@RaptorSDS I'm in the same situation as described and am willing to solder another module found on AliExpress. In the joined photo you can see my board (there is a soldering pad for external module and already soldered circuit on board directy), so I'm thinking to get rid of all wifi segment components and directly solder one like this https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32767855218.html or https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32495116310.html whats do you think. if you have a datasheet of the S9012P it will be helpful for me to determine if its compatible with what im going to do.
