      Hi
      When I start the WiFi on my FiPy module in access point mode, the default mode is 802.11g/n which I found by scanning the network details with a PC. How can I change that?

      I can find this from https://github.com/pycom/pycom-esp-idf/blob/master/components/esp32/include/esp_wifi_types.h:

      #define WIFI_PROTOCOL_11B         1
      #define WIFI_PROTOCOL_11G         2
      #define WIFI_PROTOCOL_11N         4
      #define WIFI_PROTOCOL_LR          8
      

      Actually I want to set WIFI_PROTOCOL_LR as the protocol for WiFi. I need to enable the long range communication using WiFi. Now I am only getting about 20m range for WiFi using my FiPy module.

      I can only find this from the docs:
      wlan.init(mode, * , ssid=None, auth=None, channel=1, antenna=None, power_save=False)
      mode can be either WLAN.STA, WLAN.AP or WLAN.STA_AP.
