I am going to go 2 in about a week....

Which plugin are you using?

The free tenHsEcm12xx plugin supports two ECMs as follows:

1 serial port and 1 ethernet
2 ethernet

So, make sure one of them can be connected via ethernet.

If it is within your budget, I always advise getting the radio built into the ECM as it keeps your options open going forward.

You need at least one wirelessly talking to an etherbee connected to your network.

That's what I'd recommend. Working great for me. I test with one serial and one ethernet, but revert back to running both through the etherbee most of the time. Never had a problem.
