So the one you recommend from Amazon got some mediocre reviews and comes from Asia. But it works, good for you, that's a plus. It is also a Qualcomm Atheros, maybe not so dissimilar from the ones PC Engines sells on their site: http://www.pcengines.ch/wle200nx.htm and http://www.pcengines.ch/wle600vx.htm On Amazon there are better reviewed Broadcom and Intel modules, shipping from USA, sold/fulfilled by Amazon, etc. Or who knows, since then PC Engines may offer revised modules which work better. Anyone has any +/- experiences with any of the add-on boards which works (or doesn't work) with the APU boards? Praise or recommend against any particular build? The reason I am so onto this, is, there has been so many posts and threads has been here praising the PC Engines APU boards. I assume quite a few of you use it as a router, given its Ethernet ports. Then, why not add a wireless access point, too? That might be a popular request as well. Wi-Fi is important, but unfortunately it's a hit and miss. Thanks
