The ESP32 is 802.11n over 2.4ghz with no MIMO, so the bandwidth will always be bad.

They're popular in battery powered IOT type devices where BW is not a huge concern.

If you want bandwidth on an ESP32z you've chosen the wrong hardware in all senses.

If you were referring to the intricacies of the driver and how it might apply elsewhere, that's fair.
