I think it would be beneficial for those of us who have the Netduino Plus 2 to be able to have a tried and tested Wi-Fi shield that plugs into the Ethernet socket on the board (if that's even possible). Nonetheless, a tried and tested Wi-Fi shield would be a great product.

 

I'm not sure if there is a tried and tested Wi-Fi solution but I do like the TLS and SSL support built into the CC3100. Has anyone tried using the CC3100 with the Netduino Plus 2?

Wouldn't that just be called a wireless router ?

 

A WiFi shield without the mod you are suggesting costs £78 in the UK but I can get a router for less than £20.

 

Sorry, but given the price of routers I can't see the point of this solution.

 

Regards,

Mark

@Nevyn, did you read the part about TLS and SSL support? Also in the US a shield would cost $25-$30 and the advantage is that it is conveniently mounted along with the ND making the "gadget":

1. More self sufficient.

2. Easily deployable in the field and/or transportable

3. Driven by a battery pack (or less power nonetheless)

4. No Ethernet cable required

5. The router or network cable is not always conveniently located or accessible to the ND on the home or office

 

if TLS/SSL were not a requirement maybe we could have a solution that uses one of the $5 USB dongles

Now here's a giggle. The majority of wireless enabled routers contain a pair of serial ports. And they support Open-WRT or DD-WRT. However if your selected router application needs a custom image, then that will require either a Linux box or VM running Linux to make it. 

 

The idea is to connect the Netduino to it either via its serial port to the router, or via Ethernet, if you don't want to use low level communications.

 

 

Incidentally Mark not far from where you are happen to be a pair of individuals who travel in what looks like a Police box, please do not feed them but do direct them to the nearest Police station.
