Hey, I wanted to know. do you just have to enter your Port number to have an internet connection? Thank you!

I don't know what you are referring to by "Port number", all I needed to do (once only) was set the account settings in my Internet provider's email interface (or got the Internet's provider to do it when they connected me) but I've always used Comcast or Att & T. If you use Yahoo or Gmail I think you only need to provide them your email address 1 time when you sign up for the service.

Yes, you just open the settings menu and choose the hotspot you want to connect to. Sometimes you then have to open the browser and accept the provider's "terms of use" to be fully connected. I've used mine at several restaurants and other places that have free wi-fi hotspots.Also, if it's a protected network, you'll have to know the password to connect.

Well, very good question. I mean it' kinda cute for a net book computer but the really why I say it sucks cuz when I got it. I was so exited but when I tryed to go online. That's where I think the problem got started. I tryed to go to Internet connections. Then put in the wifi passcode but I guess didn't work. So after so so many attempts. I gave up on it. Hope the review helped.

It does not get internet from a port, USB or ethernet. It connects to the internet via WI-fi from your router. Then it rebroadcasts that wifi-signal, functioning as a repeater. Optionally, it has an Ethernet port to which you can connect a PC, gaming console, etc. using it as a wi-fi adapter. This way to can connect a device like a Blue Ray player, Game console or even a PC without wi-fi to the internet.Very versatile device.

No, it doesn't. However, you might want to check with your admin, some ports might be disabled in your current set up.

I have it on my boat plugged into a Lenovo notebook w/Win7 Pro. It shows up in my iPhone and android tab but will not connect to the internet until I change the setting to connect to my marina. Please advise. On advice from Alpha, this should work.

Hi Melissa its exactly like the others have said. I use this on a ship as a reapeater and have had a very good experience with it. When the ship goes to other ports all i do is connect to it and change where i am getting the signal from takes about 10 minutes and i have internet again. It has a very strong signal and will transmit though steel at least enoufh for me to use it.

Yes it does have internet connection - I believe that it is in the back toward the bottom. Yes - you when installed it shows up in the network - we added our emails to the address book - we are a very small company. I have to say I have used this and have been very pleased with the product. Very nice legible scans, does both sides nicely also. The only complaint I can possibly have is that I have to tell it not to do both sides when I am scanning - not a big deal at all and there may be a way to bypass that and I just haven't bothered to follow through with looking because it is so minor. I give it 4 1/2 stars at least. Good luck with what you choose. Yes it does have internet connection - I believe that it is in the back toward the bottom.

It has a port forwarding configuration, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I haven't tried all that hard, though.

It does have an access point mode, but it requires that you run a cable from the WAN port into one of the LAN ports. I don't want to give up a LAN port, so I just leave it in router mode, assign a static IP address, and turn off DHCP. It generates an internal notification that it can't connect to the Internet, but it otherwise works as you would expect, providing a second wireless access point on your network.

I did choose my local area code. I do not know whether it works or not if you do not input an area code. Thanks.

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.

No idea. You may need to call up your internet provider for definite answer.

Sorry my respoce took so long been sick and in the hospital. To answer your qusetion I'm using ver. 10.0.0.217, and I had a lot of problems geting wifi to work until I read the directions and let the options in settings set up my connection and at first I was trying to connect to a win xp machine ( they say you can't but I was able to access the xp machine, but it didn't get my internet conection ) so afer that I satrted fresh and read the directions and ( very easy by the way ) used and win 7 machine to try the hookup and it work like a charm. If you have any questions contact me.

First, do you have telephone service through the internet? If so, you don't need to connect to a modem, just connect to a phone line that your base unit is connected to. If you plan to use another type of internet phone system then you would have to read their instructions for connections. This unit is made to connect to standard phone lines. If they are connected to the internet then they will work just as the base unit.
