Check your WiFi! Mine fails after 1 week

I loved it and have been building Plex servers with it . Well, in about a week the server will crash. Wi-Fi was not working and the system froze. I don't want to believe it was the nature of this article. The bottom of the box said 'Made in China' and it was a box of 14. I'm not a fan of the Element 14 brand as I've never been able to overclock them like the Pi's RS component boards. For some reason the board I received had a defect I think. After a week the wifi stopped working. It will not connect to the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands. I reset all sorts of settings but nothing helped. After I rebooted the Pi, the wifi didn't even register until some settings needed to be changed. Even so, the next reboot will result in no internet. I have another Pi 4 that works great, but this one falls on its head. I have a 3b+ plex server and it works great! It doesn't matter what you do with it. pi 4plex server. Phoenix as Hell! Check your Pi as I had a wifi failure. Order from canakit to ensure you receive quality parts. I get a replacement, but if it says "Made in China" on the box again, I'll send it back immediately. After that I don't accept chinese versions of pi 4! I feel like I'm going insane because this is so contradictory. I hate doubting myself!
