Need Help Getting Arduino or Raspberry Pi to Transfer Data Via WiFi

[aNTohnEE]

I have a project which currently contains two Arduino boards communicating back and forth through RF transmitters. What I want to do now, if possible, is replace the RF transmitters with WiFi shields and have the Arduinos communicate back and forth through a wireless network. Will this be possible? If not, would the Raspberry Pi or something else be better suited for this task? Ideally I want them to be able to communicate through different networks but if I can only make them talk across the same WiFi network that's fine too.

it's possible and easy on RPi, I'm not familiar with Arduino but it's definitely possible there as well. could just use some sockets, I've done it on RPi with socket.io before. it might be easier to just have them both connect to a central server and communicate through that so they don't both need to have ports forwarded and so their IPs won't really matter.

Thanks, appreciate the suggestion! And by central server you mean a single network right?
