Hi Frank! The network card is a full function one (I never have sen one with restricted use as you mentioned). You should be able to do anything on a network you wish with this one.

This is what allows the computer to get on-line. Yes, it will allow you to surf the web and play on-line games.

It's a network card. It connects you to a network. The Internet is a network. If you have an internet connection you can connect to the Internet. If you can connect to the Internet you can surf and play games online.

This is a regular Ethernet card, you use it to replace the one on your motherboard if that stopped working or you want to upgrade. It lets you access the Internet, surf online, play games, anything you would normally do. You can use it to transfer data between a server and your pc if needed as well

It fully connects you to the internet by plugging an ethernet cable into the port on the card. So whatever you would normally be able to do (minus network and router/modem restrictions) should work...as long as you have a service provider.

If I remember you need Internet to set it up initially and to download any games, music, or pictures but it just plugs into your computer. Otherwise you can just buy the cartridges.

Hello, FRANKLIN SPRINGER.I have used it with the Internet and DLNA and that last one does not have more of downloading 10Mbps and promotion when in the description is selling like high-speed even of 300Mbps.Try to use it in the USB ports with hard drive of 1TB and also gave the same downloading speed and promotion.The reference it mistakes telephony in the description and I thought it was a servers and SIP for customers only SIP.The truth is the high cost is preferable to buy a Buffalo for the same price, and even less since the end just use wireless Internet for DNLA since it does not do me at that speed.

This does not have a built in modem, the only advice I can give you for finding a built in Modem/Router is to look for a Router built for Gaming, they are always the best as online gaming requires large amounts of data flow, out and in. Myself personally, I would never combine the two. Reason, because if one goes out, they both go out. At least if the router quits working you can still Ethernet into the modem and get online.

Would not recommend as an internet machine. Has basic functionality but not the greatest. Better as a game platform.

I do not use the system that works through this modem for gaming and thusly can't provide a solid answer. However, this modem certainly does not seem to act as a bottle neck with respect to intermittent video downloads and general internet use.

You can still use it but you just can't go online or anything that require Wi-Fi/internet. Hope this answer your question. :)

No you need internet. If your going to get one i would get a magic jack instead. Net talk has no support

You only need to connect to the internet for the initial install. After it is installed you can play online or offline.

No and it is not good on the Internet. You can use a USB had or thumb drive but t It doesn't do much else.

Yes you can. Straight stream from it to twitch. Or you can use it to capture and use another program to stream.

I would not recommend you to buy this computer to play online games for the main purpose. Graphic card is slow.

I think you might be referring to a card that would allow your computer to connect online through a cellphone network. It is a more elegant soloution than a clunky USB "dongle" that many cellphone companies use, but the very best soloution for portable surfing is in the newest cellphones that allow "tethering" wirelessly. That often is much less expensive in per-month charges than either the dongles or a built-in card.

You can play your games offline. It hooks up directly to your TV and your Xbox.

I made a mistake. It can be used to access the internet from your phone and your laptop. However you may be very disappointed in the overall performance of this device. I certainly have been.
