Hardware Maxcio W DE004
Contributed based on work by Michael Harwerth from Germany
Quite affordable (4-pack for 47€ on Amazon) Wifi Plugs. Of course, they have their own mobile phone app, but that's not what we're looking for, isn't it?

Drill a hole in the botom cover. This will allow you to easily pry off the cover
Loosen the two screws that are now exposed and you now have access to the insides
USB Port connector is a good place for connecting GND
RX, TX and GPIO0 are marked here
For flashing, connect up RX<->TX and TX<->RX as usual to your programmer, GND to GND and hold GPIO0 against ground, then power it up via the USB port. Possibly there may be a way to connect 3.3V directly. I don't know, need to get myself a new multimeter one of these days and check it out.
Here is the pinout for the WiFi module
