1. A mesh network system, comprising:
a computing device configured to:
determine that a radio metric score pertaining to communication quality between a first node and a second node in a mesh network is above a predetermined threshold;
identify a third node operating in sleep mode, when the radio metric score is above the predetermined threshold; and
cause the third node to wake and connect to the mesh network, the third node is configured to relay communication between the first node and the second node.
