Hi there,

first of all "Kudos!" for such a nice project! Loving it!

I wonder if it would be possible to include support for the ESP32 WiFi Long Range Mode (https://blog.hackster.io/long-range-wifi-for-the-esp32-9429ab89f450) ? This way this project could be used as a "WiFi LR <-to-> WiFi" Bridge and LR devices (such as ESP32 based IoT sensors and devices) could be connected to a standard Home WiFi over massive distances. That would be really nice! Distances of 1-10km can be achieved with this mode.

The WiFi-Manager would run a SoftAP with LR Mode enabled and communicate to the other WiFi networks nearby in standard WiFi Mode.

Best regards and keep up the excellent work! Cheers! Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for the kind words. As you might have guessed with this very late response there's no plan for this now.
