If you already have a wireless router, do you need any additional products to connect the thermostat to the internet?

Looking at the manual there's no indication that the thermostat includes network connectivity.

internet is required ONLY IF you want to use the wifi capabilities of the thermostat.Functionally everything can be done manually from the unit without wifi.With wifi though, you significantly enhance the convenience capabilities.

No, but why spend the money on a "connected" thermostat if you're not going to connect it? Just buy a cheaper programmable one.

Yes, you'll need the Honeywell Redlink Gateway as already mentioned by another responder.

No it does not have to be wired to your router. It will be connected wirelessly. The process takes less than a minute.

No you do not. I personally have some Actiontek modem/router combo. An adapter is just a means to connect to a router, so it is irrelevant as to what the router is. Sometimes matching brands for both is better, but not required. Just make sure both the adapter and router are on the same wireless protocol and bandwidth (the gHz).

Depending on the WiFi network you are trying to attach to, you may or may not need a network key to attach. The console itself doesn't create a WiFi to hook up to. No extra devices are needed to use the WiFi feature other than having wireless internet at home or wherever the intended location may be. You can also use a wired connection with an Ethernet cable, sold separately I'm sure. Hope that answers your question.

Yes of course but you must add a Honeywell THM6000R1002 Red Link Enabled Internet GatewayI had many of those up and running Regards, Martin

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

It doesn't look to me like that model thermostat supports RedLink communication protocol required by this wireless sensor. Go to http://www.forwardthinking.honeywell.com/related_links/thermostats/03-00005.pdf for a comparison of features of the thermostats. The Redlink models can connect to a router for internet access but require a separate Redlink gateway device at the router. The wireless models connect directly to the router.

Need the C wire for wifi. I had an electrician run a new thermostat wire so that I could do it. If you are the owner, you may be able to rerun it yourself. Mine went through the heat flashing and was compressed by a support post and my electrician had the tools to fish a new line.

you do not need anything as long as your router has the standard screw on back, but it is hard to screw on the back of the router. Also it is heavy and keeps falling down but not separating from the router. Make sure yours does not have these deficiencies. I do have clear for my internet which is slow and this makes the difference.

A wired connection to the router is not necessary for setup. However, during setup, you will want the extender, the router, and the computer used for setup to be in fairly close proximity of one another.

If your computer doesn't have a wireless adapter already, you'll need to purchase one to use the wireless feature.If your computer is near the router, you can simply use a cable to the router from the computer.

I never hooked mine up to the existing thermostat. There is one built in to the unit.

From what I see online, I would say no. Thermostat must be Red Link Network enabled.
