I have just about every version of Raspberry Pi, but until only recently acquired an R4 thanks to the WLAN Pro conference. (along with 2x 6e adapters). I had always wanted an upgrade, but had been rocking the &#8220;original&#8221; Neo2 WLAN Pi which was really handy for basic application\/testing\/file hosting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nice thing about the pre-built packages or kits is that you get the buttons, screen, and purpose built case all ready to go. Just like the first WLAN Pi, a lot of function is at the ready without having to SSH to the unit, if you pick the appropriate option with the button navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wlanpi.com\">https:\/\/www.wlanpi.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would have thought adding a Wi-Fi 7 adapter might work transparently, but it appears the kernel doesn&#8217;t have the appropriate drivers.
