Hi,
I understand it is possible to replace the Bluetooth card with the X-Bee wifi card.
Would it then be possible to connect the X-Bee to the router and initiate connection to the EZ-B via the router or would I have to directly connect to the X-Bee via the computer. (In my case also meaning disconnecting from the router)
Which other ones are you talking about? Could you provide a specific one that easily integrates with the EZB and performs the above?
Which one would be an easy swap?

Would you recommend another model?
Also when installing a class 1 bluetooth device to the EZ-Board you should also install a class 1 bluetooth dongle in your computer. You can search ebay and Amazon.com for choices of class 1 USB Bluetooth dongles.
Here's a class 1 dongle I have
The class1 is priced too high... rather go with the WIFI.
64.99
Its about 10 dollars more than a WiFi module but much easier to use. Only use WiFi if you need networking and are OK with using a router. Its more difficult.
