will this serve as a hotspot for other devices?

Yes, tethering it from T-Mobile network works. But, FYI, doing so violates the T-Mobile User Agreement. I have no idea whether they would notice, care, or punish you for doing that.

The manual for the Slate 7 HD mentions tethering and hotspot options; however, there are no such options under "wireless & networks" on my unit. Perhaps one or more cellphone providers do indeed offer the Slate 7 HD with hotspot capability to customers willing to pay for the service.

The option is present on the one I have. I am on Tmobile and using the free 200 megabytes. HP Slate 7 HD, Android 4.2.2 kernel 3.4.5

Depends on which plan you get from T-Mobile, but to answer your question, yes, it can.

You can use it as a client or access point. It can be set as a repeater via was. But that will only work with the m5 line of ubiquity equipment.

Not on its own. You will need to connect it to a router or other device that gives USB devices access to the network.

Yes. It will join any available network. Just might have to tweak a few settings.

No, unfortunately our devices do not have a 'Relay' feature. If your devices have been connected to all 3 networks, your device will remember the profile of the network and will connect to it if the signal is stronger than the signal it is currently on.

Yes, this device has multiple modes and can be connected to hotel room network jack and will create a WiFi signal to have your own personal wireless hotspot so you can connect your laptop, cell phone, iPad, etc. wirelessly to this TP-LINK.

Yes you can. It extends whatever signal you give it. You can use you phone as a Hotspot and then give it more range with this. Your phone would then act as a modem or router, basically.

You can only use this as a hotspot with the $70/mo plan *and* purchase the additional $15/mo plan to enable this functionality. It will not work as a hotspot with the $30/mo plan.

That probably won't be possible because each device hooked up to the adapter will be fighting for an IP address. Each device needs an adapter, you're going to need a device called an access point to do what you're asking.

Maybe. The device has a standard RJ45 connector. But it will require some work to make it accessible through the internet (firewall, setup of client s/w).

It does work as a Wi-Fi hotspot if you download one of several Wi-Fi hotspot apps. At least one of the apps is free. Another user has posted a YouTube video with the instructions.

Yes, the phone is capable of acting as a hot spot. The issue is whether your carrier will enable this use of the device. Some companies specifically state that your device cannot be used in this manner due to the high amount of data usage it requires. However, the phone definitely has that capability.

As long as the device sees and can connect it should not matter if its a cell router or home, speed and bandwidth would be a factor and be careful as streaming sucks up a ton of data and you may go over your plan.

This device can function as an access point/router. So if your friends house lacks wireless you can create a wireless network. Then if you have devices which can connect to said network you should be able to use his internet connection. Now if he already has an wireless access point/router you could also use this as a wireless client/wireless Ethernet bridge to connect to said network.I would consider the hootoo tripmate as a second option.

I don't see why not. It's just another network device with an IP address like any other.

Theoretically, if you can feed it an internet connection, yes. Then it can transmit wirelessly to your other devices. You are better off making your cellphone a hotspot.

yes it will work as an access point ..but for phones or laptops to connect you need to disable airmax
