wireless internet: The specs say it will Connect wirelessly to a WiFi network or hotspot with built-in 802.11b/g WLAN (No Draft-N on this unit)...what does NO draft-N on this unit mean??

Draft N is a newer, faster wireless internet technology. Chances are that if you've never heard of it, you don't have it and you don't need it. The vast majority of wireless routers these days are b/g, and even N routers have backwards support b/g. For most applications, draft-N is much faster than you'd need. Basically you're good to go for wireless internet on this laptop just about anywhere, assuming you have permissions to access that wireless network.

It's dual band N. It has 2 separate 802.11N based connections. (2.4 Ghz, 5Ghz) And one for G (2.4 Ghz). It offers higher throughput if you have hardware on the other end that supports dualband N.

Hi, Because it only has a D at the end of the model number, it prints duplex (Prints on both sides of the paper) which is what I wanted. They have one with a DN which means it prints Duplex and can be hooked up to a network. In order to be wireless, I think it would have to have a W at the end of the model number.

the N means network card. If it doesn't have a N I do suggest you contact the seller. I know the seller I use 'always' puts a network card in the ones they sell.

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.

On the manufacturers home page it states 2.4 GHz so I am assuming that it only supports 802.11b/g. I would expect them to offer an N class 5 GHz band once the standard has been fully accepted by all manufacturers.

That only means that it is wifi capable. You still have to connect to a wireless network to access the internet.

Sorry if this question seems stupid but could anyone tell me if this model has Wi-Fi capability?

I am assuming 'internet ready' means that its capable of connecting to a WIFI network (much like a Smart TV) but I don't think this model is. The closest it has is a USB port. I have this and a 32" version and neither are connectable to a WIFI network.

If you don't want to have your computer physically connected by wire to an internet connection, and you want to go on the Internet, you need wifi. That way you can use your computer and get on internet everywhere there is wifi. Doesn't make sense any more to get a laptop without wifi. Hope this clarifies.

Wireless implies that it's not "hard wired" to the internet. It receives signal via WIFI. The cable shown is. USB cable used to power and program the units.

this unit has a built in wireless modem...so you should be able to connect to any wireless network. It also has an Ethernet connection. So you have two ways to connect to the internet with this machine.

Yes, WiFi is built-in, and can connect to 802.11b/g/n networks with flexible security options. Mine worked perfectly. The unit also includes an Ethernet port.

Yes, it does. "Ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g/n) for accessing home and corporate networks as well as hotspots while on the go." It's in the description.

The WET610N only acts as a wireless media connector (passthrough) which allows your Ethernet-only devices to connect wireless to your WiFi network. It does not have advanced settings like port forwarding.

It does not have a built in wireless adapter. However, if you attached to it an external wireless adapter, it can pick wifi hotspots, and that is what I have done.

My Buffalo unit is independent of the internet. It is connected via an RJ-45 network plug to my computer. The internet is just another component of my network. If anything fails on the network, everything else is still OK.
