      Hello,

      In your advertisements, you say that the Wifi range is 1km. How do you achieve it ?

      Thanks,

      Nicolas

        Hello,

        This feature will be available in a future software update.

        Thanks for your patience,

              Ah thanks. I wondered if it might be about the WiPy 2.0, as folk have similar questions!

                Should also apply to wipy 2.0 since they use the same WiFi radio. There have been range tests done with esp8266 that showed ~1100m so should be possible with esp32, but is a "best case” type thing.

                  Do you mean it is a default feature of esp8266 and esp32 ?
                  If yes, probably it is at full power ? Which you cannot achieve in the reality in some countries due to regulations in these countries ?

                    Maybe, but I think esp32 is limited to <20dbm max and I doubt pycom was using a different setting for the range test than they did for FCC/CE testing. But anything is possible. 1km is max, not typical. So if you are not line of sight with low RF interference you won't achieve it.
