Connecting a Wi-Fi shield to Arduino
The final method you might consider to connect your Arduino wirelessly is with a wireless
LAN shield. I will not cover Wi-Fi in detail, but rather just show you how to connect to
Wi-Fi and point you in the general direction. Wi-Fi is clearly the most complex of the dif-
ferent ways to communicate, but it is a very common wireless communication tool used
today. To know more about Wi-Fi, visit

In order to connect to a wireless network, you'll need a Wi-Fi shield. The following is an
image of the standard Arduino Wi-Fi shield:
Place the shield onto the Arduino Uno and you are ready to connect to a wireless network.
