Hi,

NRF24L01 is not recommended for new designs, instead we recommend the drop in compatible NRF24L01+.

If you want this kind of range you must use a Power Amplifier and preferably high efficiency external antenna. This range is only possible for certain types of Line of Sight communication, and obstacles will deteriorate radio performance severely. The normal range of a 24L01+ is around 10-50m depending on the environment.

Buy some modules and try them out at the desired range.

Best regards,

Øyvind
