Tx Power Set not working

[ESP32_kid]

ESP32-C3-Zero

I used in Arduino IDE
esp_netif_init();
esp_wifi_set_max_tx_power(8);

I don't see power change on my Rx device.

Does this setting work on the C3?

The doco says that you need to call esp_wifi_init before setting the power level. If you are using the WiFi library, WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) will set the necessary state.

Wow, I somehow used the wrong init, i used netif.
Do you have a reference to the docs page?

I do also use WiFi.h, so are you saying WiFi.mode() initializes the wifi? I thought it was WiFi.softAP() ?

Anyways, I will adjust my code and try again. Thanks.

Edit: Yep, I moved the set power line after wifi softAP line, now I see power diff.
