How to Increase/Decrease the Wifi Range from software

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

Hi,

I want to increase the range of wifi in CC3200 LaunchPad? Can we increase it software?

Also,Please let me know what is the range of wifi in CC3200 Launchpad.

Thanks & Regards,

Shashank

  • Hi Shashank,

    You can set TX power by sl_WlanGet() and WLAN_GENERAL_PARAM_OPT_STA_TX_POWER and WLAN_GENERAL_PARAM_OPT_AP_TX_POWER option.

    Sensitivity and TX power can be also increased by connection external antenna with higher gain (one resistor need to be changed in antenna path on LaunchPad). It is hard to determine Wifi range because it depends on local condition, but I can say that is similar as other Wifi devices.
