No it doesn't have wifi capability, has to be wired to network or buy a usb wifi network adapter

Depends on how strong the WiFi is. sometimes the WiFi is weak on the tablet. it doesnt ;always pick it up. One of my friends has verizon mifi. it doesnt like that wifi .

Yes among other things. You will also need to hook your modem up to a wireless router. This little thing enables you to receive an internet signal from the wireless router.

No unless you have the 3G. It picks up on wi-fi. So if you have wi-fi in your home, then it will use that. Just like your laptop when it picks up neighbors networks. Going down the road you wont have internet because you wont have wi-fi. I think the specifications are around 6-10 hours. Im not sure, have not looked at them since I bought them. Just google and it will tell you.

I'm not sure if you mean internet or ethernet. This is a router and uses either a WiFi signal or a CAT5 ethernet to create a hotspot for your devices with NAT. It will not act as a larger antenna to bring in WiFi where there is no WiFi. If there is WiFi nearby that your devices are not seeing, look for a wireless antenna such as Radio Labs.

This item is just a router. You will still need a modem to bring internet into the house.

I had one and I think it needed Internet however it wasn't what I expected . Bulky and not that easy to use . Good luck!&#128526;&#127797;

Good question. Well it has to be connected to a modem or router that's connected to the Internet Mary.

Plug in. Check your wifi network. It should have picked it up. Use whatever operating system you have to locate it and put on the netweork if it does not authomatically get connected. Mine has worked very well in a far bedroom and shows up on my network in Windows 7.

I actually don't know how Comcast Wifi internet works. I think this modem only connects through Comcast cable. You will need another router to have wireless signals.

Yes it's Internet ready if you have wifi you don't even have to plug the cable in. Good luck.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

It doesn't provide wifi *at all*. This is a DSL modem for hooking other stuff up to the Internet. What you're looking for is a wireless access point (WAP). These days they usually come integrated with a switch (4+ Ethernet jacks for connecting things without wifi or that run better over wires - you may want this), and a router (key feature is DHCP, which hands out addresses to devices - you probably need this).If you don't have an Internet connection, or you do but you already have something to hand it off to other devices, you don't want this modem/router.

It must have internet access to a modem via a router or switch. I have mine connected to a switch which is connected to a router which in turn is connected to the modem.

No, this is just a wifi distributor of internet. To fetch information from internet, you will need either a) an RJ45 (ethernet) cable that is already connected to an internet source. or b) a usb 4g modem (like T-mobile Jet). So, in short, this just adds wifi convenience.

As long as you have internet access via some type of modem (cable, dsl etc.), yes, you absolutely will. This wireless router let's you set up a wireless network in your house and any device that has wifi capabilities such as smart phones, tablets, laptop or desktop computers with wifi, will be able to connect to the router and have internet access.
