I have configured several Kiwis for wifi access by attaching an inexpensive router configured as a Wifi client to the ethernet port of the Kiwi. This $25 TP Link has worked well for me:

In principle one could enable the internal BB Wifi or attach a USB wifi adapter, but I am reluctant to fiddle with the Kiwi's OS.

OpenWebRX [using a transverter/down-converter with the Kiwi]
I built VHF/UHF band support into kiwiwspr and wsprdaemon and will add support for downconverters if there is an active user.

WSPR Autorun Callsigns [info here about GPS antennas & splitters]
Clint has written up an installation blog at: http://ka7oei.blogspot.com/search/label/KiwiSDR
However I have a much updated version of wsprdaemon.sh to release in the next few days which I hope will also simplify installation.
$15 8-way moca splitter works great for me. I got a bag of F to SMA adapters to connect it to the Kiwis. No extra bias-t HW required.

OpenWebRX [using a transverter/down-converter with the Kiwi]
I bought but have not yet deployed two of the $150 High Sierra Microwave downconverters Jim described http://www.hsmicrowave.com/sdr.html, one for 6M and another for 70cm. They will customize the input frequency and include all the filtering, but you will need to supply a LO. For WSPR a high stability GPSDO LO like the $150 Leo Bodnar would be needed, but for other modes that would be over specced. -
Kiwi Does Indeed Do The Job On WSPR
The next version of kiwiwspr logs its name along with the spots, so we can download the database zip files and see who is running kiwiwspr

8 channel Kiwi WSPR decoding script 'kiwiwspr.sh' using Raspberry Pi or other external server
I have attached version kiwiwspr.sh 1.1g which includes a number of significant enhancements. The most important in my judgement is that it now tests the version of wsprd and if wsprd 2.0 is installed it is run with command line flags which will result in 10% more spots from the same captures.
You can obtain that new wsprd by downloading to your Pi the WSJT-x 2.0 release candidate from the WSJT-x web site. I am told we can expect no further ?hanges in the wsprd included in the current RC3 package.
To install this version, download this file to your Pi and rename it to kiwiwsr.sh and then replace your current kiwiwspr.sh with the renamed version.
Verify the version you are running with "./kiwiwspr.sh -V'
