wifi long range mode (MODE_LR) is not working

openby stanelieopened 2024-11-07updated 2026-03-24

Port, board and/or hardware

Waveshare ESP32-S3-ZERO

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.24.0 on 2024-10-25; Generic ESP32S3 module with ESP32S3

Reproduction

I have been unable to set the long range mode of wifi using micropython.
Either I can't read, or the documentation is lacking, or the feature does not work. Here is the code I tried :

import network

sta = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
sta.active(True)
sta.config(protocol=network.MODE_LR)

Expected behaviour

I expect this to set the LR mode that is available on Espressif devices.

Observed behaviour

Nothing changes, the mode is not set.
print(sta.config("protocol")) reports 8 or 1 when I use MODE_LR or MODE_11B respectively, but anything else throws a 'module' object has no attribute 'MODE_11G', for example. And the link quality does not change

ESP32-S3-WROOM-N8R2

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.24.1 on 2024-11-29; Generic ESP32S3 module with ESP32S3

Reproduction

from network import WLAN
sta = WLAN(0)
sta.active(1)
sta.connect('net', 'pass')
sta.ifconfig()

Expected behaviour

('192.168.1.100', '192.168.1.1', '0.0.0.0', '0.0.0.0')

Observed behaviour

I (47019) wifi:new:<6,0>, old:<6,0>, ap:<255,255>, sta:<6,0>, prof:1
I (47019) wifi:state: init -> auth (b0)
I (51319) wifi:state: auth -> init (200)
I (51319) wifi:new:<6,0>, old:<6,0>, ap:<255,255>, sta:<6,0>, prof:1
I (51319) wifi: STA_DISCONNECTED, reason:2:
I (53729) wifi: STA_DISCONNECTED, reason:205:

Additional Information

This a dual USB C board, I saw closed issues with this, txpower=17 did not work, tried both usb ports, no change. Tried WPA and no security on AP, no change. Other ESP32 and ESP32-S3 boards connect to AP fine. Almost decided to use ESP32 for project but some dumb ass decided to make the HSPI miso pin 12, which is a strapping pin.

Also tried all other 1.24.1 ports in the generic esp32-s3: 4mb flash and Support for Octal-SPIRAM. No errors were seen on any of the ports. This does usually fix WiFi issues. Am able to preform scan() properly. Probably similar to my issue #15602
