Hello,
What are the parameters affecting the Thread network range other than the TX power?
I am using Micromod nRF52840 module, to test Matter Light Bulb and Matter Light Switch, but when I tried to control the light bulb by the light switch I found that the distance range between the two devices doesn't exceed 30cm and when it exceeds 30cm they lose the communication between each other and the border router, but when I tried to test the range as this blog post using Thread: CoAP Client and Thread: CoAP Server with the Micromod I found that the range was around 5m.
The TX power at the first case is 8dbm while the TX power at the second case is 0dbm, where this is confusing.
I expect that the more the TX power the more distance range.
Is there other parameters that I didn't consider in the Matter apps that may affect the network range?
Best regards,
Basem
