Hello All,

Is it possible to regulate output power on the rtl8720dn module,possibly through AT commnads? looking through the listed AT commands reference in docs , do not see such an item.

Thank You

WiFi output power can only be adjusted through code API, this is not available through AT commands

Hi wyy,

Are there any tutorials on how to regulate the wifi output power on the rtl8720dn ?  
Reason asking. Am still working on drone wifi repeater and have some ideas on using it as a ‘locator’ in case the drone does a fly away. Has happened to me,in the past so voice of experience talking here. 🙂

You have to use the WiFi related API found in `wlan_conf.h` to wifi power management
