, a remote CLI, settings, and actions. See [My Repeaters in the user guide](user-guide.md#my-repeaters-repeater-administration). The DM-based method below still works and remains useful as a fallback.
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to manage a MeshCore repeater device directly from the mc-webui interface using Direct Messages.
