Hello,

We are currently using Wi-Fi Long Range (LR) mode to extend coverage in our mesh network based on the ESP32-C6. To improve robustness and performance, we are exploring the integration of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) features alongside LR mode.

Our current configuration is as follows:

ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_mode(WIFI_MODE_APSTA));
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_protocol(WIFI_IF_AP, WIFI_PROTOCOL_LR));
ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_set_protocol(WIFI_IF_STA, WIFI_PROTOCOL_LR));

Could you please advise if it is technically possible to enable both Wi-Fi LR mode and Wi-Fi 6 features simultaneously, or if not, whether this capability is planned for future support on the ESP32-C6 or any upcoming chips?

Any guidance on optimizing a hybrid or dynamic approach (e.g., switching between LR and Wi-Fi 6) would also be appreciated.

Thank you for your support.
