ESP32-Wrover yields 0.5 - 2 Mbps #18

Hi, and congrats on your work, I find it super interesting!

I'm testing the prebuilt firmware in a Lolin D32 Pro (ESP32-Wrover) and I can't squeeze more than between 0.5 and 2 Mbps. How, and in what conditions, are you measuring your results? I tested both my cellphone and computer connected to the ESP, and just used different web services to measure the download speed. Are the prebuilt binaries optimized when compiled?

I also flashed your ESP8266 firmware in another board and got less than 0.5 Mbps.

Are you planning to merge other features already present in your ESP8266 firmware, like "lock" and "automesh"? That would be great.

Just a comment. I ( and others) have found some of the boards to be a bit mixed in terms of signal and performance. you may have a "bad " one. The speed of the net connection in speed tests have a number of factors. The hardware's ability to transfer the data, the receive device capability and the overall connection between the devices as well as interference, from other Wi-Fi and electrical devices.

Try a wifi analyzer/ monitor to scan the signals for both performance and interference. Don't forget to find a clear channel if possible; Signal below 20 SNR is going to be poor at best (anything over 75Dbi).

Try moving things into the same room and running the test.
