As the name implies, a simple solution

For Simple Wifi RS232 Modem v2

I got this to get online with me Sinclair QL. Works perfectly with a QL to DB9 adapter from one of the specialist Sinclair e-shops.

Seeing a BBS spring to life on the screen of this old machine was somewhat magical. And easy to do.

Many thanks :)

Works perfectly

For Apple II ProDOS bootable 1MB read-only drive v4.0

My unenhanced //e boots this card almost instantly. I'll probably be changing the EPROM contents, but the default one is a good start.

Works perfectly

For Apple2-IO-RPi - expansion card using a RaspberryPI

I had to upgrade the firmware to get full functionality, but that's as easy as running a BASIC program, so no problem at all.
This is a really cool product, and it works very well. The software is very impressive.
I was expecting to need to buy a Pi Zero 2W for this, but it works perfectly (and surprisingly fast) with an old Pi Zero W.

Must-have for ervery retro collector

For Simple Wifi RS232 Modem v2

The Simple Wifi RS232 Modem v2 arrived only two days (!) after I ordered it (Italy to Germany) and I was able to quickly get started: just plug it into the RS32 port of your (retro) machine and fire up your terminal software (default speed is 1200 baud). Then run AT+CONFIG and you're ready to go. Based on the well-known Zimodem firmware, this piece of hardware is a must-have for every reto collector with a desire to connect their old machines to BBSes and other online services.

Excellent!

For Simple Wifi RS232 Modem v2

I just wished there was a choice of male or female connectors. My Apple II Super Serial Board comes with a female connector, so I had to get a gender changer. No big deal.
Other than that the modem works well and opens a Pandora box of fun activities.
To do next: some kind of dongle to steal power from the Apple II.
