Need advice on 2 or 1 zone

Need advice on 2 or 1 zone

I have 4wd vision cloud and it seems to struggle with tight passages. I set the two grassy areas in the picture up as 2 zones but on the right side it seems to have an issue because it gets too tight around the first light post. It stops, says searching for zone and then fails and says unreachable charging station. I was thinking maybe I should try to manually map the area as 1 zone, including the cement pathway, to give it a larger area to navigate in. Think that would work?

WR341E - so many issues

I've set this thing up and while I do have a very tricky property for it to deal with, and I love how well it handles hills, this thing is just dumb as rocks and has so many issues:

-when setting it up it wouldn't connect to the internet even though it was connected to my wifi. By a stroke of luck I noticed in my router app that there was a reconnect button when looking at the connected mower there and this did the truck. Before that I had wasted hours of research and troubleshooting.

-the front wheels are so freaking loud that I'm actually embarrassed and scared of how much annoyance it's causing the neighbors. How the heck do think this is ok?

-when it's mowing it's constantly moving around, rotating the front wheels and making soo much noise. It will go forward 5 cm, rotate, go forward 7 cm, rotate etc etc. There seems to be no intelligence in its mowing plan, which would make it mow as efficiently as possible with as little turning as possible. This makes the noise problem soooo much worse than it has to be.

-I have a path between zones which really should be plenty wide for it to move between them, but it keeps going off the side and getting stuck. It's got a freaking camera and still just runs off the ground. Why can't it just strictly follow the path I made???

-I set it to do a one time cut and it went out, started cutting and then returned home 5 minutes later. Why?? On another attempt it had nearly finished the first zone and had 50 percent battery left and just randomly decided to go home.

-way before sunset, with plenty of light out it all of a sudden gave me an error "insufficient light". I was unable to get it going again until I randomly tested to take out the battery for 10 secs before putting it back in. Then it agreed to mow again.

Gpt a 4wd Landroid Vision WR341E for a very complex and steep property. I have 4 zones and just want to make 100 percent sure that it is sufficient with paths between the zones only, as long as 1 of the zones have a path to the charging station? Each zone doesn't need it's own path to the charger, right?

And bonus question: is it OK to have multiple paths between zones or does that confuse the mower?
