This is awesome, thank you for the tutorial! As noted in the other thread, there are at least three compatible WiFi adapters stern has used so far:

Quoted from flynnibus:

Yeah all three so far have been different chipsets
Panda dual antenna - Ralink RT5572
Canakit - Ralink 5370
now Startech - Realtek - RTL8188EUS

Also, Check out this switch box for adding up to 4 games:

Quoted from Bos98:

i bought 2 4 way manual selector switches and daisy chained them together to get 7 games connected. I ran my own custom length Ethernet cables from the backboxes where a stern topper would normally connect (I don't have any of those).
I have the switch boxes mounted under the Godzilla at the moment. I may refine this a bit but it does work.

That’s great to know….and you can run 8 games after your next NIB purchase right? Planning ahead-

Quoted from Bos98:

You could just keep chaining the switches

Yeah I know was just goofing on you.......7 stern games it seems pretty likely you’ll end up with another NIB eventually.

Nice work on the layout. Got mine all set up today and it worked like a charm, was stoked to get avengers and maiden connected with only $60 invested!
