Do I need to have internet access to use this? I'm finding that a lot of embroidery machines need it and I don't have access to wifi where I live.

No you do not need the Internet, some designs are preprogrammed and for others that you purchased you will need a USB.. Hope this helps...

Well, you would only need the internet for updates to the software. That is seldom. The internet will not dictate or impede your creativity what so ever. But, it is nice to have the updates to help to stay on top of the cool new changes for the software.

The quick answer is no it doesn't have to be connected to the internet .There are many way to use this printer. One if the nice things and I would guess this is more your question does it have to be connected to a WiFi network. I really like this printer. It prints beautiful photos.

You need Wifi to buy books and apps online or surf the net. If you use reeder only you don't need WiFi, you always can transfer books and other stuff from your computer.

It is better to do that ... I am not sure though why you need it if your laptop built-in wifi is working. If you are gonna use it it is better to stick to using it the time to avoid IP issues.

Yes, will work without an internet connection. Either use the APE to create a wireless network, or join the APE to your existing wireless network

You only need internet to set it up and if you want to download games from the LeapPad website. It has to be plugged in to have internet. No WiFi.

In the time that I used it, I didn't have internet. It has the internet app but in order to use it, I needed to take it to my cell phone service provider to have it programmed.

That is really a networking question, the printer is capable of doing this. If it is plugged directly in to the internet with no router (which I doubt) then you just need to put your computer at home to the internet ip address of the store. If its connected to the router (most likely) then you need to setup port forwarding on the router (or a VPN which is the better question) this is probably something that you need a IT person for especially if you deal with credit cards or sensitive customer information.

Without an internet provider you cannot use this device. That is where your connection comes from.

You don't need the Internet to use the innotab 2. You only need it to download/buy games from their site. It comes with a few games preinstalled and there are tons of cartridges you can buy so you should be fine without the Internet.

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

No, you have to be on the internet to use it. The tech people are really good at setting it up for you.

I'm not sure if you actually need internet access. I don't think you do. I have it connected to my network in the back of my building and I have the software installed in my workstation in my office. Whenever I open the software it connects to the clock and downloads the punches. I have to say, from the reviews I read before buying it, I wasn't very convinced it was going to work, but I'm very happy with how well it works and how easy it was to set up. I'm running windows 7 but I think it should work with XP too. I hope it helps!

Good idea. I think you'll be fine without Internet, because through the app you program the device - not an app speaking to the device. If you create rules with IFTTT, rather than the belkin app, you will need an internet connection.

Internet is necessary. Some apps come with it. Mine crashed about 2 weeks after I got it. I'm returning it and hopefully the next one will be fine. Happy New Year!
