- Wed Aug 30, 2017 11:26 am #69575 I already use following setup for my measurements;

Code: Select allRF_PRE_INIT()
{
  if (PHY_MODE_11B != wifi_get_phy_mode())
  {
    wifi_set_phy_mode(PHY_MODE_11B);
  }
  wifi_set_user_fixed_rate(FIXED_RATE_MASK_ALL, PHY_RATE_6);
  wifi_set_user_sup_rate(RATE_11B1M, RATE_11B2M);
  wifi_set_user_rate_limit(RC_LIMIT_11B, 0x00, RATE_11B1M, RATE_11B2M);
  wifi_set_user_limit_rate_mask(LIMIT_RATE_MASK_ALL);

  system_phy_set_powerup_option(31);  // Do full RF calibration on power-up
  system_phy_set_max_tpw(82);         // Set max TX power
}

Code: Select allName            Speed    Indoor Range
Wireless AC      1 Gbps      115 Feet
Wireless N     300 Mbps      230 Feet
Wireless G      54 Mbps      125 Feet
Wireless B      11 Mbps      115 Feet

I found it on the Internet, so it must be true.

I read the datasheet of ESP8266 and B mode was good for range.
