I have no signal at our cabin. If I go about a quarter of a mile down the road I can get a signal. My question is do I have to have internet to use

No,the db pro is basicly your own tower system,powered by just a regular outlet,as long as you have service outside your building you should have service,make sure you get it mounted as high as the top of your house and point it were the main tower is,good luck

You don't need an internet connection, but someone within a 1/2 mile of you has to have an unsecured wi-fi internet connection. We use it at campgrounds who offer hotspots at the office. We like to have a site far away from the office and this allows us to pick up their signal.

GPS can absolutely be used without wifi access. I used this the other day on my way to work in my car. It's great!

Took my express on the road for the first time and though it worked at home ... It was green on the road in the hotel but my Internet would not connect. Not on my ipad2 or another computer. Wondering if I screwed up the setup...any tricks during setu?

Anyways if i turn everything on for wifi and everything on for gps and i was just connected to my home network but im driving away and i lost the signal, well with wifi on and gps on, will the maps work? or will the phone give an accurate location to where I am?

No unless you have the 3G. It picks up on wi-fi. So if you have wi-fi in your home, then it will use that. Just like your laptop when it picks up neighbors networks. Going down the road you wont have internet because you wont have wi-fi. I think the specifications are around 6-10 hours. Im not sure, have not looked at them since I bought them. Just google and it will tell you.

No. It does not need internet to work, but if you phone is dead (no battery power) it cannot respond when you press the button on the key-fob that would normally make your phone signal (beep, bong, ring, ding or otherwise sound according to your choice).

Sorry I am a bit late with my answer, we are in Micronesia on the outer islands, we had no internet for almost 2 months, I just tried it out, and for me it scans all the channels available, we have the radio for more then 2 years now and are very happy with it, very small and light, easy to take with you. Hope it answers your question, regards, Eddy

I don't use WiFi to get online to anything. Only time I turn it on, is if I have a poor area maybe.

Yes among other things. You will also need to hook your modem up to a wireless router. This little thing enables you to receive an internet signal from the wireless router.

It will fly, but you can also have a fly away. Why do you think you have no GPS signal? Satellite signals everywhere.

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

No. Just connect direct to tv and then plug in black box to outlet. I believe you can get signals up to a 75 or 150 mile radius. All I know I get up 89 channels.

Dear Amazon Buyer, no, it does not have to be connected to internet. Only if you want to remotelly monitor via Apps or any other devise logged to internet. As an additional information all camera cables are same lenght so from console all cameras will be at same distance but in desired directions. It is not WiFi ready.

Verizon says it doesn't work with Satellite internet connections, something about too much latency in the signal? I've used several of these devices on different high speed connections with no problems, but all connections were via cable internet. The device needs a lot of information both through the web and also a GPS fix from where you place the unit. Must be by a window and have a continuous GPS fix. Other than that, it's a great device! Allows full bars on your phone where there were no bars before!

I do not believe so. It requires a modum attached to the router in order to get the signal. I suspect as you travel you can find businesses that have wifi networks you can access, but probably not on the road. Best bet with the Kindle is load it before you go and gets lots of reading or movies download before your trip.
