I'd use cat5 hardwire to your router firmware usually fails with wi-fi and it is basically useless if you don't update the firmware when asked. But mine is a couple of years old it may have changed since then.

No,but if you want a wired connection, if your Wi Fi signal is weak you can plug in to your Wi Fi with a Ethernet cable, it depends how far away you are from the Modem unit and the ability of your modem. The DVR works Good. Ken

It has an ethernet port where you can plug in a cord for wired internet access.It does not have the capability of connecting to the internet wirelessly unless you purchase a dongle and plug it in.

Suggest going on the internet to find the manual. (I couldn't find mine.) The word "ready" in "Wi-Fi ready" is a tip-off that you need something else to make it work. I have mine hardwired with a cable.

You will need to buy a dongle or something similar to connect to your wifi. I haven't bothered, but I think you only get access to a limited number of sites on the internet.

I'm not really sure what your question is. The unit comes with a built in Wi-Fi connection or you can buy a ethernet to USB adapter and connected to the Internet that way. I hope that answers your question.

No you don't need internet at all the way it works is its a hard drive but instead of using a usb cable to connect to the hard drive this drive uses wifi.To connect to the drive wirelessly you need the android app or the iOS version, now if you have internet on your phone or tablet the drive works as a hot spot but this is an additional feature it works well without Internet.

No. If you need to access wifi, you need to have a wifi adapter to plug in to the computer. I prefer wired speeds, personally, so mine is plugged in to my router directly, but I could use a wifi adapter to connect to my wifi network if I wanted to.

This is only a modem. If you need to connect to the internet over wifi, you need to connect the modem to a router that supports wifi.

Ethernet and wifi are two different ways to access Internet. If you have Internet through your ethernet cable, you don't need wifi. You might need login details to have access to your school's website, not wife.

If I'm understanding correctly, you're asking if this is the only thing you'd need to have wireless? Technically no, since it has to be paired up with a modem.

If your question is, do you need one? The answer is no, but you can use one to update firmware, and connect to all of the features that are available when you connect it to the internet (featured on the page). I've used these features rather infrequently, and therefore only plug it in occasionally. There isn't a "wifi" feature built in if that was your question also. Hope this helped!

The laptop does have an ethernet connection port to be able to hard wire to the internet. You don't need to have wifi. You also can get a router to connect your internet cable modem to which would then become your own wifi. Check with your local electronics store e.g. Best Buy for assistance.

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

U have to have internet to have WiFi. If u do have internet that isn't wireless u would have to get a router to hook up to ur internet to obtain wireless internet.

it needs a wifi connection to the phone. it acts as it's own router though, so nothing extra is needed. I love this thing I use it to run wires in the roof.

its not absolutely necessarry but you do need access to wifi whether its your own or from a wifi hot spot. This way you can access all the inetrnet stuff form your tab

As the others stated, it does require an ethernet cable to connect to the internet or to other devices in your house.

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.

No, you don't need to wifi to make it work. But if you want to monitor from anywhere, then you need Internet connection. Remote access needs configuration, I use a free dynamic dns NO-IP.com to connect to Internet. Drawback is I have to activate service each month.
