Once a fan, not anymore 12 Shelly devices disappointed finally

I have 12 of gen 1, gen 2, and motion sensors amongst my total of 44 smart switches/devices in my home. I started with Shelly 5 years ago. I recently have had a number of the Shelly's disconnect from my wifi (some of my other devices are wifi/zigbee that I run off of my router and my smart things hub.) This one 2PM is the final straw. I am reconnecting it as its built in the wall (without a switch) so I had to pull it out and it wouldn't connect, and I did everything right, and all the convoluted connection protocol's that this company thinks is normal in 2026 to link it to a freaking 2.4 gHZ network. With this many Shelly's you would think I would have the process down, but no. It is so poorly designed, that you have to rediscover how to connect them every time. I was a fanboy of this company even having my friends get them and I installed them for them, but now I am feeling remorse. That is all, my rant for the day. No need for any help other than should I go to sonoff or some other in wall relay?
