WiFi USB Stick module

Append an additional WiFi network to your computer

Free your Internet projects and objects from their network cable by adding a WiFi connection to them. Offer this advantage to your Raspberry-Pi, Beaglebone or nano computer by using one of its USB ports to connect this highly reliable WiFi key... while remaining affordable.
Among the many modules tested, this one works with Raspberry-Pi and beaglebone Angstrom without having to recompile the kernel. That's enough to get a wireless connection in 10 minutes! Works with 802.11b/g/n networks.

If you use a Raspberry-Pi, you will be happy to know that the latest version of Raspbian Wheezy already supported this module out-of-the-box. Remember to use a power supply capable of powering your Pi and the WiFi module. In case of problems, you can always benefit from the advantages offered by a Hub having its own power supply.
