No. It only gives you security for an open wifi like at a hotel or boosts an existing wifi signal.

It only extends a wifi signal; nice in hotel with a cat-5 cable allowing only one thing to be connected... this unit when plugged in can service at least 10 more w/out the hotel being the wiser !! and it's secure..

No, you will need to add a wifi card to your computer. This will simply extend the range if your network connection. You need to get a network connection first. Check to make sure your wifi isn't turned off on your computer most computers built in the last five years org so have wifi capabilities. Your owners manual may help as well.

It creates a private network or extends coverage of an existing network. It doesn't create a connection to the internet. I think you are looking for a mobile hotspot.

By itself, no. It merely boosts signal range. You'll want to get a wifi card or USB wifi stick to plug into a USB port if you don't have built in wireless internet.

No. A router won't help actually. You need a laptop with a WiDi (wireless display) chipset already built in. That's the only way.

Nope. No WiFi. It's a USB cable directly into the computer. They don't recommend you use a hub.

No. This device is used to provide wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) to a computer that does not have it.

This will work as a stand alone connection to your wireless router. It will not work in conjunction with your existing internal wifi card. I would suggest getting a external antenna for your wifi card that is already built into your PC to utilize that connection with your router. If you can't find or get an antenna for it, purchasing this would be your best bet. Just know that it will not work with your already existing internal card, but will be it's own connection to the router.

I was new to Wifi also. You have to purchase and install a router that connects to your desktop PC and ( if applicable) your cable modem.

if you ask about the adapter in your computer and your computer doesnt has a wireless network adapter, then the answer is yes, otherwise you can connect the pc with a cable

I don't believe so. it's been a while since I set mine up but I think I had to connect it to my computer 1st, run the disk, tell it what network to connect to and give it the network password before it could access my router via Wi-Fi. I also had to make some changes to my router settings.

Yes, plug it into your USB and install the software and you will have super fast wifi. It works great.

You should be able to...works with my laptop. But WHY would you want a PC running on WiFi? Instead of just hard-wired??

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.

You will need to buy a dongle or something similar to connect to your wifi. I haven't bothered, but I think you only get access to a limited number of sites on the internet.

I need wifi for my computer. Can this be used for getting my wifi? Iam new at a computer this is my first one. And I need all the help that I can get to use my computer.

honestly I am not sure. I use a wired connection. but you can purchase a wifi signal booster that plugs into usb, these usually have software built right in that works with windows to let u connect to any wireless signal within range.

If you have a WIFI setup for other devices, this will make any computer wireless. Only for one device.

No, I do not think so. It needs to connect to WiFi or an Ethernet connection.

On it's own, it doesn't have wireless connection, or Ethernet connection.But maybe you can connect it through a PC that will server you for this purpose, and that will be connect to the network.
