I think it’s an Arduino shield. If so then I assume that it’s being used like an ESP-01 to provide Wi-Fi access.

Yes, I know how crazy that is! The expression “putting lipstick on a pig” springs to mind.

You could start with searching this forum - this topic might help apply that lipstick ;P… or you might want change to different hardware… I suspect even an ESP-01 is easier to configure then this fixed shield.
