It's very unlikely that the unit has a fault that causes wireless to
fail but allows everything else to work. So a replacement is also likely
to not work.


Why? It is unlikely that the signal is failing before the radio part,
but then it is a radio transmitter, and they have all maner of things
that can go wrong.

Because it almost certainly left the factory working so any faults introduced later were caused by bad handling. It's *very* unlikely that a bang received in shipping broke just the circuit tracks/wiring leading to the aerials and nothing else. Since everything else is more on less on one chip, if the LAN bit of it works so too does the wireless bit.
