3. There are issues with the OpenBCI shield

“IMPORTANT NOTE: This product is in beta mode. The WiFi shield is known to have reliability issues (packet loss and cyclical noise spikes) when used with Cyton and CytonDaisy boards. Using it effectively requires advanced technical skills and programming knowledge. Please proceed at your own risk. OpenBCI cannot guarantee that the device will work with your configuration.»

Last issue resolving contributions where on 7 Nov 2019 and 27 Jan 2020 for the issues mentioned above. Will these issues be resolved? Maybe it is worth to test the WIFI shield. It is well documented and feature rich. And what are the alternatives? At least, the WIFI shield seems to be usable, or it should be possible to make it usable.
