I modified an Airport Express station as wifi bridge to ethernet for legacy Macs with ethernet (and or Macs with Airport card that is not compatible with modern WIFI network).
It'll be used for Colour Classic, LC475, G4 Cube, PowerBook 3400, G3 Pismo, G4 MDD, Power Mac 8600 and many more macs via ethernet.
Why USB? So I can run it off from USB port or 5v output Power Adapter.
Why not use Airport card in Cube, G4MDD or PowerBook G3 - because the airport card is incompatible with my modern network, unless I use without a WAP/WEP key but I don't want to due people around me, so easier option is wifi to ethernet bridge.
Wifi receives internet and go via ethernet to Macs and it works!
(Battery Pack indicating that it can be used without mains power hence portable)
