The real question is why was the WIFI disabled in the first place?
Even though you can, doesn't mean you should going online with CFW, if all the pre requisites has put in place to minimise system ban when going online, then you will be risking a 50/50 change getting banned.
Since we don't know any history of that switch because of it's current CFW state, the Switch could very well be banned or flag for banned once it goes online, hence the previous user disabled the WIFI option.
Has he contacted the seller to ask why the WIFI option is not there?

Hmmm, that's pretty much outside my technical support scope regarding any CFW related issues, for what it's worth and any other potential issues later, I try getting the money back or you could just get a cheap USB network adaptor and connect the Switch by LAN while docked.

Other smart cookies around here might have a answer.

Try to boot into Andriod or Linux and see if you have the same wifi issues. If it persist then you have a wifi chip problem. Can try to reheat it

    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.

    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
