Its a great board- But....

Its a great board, but I think the WiFi location is a bad design. It should have used an ESP with an external antenna option. The design has the wifi module and antenna under the main PCB and it weakens the signal a lot. I had a reSpeaker in the same enclosure and it never dropped WiFi, but this PCB drops all the time and won't even connect 1/2 the time.If I take the PCB out of the enclosure and point the ESP up, it works well...

Great feedback here Scott. We'll absolutely look into this for future revisions. Have you been able to load debug mode and check your Wifi Signal strength? Thanks!
