user8170: Recently I bought a B006RATC2E wireless shield for my Arduino One, but didn't notice that I had to buy a wifi module as well to let it work (bad surprise as the shield already cost me $30 + travel expenses to CR). Could someone be so kind to suggest me some compatible wifi modules for the shield?
I'm kind of newbie in this and when I search specs for Adafruit and XBee modules, the documentation is not explicit about the compatibility with Arduino shields, so I'm stuck.
I don't want to buy components that would't work together (my budget is limited). Is XBee XB24 a good module for the shield? Any other alternative?
Thanks in advance for any help!

user972: Wireless doesn't necessarily mean it's WiFi.
You should get an XBee module that explicitly states that it's a WiFi module.
For a cheaper alternative you can check ESP8266 WiFi modules, which you can get for $5.
