Adafruit Miniature WiFi (802.11b/g/n) Module: For Raspberry Pi and more

Transform your Internet of Things device into a cable-free solution by integrating WiFi seamlessly. Utilize the Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone's USB port to establish a cost-efficient, yet highly reliable wireless connection.

Our rigorous testing of numerous modules highlights a standout choice that integrates effortlessly with Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone systems without the need for kernel recompilation. Compatible with BeagleBone's Angstrom/Debian and the Pi's Raspbian, as well as most up-to-date Pi operating systems, you can achieve wireless internet connectivity in a mere 10 minutes. This module supports 802.11b/g/n networks flawlessly.

BeagleBone users must ensure the use of a 5V 2A power adapter to adequately power both the Bone and the WiFi module to avoid any instability or crashes. A detailed tutorial is available to guide you through this process.

Raspberry Pi users will find that the latest Raspbian distributions support this module straight out of the box. For Raspberry Pi Model B users, a powered hub may be necessary for optimal performance. If power issues arise, integrating a hub is recommended. Detailed tutorials are provided to assist in setting up WiFi networking on the Pi.

Ideal for home or office use with a nearby router, the current module may suffice. For more extensive projects or when placing your device behind obstructions, upgrading to a module with a larger antenna is advisable to ensure strong connectivity.

Although there may be slight variations in the WiFi module's physical appearance, rest assured that all shipped modules contain the identical, high-performance chipset. In valuing environmental considerations, modules are shipped without a CD to minimize packaging, capitalizing on built-in support across modern computing devices.
