"Ethernet and WiFi are not built in, but the device is compatible with several WiFi SDIO cards, including the Spectec SDW-821 and SDW-823, says Qi Hardware."

Google says you can get one for 40 bucks. I have never seen or used a sd wifi card nor have I ever had a reason to.

I suspect it would be very flimsy. Since the device has USB, I'd rather go with a HiRO USB stick, which has an RP-SMA antenna connector. Too bad it requires a staging driver (rtl8192su). But having a connector mounted on the device would be a big plus.
