This is not possible sorry. There is no way to get the signal strength from user packets with the SDK functions.

Is it possible to increase deauth packets? Any advantage from increasing it?

Yes is possible but no won't give you any advantage.

What I noticed that is the clients which are far from the access point are not getting disconnected. Can you please explain why is that?

Because they probably don't get the deauth packets. This is a tiny >$2 chip you can't assume it has the same transmition power than a computers Wi-Fi card.

But I have found that transmit power of esp8266 is set to low to consume minimum current. Is it possible to increase transmit power using setOutputPower?

just try it out then.

How?

Where to define it?

After setting max TX power, the signal strength increased from -73 to -65
