Is it necessary to have wifi, ifit operating in order to run the machine manually? Will the machine run without these features?

I never have set up my WiFi or if it on mine. No time to mess with all of that with a 3 year old running around. Hope that helps!

Hello - no, it is not necessary to have WIFI or ifit operating to run the machine. In fact, I just decided to connect the WIFI tonight - assuming it was going to be much more difficult than it was. No big deal - it just connected to my home wifi system. I haven't gotten into ifit yet - but I love the treadmill so far. I wanted to buy a high-end commercial grade treadmill but price kept me from doing that. This is a GREAT alternative for your home.

Yes it will run without wifi hooked up.It functions as a normal treadmill would with additional features should you choose to use them.

No but it is a nice feature and they should get it working for you if you make a big enough fuss

The machine will run like a conventional treadmill. But why pay this much for an ordinary treadmill without the workouts, maps, Google street view, etc. As un-reliable as those features are they're very nice when they work. Ifit is part of the console.

yes... however, mine is connected to wifi. Shortly after we got it, it started an update which froze the computer. When the computer stopped working then the treadmill would not function at all. Proform replaced the computer and it has worked fine ever since. I do not currently subscribe to ifit and the treadmill has been functioning in manual fine for well over a year.

The machine runs fine without WIFI/Ifit.....those are purely add-on benefits.w

It's a standalone unit. You do not need a computer for regular operation. You just need to connect this unit to your network via wired or wireless connection.

You are correct that the WiFi is built in and it works very well. No additional hardware required.

Negative. ..all you need is wifi in your home. Go on the website and register the unit and Download the app on your laptop, then go through the set up , it's real easy.

Yes you do need a Ethernet connection to do the initial set up and any updates also

Hi Wesley,No you don't need a WIDI capable laptop, the device has its own application to connect the devices wirelessly. Additionally, the device comes with an actove USB stick from which you can launch the app in a portable environment (without setup).

You don't actually load anything onto your IFit module -- it all lives on the web. On my treadmill, that means I need a tablet to view the maps, and you need a computer to schedule and create workouts. If you don't renew, you can't log on , and that's it -- brick time!

Not at all. It's just like a home computer. Runs off wifi. Just log in to your home acct or anywhere that has it, which is pretty much every where & ur good to go. I love the one I bought. Very happy

As long as you have WiFi, yes. If all you have is a wired router, then no. You need WiFi since this has no physical ethernet port.

Is the wifi settings on? Is there any networks for you to connect via wifi?

Mine came, as advertised, without wifi capabilities. Requires an Ethernet connection to an Internet connected switch/router.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

it will operate without power, as long as the device has a power adapter of its own. so mostly, it does require power. my machine still sleeps, but it will disconnect the device abruptly, meaning possible data loss.

Stephanie, it has to say iFit on the machine, otherwise it is not. There has to be a SD card slot on the machine also, otherwise if it says iFit, but there is not a slot for the SD card to go, then it is wireless iFit and you have to have the wireless device and pay a subscription. Hope this answers your question.

I have it running on an apple network.... What type of configuration are you planning or what function dobyou want it to perform

Yes, the computer needs to be running. It is powered by the PC and to my knowledge has no internal memory for independent operation , so if it's off it can't send commands.
