Increase range and sensitivity nano rp2040 Connect

hello, i was using the wifi module on rp 2040 connect but figured out it has a sensitivity of -92 dbm which is very weak for my use case, especially that i use it to configure other cards via UDP, is there a way to improve it ? can you also modifiy the bandwidth alongside the transmission power ?

Hi @adjedjou.

Check for metal unnecessarily placed near the Wi-Fi antenna. This can block the radio signals. The antenna is the sheet metal thing on the end of the board opposite the USB socket.

You should also be careful to avoid damaging the antenna. Its position makes it a bit exposed to potentially damaging/distorting forces if the board isn't handled with care (e.g., pressing on the antenna while inserting or removing the board from a breadboard).
