<p dir="ltr">On Terry's recommendation to look at replaceable WiFi modules that can serve "almost 50 kids", my current interest is to explore the $279.99 Gigabyte BRIX GB-BSi3H-6100:</p>

<p dir="ltr">If we go with the above CPU/chassis -- or anything similar folks recommend -- which WiFi module (PCIe M.2 presumably) to consider for maximum community support isn't an easy question of course: any recommendations for Linux support? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy support would be an Optional Bonus, as we have a long-term desire to provide teacher smartphones' full control over their "personal" school server.</p>
<p dir="ltr">PS the above unit comes with an "Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165" which we'll throw out as nec! Or perhaps it suffices among the smallest installations, with only 12 simultaneous WiFi connections?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks to anybody who can contribute to this R&D discussion/evaluation, as Intel NUC's soldered-down internal WiFi (likewise limited to 12 WiFi connections) has in the end become too constricting~</p>
