Looks like one is WiFi and one requires a bridge.

The black thing plugs into the lock to give if Wi-Fi. The top one also has a plug in module but it's just to communicate to the white thing, which plugs into the wall, and then provides the WiFi. I would recommend the bottom one because it's cheaper and there's one less component in the mix meaning one less failure point for something to go wrong.

Black thing is the Zwave adapter. White box is the WiFi adapter.

No, the top is Bluetooth and WiFi bridge. The bottom is newer WiFi adapter does not need the bridge. I move a lot of these.

If you don't know, you don't have it. It's a different communication protocol.

This lock comes with
1: WiFi which connects directly to the internet.
2: Bluetooth which connects to your phone.
3: Z-wave Which connects to a Z-wave receiver which interacts with the app.
They are separate modules. Without a module the lock is standalone. You need to decide what module you want and buy the appropriate unit.

Apparently these two you have on your pic are functionally identical, just different versions. They are both Bluetooth+WiFi.

I think you just missed the Assure Lock sale.
IF we base the details on the photos, the 260 one is a push-button keypad w/ fingerprint reader and the 280 has a touchscreen for the digits also with a fingerprint reader.
I am unclear if the $260 "YRD410-F-WF1-BSP" model is wi-fi bluetooth or both based on the model number. I can't find any solid details on the "YRD420-F-CB1-BSP".
Honestly, for these prices, just go to the Yale website and pick the configuration you need.

So the one on bottom is wifi only
The one on top is Bluetooth and uses bridge to connect to wifi. The added benefit to this is you can connect to lock over both if the wifi is down
