Arduino Project

I'm thinking about starting an Arduino project. I don't want to reveal details yet. But it won't be all that cool, just something I want.

I was really liking the ​BlackWidow until I read that it is not 802.11b/g but b only, which would slow my network down too much. FAIL guys. :(

So now I need to decide - do I get a ​Ethernet shield for $46 and then load ​OpenWRT into a ​$25 802.11n router? Then if the project fails, I still can re-use the router as a bridge somewhere else… or do I splurge and spend $90 for a "real" ​Arduino 802.11g unit?

The more I think about it, I think I may get the shield because that also gives me a little prototype area and doesn't have the temperature limits of the router…
