My android smartphone can tether. Can I plug this thing in to provide wifi for my laptop, tablet, etc?

Yes, you can use it via usb tethering. And this is responsible for distributing the signal for wifi

I have found the android app fox-fi to be a life saver try that I highly recommend it...

No you cannot, your device(phone tablet laptopetc.) will pick up the router even allow you to connect but you will have no internet access. it is an effective long lasting router for DSL connection but not for your phone. I bough tone on eBay and I asked the dude if I could use it to relay a 4G signal from my phone he said yes I in turn bought it. After I noticed I couldn't I asked him what was wrong he apologized and said something about a internet card. I kept it for my DSL and it also charges devices.

I you just want a local area network though WiFi and your smartphone has WiFi capability, as well as your other devices, then - Yes. But you don't plug it into anything. The BrainyTrade device creates it's own hot spot for your devices to connect to.

no. If you plug it into your phone, all it will do is charge the phone using its built in battery.

I know of no way to tether to the unit. You need to be connected to a WiFi signal.

YES you can. & even a wireless usb keyboard as well. Its amazing the plethora of device drivers that came preinstalled on this Android device. You'll be suprised that many of these usb devices are plug 'n' play on this android mini pc

Sorry for previous answer...wrong product... Same idea, but can connect to any wifi signal it can reach, provided you have credentials to connect. Device connects directly to what you want to bring the signal to via USB

Hi, Yes provided they both have the software loaded. I made my laptop a "wifi- hotspot," and as such, I can use all my devices, tablets, phones, friends laptops and devices all on the same network. It really works very well.

Well, no, you don't need an Internet connection... It connects via coaxial cable from the wall. Pretty obvious if you look at the product and description/features.What do you mean, "work with an Android tablet"? It's a USB device for desktop computers.You should download the drivers, for one. And the software, unless you have Windows Media Center.

if you mean to connect the tablet to internet? if yes than you donot need because it has built in wifi.

Yes, I use it for transferring data to/from "and" charging my smartphone and tablet.

You can but you need to attach a compatible 3g USB dongle for it to have 3g Internet access

Hi Diana. Use a standard ethernet cable connected to your modem or router. Then at the other of the cable end attach this device. Connect the mini USB end to your tablet turn off the tablet's WiFi. The table should then detect the ethernet network and be able to connect to the Internet. Thanks, Joel

Yes. Think of it as an Android Phone. -Can you connect your Android phone to a wireless network? And can you download Android apps from the marketplace? Those are the two skills you need to make this work.

The model listed that I have is only a modem, so you would need a wireless router in order to connect your phone and tablet.

Yes, you can. This little router can give internet access to any wifi enabled device.

No, there are no capabilities to connect wifi out of the box to a phone device. There is a cable to connect the device as a USB drive only.

If you set up the Cradlpoint to uplink via WiFi, it will work great. Understand that you will then use the MiFi to supply WiFi for your other wireless devices.

I am not sure how it will work on Cricket, but I use tethering no problem on T-Mobile

Don't think so. I have a wireless router in my home so the internal modem in the tablet syncs with my WiFi connection. Sorry I could not be more specific.
