Surprisingly, driver-level power management can affect range. The Jieli BR21 chip has a Class 2 radio (10-meter theoretical). However, generic drivers may under-power the antenna to save energy. The extra quality driver often disables aggressive power-saving modes, stabilizing connections up to 15-20 meters in open air. jieli br21 driver extra quality
