To add hotspot capability to a DVMEGA Cast, you need a Radio Hotspot board that connects via the option connector using the included ribbon cable. The upgrade kit includes a flat cable, M3 x 10 spacer, and two M3 screws. The ribbon cable must be connected with the red wire oriented toward the side of the board.
