Proposed is a network node () for a mesh network (). The network node comprises a processing unit () adapted to determine an indicator of reliability of the network node. The network node also comprise a control unit () adapted to configure the network node to operate in either a router configuration or an end-node configuration based on the determined indicator of reliability of the network node. The network node may thus adapt its configuration based on its reliability.
