Raspberry Pi Pico W Turned Into USB Wi-Fi Adapter
A developer has created firmware that turns a Raspberry Pi Pico W into a USB Wi-Fi adapter. The project, hosted on GitLab, uses the Pico W's RP2040 chip and Wi-Fi module. It allows the $6 board to add wireless connectivity to any device with a USB port.

While clever, this DIY adapter likely won't match the performance or ease of a commercial USB Wi-Fi dongle, but it's a neat hack for tinkerers.
