So today we will be looking at re-configuring the WiFi module after its been installed into the Amiga using a telnet client (This will also work for doing the initial configuration as well)

Did you know that the TF330 card has a header for an Esp8266 WiFi module? Some work is needed to get it working but its pretty straight forward. and having access to aminet.net for downloading software directly to your CD32 is well worth it.. I have written up the procedure I used in the video and made a PDF It has all the links to the downloads as well as the commands you need to enter at the various prompts.

See written procedure I followed linked below.
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!! USE at your own risk! These instructions worked for me but I can not say for sure that they will work for you. If you don’t know what your doing don’t try to upgrade your firmware.
If you want the latest firmware but don't feel up to it, contact the builder that made your board and ask them to upgrade the firmware they are all great and very helpful. If your TF330 is working fine on the old firmware YOU DON'T NEED TO UPGRADE. If you break your board do not contact me you have been warned.
If after all these warnings you still want to try……..
