@Susan Hernandez yeah 2-3km in suburban is honestly pretty comfortable for this module — that's well within the ground-to-ground spec of 5km which is already measured with real-world obstructions in mind, not in an anechoic chamber. The 50km figure is drone-to-drone where you've eliminated ground reflections and obstacles entirely, so don't use that as your reference point for your use case.
The bigger variable in your setup is going to be antenna placement and height more than the RF noise from WiFi/BLE neighbors. The module handles receiver sensitivity really well, and suburban 2.4GHz congestion is annoying but not a dealbreaker at this range — the main thing that'll hurt you is if both nodes are sitting at ground level with houses directly in the path. Even getting them up a meter or two on a pole or rooftop mount makes a significant difference. If you can get line-of-sight or near-line-of-sight at any height, 2-3km is going to feel effortless.
