I am using ESP8266 SMING framework.

I would like to adjust the signal strength of the soft-ap. Are there any APIs to do this?

Reviewing the Espressif sdk yields no such option for the AP mode. It seems like you are out of luck.

I think you'll find that you can do that with

WiFi.setOutputPower(20.5);  // set highest WiFi power

I'm using the Arduino API.
Using the (free) Android wifi analyzer app

I observed an increase in signal strength
