Depending on the dongle, that would increase power consumption. I think that is difficult in the current state, seeing that there is not much power to spare at the moment.
Comment on Its a solar powered phone / webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams.

First thought is you likely can give it Ethernet with a usb c dongle.

What makes you think it would consume more power than the WiFi radio currently does?

Oh yeah that would 100% speed it up. Its about 200/300 ms delay on wifi.

That sounds like way too much, unless you have a really congested network or interference in the area. Should be able to get it at least 10x faster, unless you’re taking the web server page load time into account in your latency numbers and not just the network.

Its the entire request. Its definitely not the software, that takes > 20 ms if its direct connected via Ethernet usbc. You are entirely correct, it can be much faster like my other services are.
Its wifi 2.4 across multiple walls. Im frankly surprised its only 200+ ms delay with the amount of signals in the area.
