   Hi   
   I use a mini router that connects to ethernet (I'm guess your board has   
   that?) then can also power over USB, use it for all sorts of things   
   since it has a USB port for storage printer etc... GPIO pins for   
   whatever, connect with minicom over the same cables used to connect   
   to my RPI's. I have one setup as a WiFi extender as well.
