CONFIG_ESP32_WIFI_STATIC_RX_BUFFER_NUM

Max number of WiFi static RX buffers

Type: int

Help

Set the number of WiFi static RX buffers. Each buffer takes approximately
1.6KB of RAM. The static rx buffers are allocated when esp_wifi_init is
called, they are not freed until esp_wifi_deinit is called.

WiFi hardware use these buffers to receive all 802.11 frames. A higher
number may allow higher throughput but increases memory use.
If ESP32_WIFI_AMPDU_RX_ENABLED is enabled, this value is recommended to
set equal or bigger than ESP32_WIFI_RX_BA_WIN in order to achieve better
throughput and compatibility with both stations and APs.
