Adds high-speed Wi-Fi networking, file-transfer protocols, and SD-card storage to computers with a standard RS-232 interface.

The maker page exposed direct eBay, Sphere Cube, and Arcade Shopper purchase routes on 2026-07-30. Tavily could not independently extract the exact eBay or Sphere Cube destinations, recorded as WF-044 and WF-045, so confirm current stock before ordering. A user-supplied 5 V micro-USB supply is required; the SD card, serial cable, and computer-specific adapters are not included.

It needs an external 5 V micro-USB supply, and the host may also need a gender changer, DB9 adapter, or correctly wired computer-specific serial cable.
