What is the ESP module that will offer the besst operating range together with an easy connection to the 0.1 pitch breadboard ?

In my case, removing the cap was the right move when using an external antenna.

Thank you!

Should I leave the thing onto which "rainsun" is written ? (is it an antenna?)

Thanks
