Once you establish a connection, the connection information is cached. As the two devices move farther away, the connection protocol will check and resend lost TCP packets ... so the range can be much further than when trying to establish the first-connection.
The entire ESP8266 is designed from the silicon up through the firmware to be WiFi. If you are a super low-level software engineer, you may be in a position to reverse engineer the low-level chip drivers ... but, by your own admission, you are not at that level of software engineering.

My tests have shown that once i have a connection im able to communicate over longer distances than establishing a connection.
The logical conclusion is that the 802.11 connection protocal is harder to accomplish with faint reception.
