The largest antenna supported by an ESP8266 is typically around 3.5 cm in length.

Hardware-wise, there are no strict limits preventing you from using a D1 mini board with an ESP8266 and a 14dbi antenna drawing 100W. The main concern is power handling and compatibility, not raw wattage capacity.
I aim to clarify your needs. Do you require an onm directional antenna?
I’d like to send a signal or something across a distance, like 200 meters. Just wanting to test how far the chip can go.
Is it required to be directional? Should the antennas face a specific path? There are many directional Wi-Fi antennas, but they need a clear line of sight and must stay fixed. Other wireless technologies offer greater range, though they usually require FCC approvals.
Yes, an all-directional option would be better. The ends won't shift.
You're not getting a stable Wi-Fi signal in your directional setup, and it's affected by the 200-meter FCC restrictions during meetings.
We are discussing the kind of information you wish to transmit. There exist alternative wireless options designed for extended coverage. Or consider a direct connection between two points if you need to exchange data between specific locations.
