MKR 1010 Failing Wifi Module

I have 3 times now had the wifi module fail on a mkr1010. Anyone else having such issues?

What do you mean by “fail”?

How do you know it failed?
So now you are on your 4th board?

The wifi module throws an error message, I will have to pull out one of the failed boards to see what again. The remainder of the board works.

Make sure that the board's connectivity firmware is updated, check Use the Firmware Updater in Arduino IDE

An error msg does not necessarily mean the board is dead, it is much more likely user error. Since you have not posted it we can't tell.

I will reply as soon as I can get the old boards out. When I tried to update the firmware there were failure codes given for the wifi chip.

I trust you have followed the instructions pointed out in post 5.

WiFi.status() returns WL_NO_MODULE.
On one of the boards installing firmware fails (using downloaded IDE, tools, firmware updater), on the other the firmware is up to date.
