will this device allow me to tether?

I think that tethering is related to a wireless hotspot given by your phone, and I don't believe is a bluetooth signal. Tethering your phone (if Iphone) requires a monthly payment on your phone plan, I think. Tethering your Android phone is free, should be an app you can install or something. Overall answer: no this will not help you.

what do you mean by tether? but i use this adapter to link with my cellphones's internet to the laptop so that i can have the internet on my laptop. so this device connects my cell to my laptop via the bluetooth.

No, it doesn't ...don't quote me on this but I think Bluetooth technology is ok for streaming audio (music) and transferring documents and small files, but I've never heard of tethering (Data transfer would be way to slow) via Bluetooth.

Yes it can,if you use the tether anchor.I love it. Check out YouTube videos, I did before I bought.

I don't know of any reason why it won't. This device is tricky to set up so be patient.

Rhema; Yes, you can use this. What you will have is an ethernet connection. The speed of your internet will not keep this device from working.

You have to apply a app for the tether to work like google to phone for the laptop.

If I have an exisiting Wireless Network, can this device connect to it wirelessly?

I have used it with Win7 with no issues. I have used it with just one connection on either tether with no operating problems.

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

You can set it up to serve as a hot spot tether, but the phone company charges to allow you to let your phone serve as a hot spot. It is called tethering.

Maybe. The device has a standard RJ45 connector. But it will require some work to make it accessible through the internet (firewall, setup of client s/w).

Probably not. You have to see if the D LINK device supports port-multiplier on it's own USB out. Should the device have a eSATA port then it might be worth a try.

I have not been using it that way, and I understand tethering is your best technical option for sharing your cell connection.

Make sure you have a proper cable with a repeater on it. I am a side photographer and get my cables from tether tools on amazon. I'm able to use it and keep the adapter high on my house for best conection.

Yes, it will allow you to connect your desktop to a wireless router. That is what it is for. It is "dual" band because now routers sometimes come as dual band routers and you can then connect to either band. Of course, it will not give you "free" internet service where none is available. If the RV park has internet service that you have to pay for, you will still have to pay for it ... but at least this adapter will allow you to get the wireless service.

Not a easy question to answer but the answer is yes if you have the supporting set up on your device

Hi Tina! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is yes! These tethers will plug into the universal sized headphone jacks on your device. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link:

You are still going to need a service provider. This device would take the signal from a cable modem, DSL modem or other RJ45 network connection.
