WIFI on raspberry Pi for Avalon 6 miner or wifi bridge

[FergNZ]

I want to be able to add wifi to the raspberry Pi that runs my Avalon 6

OR

Use a spare raspberry Pi to make a wifi bridge
Wifi on dongle, use the Ethernet out to a switch to miners

I want to do this as miners are not practical in my living room with the router.
Need to have in spare room or garage.

Wifi on a Raspberry Pi is fairly straightforward. Just obtain a wireless dongle (Adafruit.com sells them and accepts Bitcoin if you're in one of the countries they ship to) and configure the Pi to connect to the network. Since the Pi runs openwrt you can use these instructions. Please let us know if you have any trouble.

I've used this dongle for the past months with my RPi and it works fine http://www.tp-link.com/lb/products/details/cat-11_TL-WN725N.html
It's not the fastest but it is really cheap and easy to set up.
