802.11 mode - B, G, N - can it be changed? etc #3

I really like this kind of project, very inventive and interesting good job happytm!

So in terms of optimisation, have you tried this using difference 802.11 modes? I was under the impression that mode B is better for longer range. Also is the range of a probe req limited by any time-out in the stack? (Ack-Timeout)? I think you are actually on to something very interesting here -- my suggestion is to give it a name (similar to ESP-Now, WIFI-Direct etc) Im keen to build my own hardware and get testing for a decent range and also to make a very simple hand-held remote controller.
