# Quick Review: WIZnet W5100S-EVB-Pico & W5500-EVB-Pico Development Boards

The WIZnet W5100S-EVB-Pico and W5500-EVB-Pico both attempt to improve things by integrating Ethernet into a clone of the original design, requiring minimal additional footprint and remaining functionally identical to the Ethernet Hat. While the boards don’t have the luxury of an ENIG finish or a nifty buck-boost regulator, they offer a lot of capability for the price and are something that I have grown quite fond of. As they work with Arduino, it can make for porting older projects based on AVR + Ethernet Shield to a new platform relatively easy. While Raspberry Pi do have their Raspberry Pi Pico W, sometimes Wi-Fi just isn’t good enough and Ethernet really is required and these boards do a good job of making it easy.
