<![CDATA[M5Stack does not connect WiFi with Node attached]]>My M5Stack does not connect to WiFi when the Node shield is attached. When I remove the Node and connect the battery or USB shield, the WiFi connection is perfect.
I have two M5Stack's and two Node's both same issue.

Does anyone knows how to solve this?

(on OS X 10.11.6)

Seems obvious that we need the drivers, but I thought I already had them after going thru the espressif/arduino-esp32 install steps.
e.g. My "System Report / Hardware / USB" showed
CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller driver

For others' future reference, you should see something like:
n8s-iMac:nleon$ ls -al /dev/tty.*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 2 Jul 4 11:14 /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

Regardless, thanks for the pointer!

maybe is the router signal quality problem. you could try put the device closer the router

No, i experience significative degradation with node base attached, while using face base i can connect from long distance. As i mentioned, putting proto board in between mitigate partially, i can gain some meter but not as using face base
