• you can solve the problem with a hardware change of the WIFI shield. This hardware change has been described in the OpenBCI forum

• The OpenBCI wonders store has an updated version of the WIFI shield:

• Try to negotiate with the wonders store, to get a denoised and power improved WIFI shield, but be aware that this shop has only a customer satisfaction of 75 %

• Eventually you can find an updated WIFI shield in another store on Aliexpress and Ebay
