Are there any adapters that would allow me to connect asterisk to wifi or we are not there yet?
I have Digium adapter S101i that was discontinued but similar device that would connect to wifi network and a cell phone would be handy.

All you need is a Wi-Fi interface for your computer, or a wired
Ethernet adapter for Wi-Fi. Such as any of these on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/b?node=13983791

Asterisk doesn't care whether it is wired or wireless, it is just
talking via IP over your network interface. The s101i was an IAX to
Analog adapter that also communicated with Asterisk over IP.

Connecting a cell phone directly to Asterisk is a whole different
story. Do you mean an actual cellular device such as a GSM cell phone?
Or do you mean a phone that connects to a 802.11 Wi-Fi signal?

Just realized I linked to USB to Wi-Fi adapters, but that works too.

Most cell phone don't have a USB port but you are correct, maybe I just need IAX2 soft-phone like:
Zoiper - it works on most of the platforms.
I think Zoiper registers directly with Asterisk IAX2 (if configured) as an extension, isn't it?

If your cellphone is capable of a Wi-Fi connection and you can find a
softphone such as zoiper that will run on it, yes it could talk
directly to Asterisk via IAX2 protocol. A softphone could also talk to
Asterisk over other protocols such as SIP.

The configuration will depend on whether you are trying to connect
over a local wireless LAN, or from the Internet back to your server.

Here is a tutorial that features zoiper:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Hello+World

The tutorial assumes you are running Zoiper on the PC, but setting it
up should be similar.

I used zoiper the setup was easy and I like IAX protocol; easier to setup over the firewall.
I codec options are: (g723|gsm|ulaw|alaw|g729|speex|ilbc)

I think g723 or g729 are not free so my only options are gsm, ulaw, alaw.
Since the connection goes over the WAN and wifi, I'm limited to gsm.
