  1. Wifi + Bluetooth $9
  2. Wifi only $13
I don’t understand which is better for wifi only use (I don’t need Bluetooth).  Are there differences such as power and range?  I see that the wifi only module has the ability to add an external antennae which should give it more range.
 
Without knowing these difference it would make more sense to buy the lower cost one and get the added functionality of Bluetooth in case you need it in the future.

Do you mean the PINE64 WiFi remote module for $12.99? I think that's for connecting sensors and suchlike via wireless, not for going on the internet and stuff. The one you want is the $9.99 one.

More powerful internet WiFi modules will be available later, but not during this Backerkit stage.

Does that mean if we want to use a WiFi remote (and browse the internet) that we would need to buy both? The 12.99 module for a wifi remote and the 9.99 module for regular internet use? I am trying to figure out all the differences between the two modules and I can't quite seem to figure it out.
