Can someone please give me advise on where I could find the best price on an Arduino Wifi shield that is also reliable? Also what is the difference between this shield http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Arduino/A000065/?qs=Cvel0QnFNSJ1Fl%2Fc0qmq5A%3D%3D&gclid=CJWXt_2w9cACFa_m7AodyX4Acg and this shield http://www.amazon.com/CarNetix-Arduino-Wireless-SD-Shield/dp/B006RATC2E

Thanks for your time.

There's no difference. They are both genuine Wifi shields.

Wow. One is $50 more??

How do figure ? Mouser is $32, Amazon is $31.99

I am really confused?? Isn't this an Arduino WiFi shield? http://www.amazon.com/Arduino-WiFi-Shield/dp/B009M8BU50/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411416635&sr=8-1&keywords=arduino+wifi+shield
It's $79.95 on Amazon. Maybe I am missing something...

Yes it is and yes you are missing something.
The first two that you linked are simply shields with headers for the zigbee or xbee radio to plug in.
The one you just linked has no headers because it has the radio integrated into the shield.
If you bought the $32 shield , you would still have to buy the radio module (transmitter/receiver) to plug into it.

If you bought the $80 one , you would have everything you need

Connection via: 802.11b/g networks (R3 board with integrated antenna)
