Something is very wrong with the WiFi on the ESP32 boards I ordered from AliExpress. Is there any way to salvage these and fix the WiFi?

Thanks for the tip @LoreNG! That sounds very promising. I’ll try cutting a USB cable and wiring it directly to VIN and GND.

Maybe this bypasses the USB-C chip and allows the ESP32 to draw more current to produce a stronger signal.
