This device works very well and is relatively inexpensive at $17.

On a side note to this I see Forf is offering wifi in some of their models this year. I suspect others will follow. It will be interesting to see how well that works out.

I've had this vision of making a portable simplex node that I could take anywhere and use my wifi broadcast feature on my Android phone. I figured a BBB would fit the bill.

I'm not totally up in everything available networking wise. Would it make more sense to use something that plugs into the ethernet port of the BBB that would pick up the wifi? Does such a device exist?

Or just plug some sort of wifi device into the USB of of the BBB.

Thank you
