You need internet access wifi/3g/4g to register and down load software or additional software purchased . To actually use on vehicle you only need blue tooth

When you buy the dongle you have to download the app (free) and then register the serial # of the dongle with Launch. So you need a way to get online to register it and get updates. However once you are ready to use it, the dongle and your device communicate via bluetooth with no need for the internet or wi-fi. Note: there are two different dongles - one for IOS and one for android!

NO! Because the device is its own ADHOC Transmitter. With the "air-port" app on your chosen device and the wireless section enabled or turned on and your device set to scan for local wi-fi signal connect to it. However, you need to configure the wireless device first. I can see from the other comments that people do not understand how this device functions! I may have to make a how to video for this device..

The scanner will work wirelessly as well, although you will have to hunt down the latest drivers on the Epson site the disc is out of date.

I believe it should scan any barcode you might have. It connects through Bluetooth if I remember correctly. It comes with a USB attachment for a wireless connection option as well. Doesn't work well for mobile devices though since unless you resolve the keyboard conflict.

It should I do not see why not the only thing is the signal of the wifi needs to be strong you will be able to check the signal quality and strength once you download the software.

The scanner has a usb plug, and should come with said cable...all you do is hook up the cable to an available usb port on your computer.Install the cd that came with the scanner first...and it does automatic updates.

Since you asked the question, you are not prepared to program this scanner. The comments made by Al Buterol on 4/7/2014 are right on target. Go one step further and purchase it from the vendor fully programmed for your area of use. Good luck.

This unit allows you to scan items to cloud services over the internet as opposed to the other units which are hard wired with USB. If you want to scan directly to your computer then you should purchase the cheaper models as the wifi in this unit will not scan direct to your machine over wifi, you must connect the scanner with a USB cable to scan directly to your PC.

I don't see why the WiFi scanner wouldn't work with your phone. As long as you can surf the net on your phone it is possible.

If you bought the wifi module the cards are not needed. You will need to set up an account with ifit

Yes, the HP iPaq 5915 has WiFi, but I've found web surfing is real slow. It's a problem for me because I check email on the web. So I just check email with my laptop like usual, but it's possible to do with the iPaq.

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!

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

Yes, I live where there is no computer access. Only thing is I may need a HDTV signal filter because when I turn on my new TV it causes a lot of static on the scanner to the point I have to turn the scanner off to watch TV. The scanner works great without the HDTV on. I'll call Radio Shack, maybe they can help me.

If you're running Windows 7 it should load the driver. I don't remember any software coming with it. I simply plugged in the Bluetooth receiver and windows did the rest. Be sure to follow the instructions which are a bit difficult to read as the interpreter may not have had a firm grasp on the English language. The scanner will scan strait into an Excel spread sheet however.

No wifi card needed....my pc doesnt have one either and this work great! You may need to download the installation program from the Realtek website if your adapter didnt come with an installation cd. It's a free download from Realtek if you need it.Good Luck!
