Very interesting thread that reflects my experiences...

I can recommend ElegantOTA and AElegantOTA

These were the instructions I used...

I did notice different WiFi performance between two boards from different manufacturers. The removal of the white paint as described below did actually make a difference...

Check your SSID is visible? I have found the wifi performance of some boards is below par... #include "WiFi.h" void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); WiFi.disconnect(); delay(100); } void loop(){ Serial.println("Start scan"); int n = WiFi.scanNetworks(); if (n == 0) { Serial.printl...

I use c+/Arduino because of the wealth of examples and it appears one of the most widely used with plenty of support sites.

I found a big difference in Wi-fi performance between two "identical" boards which came from different sources.
I decided to investigate after reading this article:
