From a technical POV, hard wire is always better. I use wifi but the phone and router are in the same room. However, I don't see a network cable port on the phone.

Wireless implies that it's not "hard wired" to the internet. It receives signal via WIFI. The cable shown is. USB cable used to power and program the units.

Ethernet is only if you are going to hard wire to the internet. Most people have a wireless modem and hook up their computer that way, thus no wire.

Hard Internet wire is when you use the supplied ethernet wire that comes with this device directly to your Internet modem. Wireless wifi is when you configure your device to receive Internet connection without phydically attaching an ethernet wire between this device and your modem. Also hard wire connection doesnt need configuration. You plug the wire and start watching.

Not sure I follow. It does have a hard line connection if you want. My wireless router for the house Wi-Fi is downstairs. This left no possible way to hard line connect. The Netgear extender is plugged in to a wall socket upstairs and amplifies the signal from weak to excellent, allowing a Wi-Fi connection for my computer to connect to.

yes, it is wi-fi ready, you don't have to hard wired it to connect to your home router.

No. It has an integrated wireless antenna. Your router can be anywhere in the house.

It works as a hot spot for any device with Wifi capability. But you'll need to have Clearwire in your area.

Don't see why not. Since it can be programmed via cable, there should be no reason it wouldn't work, but that isn't what it is designed for. It is a specialty piece of electronics specifically designed to pick up wifi and expand it. You could just buy any router if you want to hard wire it, don't need a special piece like this.

I dont know. My zip is 38562. But I travel and have never had a problem with signal strength.

If it is hard wired in there won't be a problem. If you are use it with the Wi-Fi it will depend on the signal strength. If it is weak it will cut in and out.

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

To my understanding you will not have wifi in the middle of nowhere. If your laptop is not "wifi" ready, it will make it "wifi" ready.

Yes it will do what you want only problem if you go to multiple locations you would always have to enter the web interface to change the wireless access information, other than that it is basically great for what you need it to do. I did email the developer to upgrade the firmware so that it could store multiple ssid to auto connect to whatever is in range so far no reply.

Yes it must be hardwired, but only two wires must be connected. If I did it anyone can. Good luck
