do you need to buy something for the wifi?

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

Nothing to buy as long as you have wireless access where you are connecting the unit.

No, I did a lot of research before I purchased this computer. I didn't bother to look for built in wifi as it is such a common feature. I expected it to be in there but it wasn't. Great computer other than that. PS Wifi dongles are cheap!

Nope, it comes WiFi ready. As long as you have wireless capabilities at your house, you're good to go.

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!

Yes you will need some type wi fi adapter or wireless card. The older versions are not wi fi.

I just bought this and no it is not wi-FI ready. But don't worry. You won't have to get a WI FI card. You can purchase a USB wi-FI booster that normally comes with the disc and driver necessary for it to work. And depending on what type of power supply you buy, is really useful. What I recommend is getting a wireless-n USB adapter. Technically called the SL-3504N. But that's a mouthful lol.

I would buy a router. The main purpose of this unit is to extend the wireless signal so you get greater coverage of your WiFi network.

No. You need to buy one (check out the Amazon frequently bought together list -- the Intel one is good). Also, be sure to hook the internal antenna up to your wireless card. I am sure I was the only person who didn't do this, but just in case it will save you a few minutes. ;)

Like others have said, you buy and download books with the wifi. But, you can read it off of it. By the way, there are newer versions of this ereader that are just as economical. Good luck with whatever you do.

No. If you have a wireless connection, chances are you don't need anything else. I did, however, as I am using a free-wireless connection and don't have access to the main router. I just hooked the connector to my laptop and created a Nintendo-exclusive access point for both my DS and Wii.

No. The computer doesn't include wifi. However we did pay extra for technical support. It is really irrelevant what the issue was with the computer; when you purchase a computer, you don't expect to waste an entire day getting transferred around when you actually need technical support.

No, sadly not. There are wifi hotspots that you can purchase, but it is strictly wifi connected

Need to buy wi-fi thru some carrier like AT&T; or Verizon until and unless you going to hook up the device to your home wi-fi ...

No you can't use WiFi. You have to go buy a cable at an electronics store or computer section in a big store.
