Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is MKS WiFi module with MKS Eagle and H43 display.
WiFi in Marlin firmware is configured only to work via TFT_LVGL_UI
It is impossible to run MKS WiFi module on MKS Eagle and H43 display.
The same problem will occur on Robin nano V3 and H43 display.
At the same time, the MKS Eagle and Robin nano V3 boards have a connector for connecting the MKS WiFi module and the H43 display.
However, due to unfinished firmware, this equipment does not work together.
Please add to Marlin the ability to work the MKS WiFi module with the H43 display for MKS Eagle and Robin nano V3.

Are you looking for hardware support?

MKS WiFi module, H43 display, MKS Eagle, Robin nano V3

Describe the feature you want

Please add to Marlin the ability to work the MKS WiFi module with the H43 display for MKS Eagle and Robin nano V3.

What do you mean by impossible?
Doesn't work?
Doesn't compile (which requires current bugfix example config files and error messages)

Needs details.

Perhaps your referring to just these lines in the Config?

#if ENABLED(TFT_LVGL_UI)
  //#define MKS_WIFI_MODULE // MKS WiFi module
#endif

This is trivial to change to #if DGUS_UI_IS(MKS) || ENABLED(TFT_LVGL_UI)
For current bugfix2.1.x

Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way.
MKS says the following in 2021:

Currently only LVGL_UI supports MKS Wifi function.

The ESP module is running standard ESP3D firmware which works outside of any enabled UI: https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-Robin-Nano-V2.X/wiki/Use-MKS_Robin_WIFI-on-Robin-Nano#use-esp3d-firmware-on-mks-robin-wifi

You just need to enable the WiFi's serial port (3) and flash the ESP module with ESP3D firmware.
