I want to connect my arduino to my Wi-Fi network for less than €50. Can you name any good options please?
How about a Roving Networks WiFly (802.11b/g WEP, WPA, WPA2) for US$35 and a SeeedStudio XBee shield for $10.
I've been using the WiFly for a couple of weeks and found it easy to set up and use.
Isn't the $10 XBee shield only a shield - the transceiver module is extra (and quite a bit extra)?

Ah yes. You plug the WiFly into the XBee shield. The WiFly is pin-compatible with XBee modules - nice huh? So the total cost is $10 for the XBee shield, and $35 for the WiFly module.
Exactly the kind of things I was looking for. Right now I am trying with IR sensor (only 2$!) but I am worried about the directional issue. I don't think IR sensors are meant to be used for Remote Control... This will be the next step once the robot's frame is finished.
They are much more expensive on ebay/amazon. Could anyone kindly point me to a link? 
Thank you very much!
(Also, are you 100% sure you can connect the XBEE to a wifi network? Not XBEE card to XBEE card, but XBEE to router?)
Also, are you 100% sure you can connect the XBEE to a wifi network?
I'm 100% sure that you can't.
Not that it matters, since the link was not to an XBee but to a WiFi module that has the same footprint as an XBee. That does not make it an XBee.
Davste, the links are in my earlier post:

And as Paul points out, the WiFly module has an XBee compatible format. It is not a ZigBee or XBee module, it is a WiFi module that connects to 802.11b/g networks.
