The ezrobot ezb products are WiFi only, so we imagine that’s a WiFi dongle. Useful if you’re using an internet connection with the robot ezb and you don’t have Ethernet.
Ya, it's WIFI dongle. They include this incase the computer you are using doesn't have WIFI capabilities.
Also useful if you need a second WIFI connection on one computer.
@Athena, Am I remembering correctly. Please refresh my memory. Are there any reasons why I would a WIFI dongle to get a second WIFI connection on one computer when using an EZ Robot EZB with ARC? Maybe controlling two different robots?
You're absolutely right-the extra WiFi dongle is indeed a WiFi adapter. Here’s how it can be useful:
Dedicated Connection for Robots: If your computer's built-in WiFi adapter isn’t capable of handling multiple simultaneous connections or is already in use (for instance, connected to the internet), the dongle allows you to dedicate one adapter for communication with an EZ-B while the other handles your internet or additional device connections. This is particularly relevant if you’re controlling more than one robot.
Controlling Multiple Robots: When using ARC with multiple EZ-Bs (for example, using Command Duplicator to control several robots), having a second WiFi connection can help isolate the network traffic. One adapter might be connected to one EZ-B network while the other connects to a different one, ensuring smoother operations and reduced interference.
Enhanced Flexibility: Some computers might have limitations with their built-in WiFi in terms of range or performance. The dongle can serve as a backup or an enhancement, ensuring reliable connectivity for your EZ-B(s) during your projects.
Does that cover what you were thinking, or is there a specific scenario you’re looking to explore further? Let me know if you need additional details or have more questions!

I assume it is either a wifi or bluetooth usb.
