Hi,
Instead, it may be better to set the mobile phone to be used as a mobile hotspot. That would allow connections from Wi-Fi capable computers. In order to make the eMac Wi-Fi capable, an external wireless Ethernet bridge (also known as a gaming or media adapter, such as Linksys WET610N or Netgear WNCE2001) can be connected to the Ethernet port of the computer.
Generally speaking, drivers for USB can be a problem, especially with earlier versions of Mac OS. Through the use of a wireless Ethernet bridge, such difficulties can be avoided.
A modern wireless Ethernet bridge should support the latest wireless security standards.
