Hi all, I know that there are a lot of threads about the use of a Wifi module with Netduino. However not all solution are completely. I tried following some tutorial with a Wifly shield without success. Now, I'm looking for a working solution to have wifi connection with Netdudino+. No matter the price. Can you suggest to me some directions ? thank you Roberto

I have got only one wifi solution working, but with some limitations. So I wonder; what kind of data are you going to transfer? As a server or client?

The primary goal is "client". I have some ideas about gadgets that invoke internet services and read/write, tipically using REST (so few data).
Anyway, in the future I can be interested also for a server implementation.
What kind of limitations do you refer ? using for example XBEE module ?
thanks
Roberto

I indeed used a Wifi-module of the size of a XBee module, but that can only maintain one socket at the time. Also, there are wired->wireless bridges that you could use, so the wifi isn't done on the netduino but in some other piece of hardware.

Not sure if this will help, but I ended up using a TiVo wireless N adapter that I already had and it works great. It has a cat5 cable and RJ-45 connector that plugs right into the ethernet port on the Netduino Plus. The other thing I like about it is the WPS capability for security with the router. I had it up and going in just a few minutes.

They can be found pretty cheap on eBay.

The other thing I like is that it shows the Netduino's MAC address in my router's client list and the IP address gets assigned to the Netduino. Since I am new to Netduino I don't know if there are ever problems otherwise but was happy to see that the wireless adapter just acts as an extension.

Other quick note is I am using a Belkin router but I would think could use other routers (it has the ability to enter encryption key if you don't have WPS on your router), and the adapter needs a power source.

I hope this helps.

Don
