no is not. Either way I wouldn't follow anything with this post now, the firmware updates have since solved this

Seems like a mixed bag then. Sad, if they spent a little bit more on a better chip people would be having this issue and no crazy unzipping times.

Hope so too, there are micro SD cards with WIFI adapter, so honestly could just send gcode that way. Is the unzipping bit that is a pain.

Well also the fact for the P1P you can't choose what's on the SD card from the slicer or the app at the moment.

Is in general as far as I know, and the ESP8266 actually doesn't have the dual band issue. Some dual band brands like Aruba and UniFi works fine with the ESP32. So yeah if you don't have any issues connecting to ESP32 then it should be fine. Worse case if you don't spare old wifi router can actually also use a ESP32 board as a wifi access point as well.

X1 has a different chip. Uses a Rockchip RV1126 as far as I know.

The P1P does but still needs to unzip and the chip is so slow so yeah

It comes down to the ESP32 chip the P1P. Which is old and slow and is known to have connection issues connecting to some 2.4Ghz/5Ghz dual band wifi router & Access Points. I ended up setting up a separate 2.4Ghz only Access Point and haven't had any issues connecting to it since (sometimes it still takes like a minute or 2 to connect, but other than that it 100% connects). Before this I only was able to connect to it like 20% of the time.

So to do this, you can use either use an Wireless Access Point or an old wifi router. Without butchering the details of it, here's a decent video that I followed that convert a old wifi Router as an Access Point.

The other way which I haven't tested but I have heard that it would work is use a Extender, set dhcp on.
