ISpindel not reporting in spike conical

[cwhit519]

Hello,
My Ispindels refuse to report to brewfather while in my spike conical. Has anyone had this issue? If so, was it signal strength to the internet router/WiFi gateway? Are there inexpensive options for repeaters or signal booster other than waiting 1 month for a nautilus to ship from Croatia?

Get a D1 mini esp8266

Use this GitHub - martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater: A full functional WiFi Repeater (correctly: a WiFi NAT Router)

Easy to add a supplementary antenna, I took antenna out of a discarded router.
Used this method.
