is it using wimax technology

Yes, my Phonon does use wimax in my area. Specifically it operates through Clear and its coverage area. If you're in an area with a strong signal the Phonon works O.K. However, it is somewhat slow and it is sensitive to surrounding structures. I have coverage but is somewhat weak. I had to drive to the tower and drove home in order for the unit to hold the signal. I've had to tape it to a window in order to hold a signal. I've since switched to a FreedomPop hub which finds and holds the 4G signal much better but it's not as portable as the Photon. For the cost of the unite and rate per Gig it's worth it provided you shop and compare pricing through FreedomPop. Be aware of the auto charges for extra services that come along with FreedomPop.

Sorry, it is too new and I have not yet used this features. I have purchased it for overseas use where wifi is not available.

I apologize I'm not sure. I'm using 802.11n which has a greater range and is also faster than 802.11g.

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

As far as I know, neither. It is WiFi only. Another model might have that capability.

You don't have to get it. I've never purchased WiMax and don't know anyone who has.

I don't think so. I use an Ethernet connection. I looked around, but see no evidence of wi-fi connectivity.

I don't see any difference in my wifi signal. I don't know if I am using it correctly because there is no improvement in reception. The directions that come with it are very confusing.

I don't think so honestly when connected with the wire it automatically gets all your wifi info

No it is a router. Some form of wifi or ethernet has to be available For it to do its job.

Yes, it is, using the iwlwifi driver. Although, you may or may not have the problem described here, fixed by the listed patch which may or may not be integrated into the main line kernel by now: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134871

Yes it is. The unit is basically "plug and play". I was up and running in about 15 minutes. You do have the option to change the wifi channel it uses as well as some other adjustments, but it's ready to go right out of the box.

No. The latest one out has it now. Which I didn't know. But hey I am fine. If you have a Sams Club they have the latest with the WiFi. Hope this helps.

It uses WiMax. Only Sprint network support it. It would NOT work on AT&T; network.
