Hi.
Here is a couple pictures of the MC33926 board with the wifi board sitting on top. The terminals are at the other end of the board from a typical Arduino motor shield. So that puts the terminals where the center pins are located on the Makerfab wifi shield. You requested a picture so please see below.
Maybe the best illustration is here is an Arduino motor shield besides a Pololu motor shield. Both boards are orientation as they would go onto a mega. I like the Pololu shield as the it has a higher Amp rating.
Also I tried the automated installer on my Windows 10 system. The Command prompt window opens for a few seconds and crashes. This is with me running the exe as a administrator. I reran the exe within the Command prompt window and was able to capture the error message. It appears to be trying to find files on the F drive. I do not have a F drive on my PC. See below error message. I have highlighted the lines that I am referring to.

I was able to load the Sketch via Arduino IDE and get the Wifi running and linked to my router. Of course without the motor shield in place. I suspect there may be some edits to setup the Mega and the Pololu motor shield. Where are those located? Is there a read me somewhere for that?
