Thats something I hadn't tried.
Might just work. When I get my new server up and running I'll look into 
that.

Suggestions for a good one to buy Peter?  The usb-wifi's I have bought 
have generally been a waste of money. Too much neighborhood interference 
I think. I've not scanned recently but found over a dozen usable signals 
from the shop building in the upper rear corner of the back yard a year 
or so back. Thats way too many in a 2.4 gig band.  Gotta be connection 
killing interference.

Turn on a firewall and block him by MAC address.

You could use a USB-Ethernet dongle for normal internet connectivity,
that's what I use on my test machines.

I'd use a USB WiFi dongle for the software upgrades or any other
internet access, and use the ethernet port to control the 7i96.

If you don't want your CNC machine on the internet most of the time,
pull the WiFi dongle.  I use my phone as the hotspot for my WiFi
connected CNC machines.  It's very convenient, secure, and it avoids
stringing Cat6 cable around the shop.

At $120, the last 45 being the ethernet socket, its still more than a 
5i25 and a SainSmart Bob.  Not by much, add the 2nd BoB to the 5i25 and 
its higher.

Can that work thru a switch and maintain some modicum of decent latentcy?
Since very few, and they are getting old, computers have 2 ethernet 
ports, and I consider a net connection a pre-requisite if for no other 
reason than keeping the machine up to date easy, I have tended to play a 
Sam Eliot about ethernet cards. Hence the question of will it run thru a 
switch so a local network can also work and still run the machine well?
