Hi, I'm considering Netduino Pluse 2 board for its internet connectivity, since my both laptops are connected to the interent via WIFI, I'm wondering how can I connect the Netduino Plus 2 board to the internet? Any thoughts are really appreciated. Thanks Raed

Netduino Plus 2 has Ethernet and Ethernet only. There are some Wiznet shields that should be compatible with Netduino (and Plus 2 ofc) that can be used to connect the Netduino to Wifi.

Thanks Nicky,
I was thinking of a way to have ethernet line from my laptop-which is wifi connected- to the Netduino.

Hi Raed, We sometimes use Internet Connection Sharing on laptops to connect Netduino Plus boards to the Internet. This works with any type of network connection...Ethernet, WiFi, GPRS/LTE, etc. Chris

You could also use a wifi access point if you didn't want to do any programming on the n2+. Something like this: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16833704048 will let you plug the ethernet into the N2+ and have the access point itself (once configured) handle the bridging. You're looking for 'bridge mode'. While a bit expensive, could save some headaches. Can also plug it into a switch and add multiple network devices to it.
