what if the hotel only has a wifi connection ? No ethernet connection will this device connect to the internet?

No. It needs to be physically connected to an Ethernet port either through a wall jack or another router.
52442
No, it needs to be hard wired, if there's no cord out of the wall, usually there's a port under the actual phone I've connected to and it has worked

It will not work, Phoenix57237. You may connect to the hotel's wireless connection.
52444
no it wont. You need a wireless bridge for that. I recall TP link has such a device. I did not get it because it do not have 5GHz band

If the hotel has wifi you don't need a wireless router. This is used to create a wireless connection from a wired earthnet connection.

It's not a hot spot or a repeater. It' designed to give you wireless when theres only a network cable available .

Does not need internet connection (except maybe to update maps if needed).. Used this device in Italy, worked like a charm... had no problems... Good luck !

Mine does not have wi-fi built in. There is an ethernet card for a wired connection but you would probably need to add wi-fi.

As long as you have WiFi, yes. If all you have is a wired router, then no. You need WiFi since this has no physical ethernet port.

Yes, it will work if you do not have a wireless card. All you need is a open USB port. This will provide wireless access which will replace your Ethernet cable...

No. It has no Internet connectivity at all, neither wireless nor wired. You could connect a device for that though, such as a Roku or Apple TV.

Yes. You need to have wifi or to connect it to a router with an ethernet cable.

I didn't need a network card, and mine connects to the Internet. There is an ethernet port, as you can see.

I believe so, but you will need a hard wire connection to the internet; the unit does nothave wireless wi-fi.

It didn t work in China where I spent 10 days. My hotel had the ethernet cable in the room but ..nothing. Fortunately, I could use the wifi area to work with the device. I don t know if it will be the same thing in another country. Gianfranco

Hi Diana. Use a standard ethernet cable connected to your modem or router. Then at the other of the cable end attach this device. Connect the mini USB end to your tablet turn off the tablet's WiFi. The table should then detect the ethernet network and be able to connect to the Internet. Thanks, Joel

Sorry but no, this unit only connects to a WIFI network not through an Ethernet connection. For Ethernet connections you need an access point like the AP20000G.

Looks like you have to hook up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I'm going to hold out for a wireless unit.

Yes, this is exactly my primary use case. The router allows to select the hotel wifi, enter login/password, and then shares the internet via its own wifi connection. The only router'a MAC-address is visible by hotel.

As far as I know, neither. It is WiFi only. Another model might have that capability.

you need a wifi connection in your home. if you have a high speed connection, you should have a router. you just need a password that you set up with your phone compaany. there has been no.problem with this tablet. this summmer my husband and i spent three weeks in motels across the country. it connected to all when i used their password. you can use any wifi connection if you have their password. hope t h is helps.

I think you would be served getting a Wi-Fi ethernet adapter, like from Netgear.
