Hey guys, This might sound like a stupid question but I received my emonpi this week and I can't activate the Wi-Fi connection. So after some research, I figured out that maybe it's because I need to plug an additional USB wifi adapter to the emonpi :-) Is that right or does the emonpi have built-in Wi-Fi ? And if there's no built-in Wi-fi what is the purpose of the antenna provided in the package ? I'm confused :)

Re: Built-in Wi-Fi ? [SOLVED]
The emonPi does not have a built in wi-fi interface, you will need to add a usb wifi dongle or plug in an Ethernet cable for an internet connection. The antenna is for the RFM network that the nodes (eg emonTx and emonTH) transmit on.

Ok thanks :)
I don't know if I'm the first one to misunderstand that but maybe the online store should be a little more clear by stating the Wi-Fi is not available by default.
