Right. You can hook it up to WiFi at home or directly connect your smart phone too it like in your car and it works Great that way.

It can do both. It can attach to a router or you can operate it independently on its own.

The unit comes with its own wifi hub but you do not need it if you already have wifi. You do need broadband in some form with a wifi unit - your own or the one that comes with it. I use my home wifi setup and the phone connects by wifi to it without any problems. Was an easy setup for me.

This particular version? No, it's Wifi only. There may be another 'cell' version but I am unaware of it.

Yes! The wifi is setup as " local link" only, so is ONLY used for airplay. Your 3G connection is still used for Internet, so for example you can stream Pandora (via 3G) on your phone while sending it to airplay (via Wifi) while in your car. It's wonderful!

Not at all. It's just like a home computer. Runs off wifi. Just log in to your home acct or anywhere that has it, which is pretty much every where & ur good to go. I love the one I bought. Very happy

It is the same as WiFi. Just put a sims card in it and it runs great with tablets, cell phones, computers, and Google TV. Love my mifi.

I'm not sure I understand but if you mean in your yard, then yes. I have unplugged it from one area of our house and plugged it in an outlet out back and we still had wifi on our iphones. Your extender just has to be near enough to your original source of wifi to pick it up. Your other devices have to be near enough to your extender. I don't think this is for driving around in a car though. You have to plug the extender somewhere where it can still pick up your original signal.

Yes you need internet for this to work, either wireline or wireless, if you going wireless the modem needs to be near to LG box or buy a booster. Personally I wouldn't buy it, I have only used it about twice, I have condemned it, signal gives trouble, power button, remote, only reason I didn't return it is because it will cost me more to ship it back. Save money and by either smart TV or google chrome cast. I bought an LG smart TV which I love except it didn't come with netflix, just my 2 cents

Yep, that is it. It merely transmits data from your cars computer to the app. The app has the real power (which in it's current state is limited)

It uses a SIM card for any cellular functions. You can use WIFI for internet without a SIM.

You don't need this device if you have access to WiFi. You don't need this device if your cell phone permits you to 'tether' other devices. In places where you have No WiFi, but where cell phone coverage, 3G/4G is available, and if your cell phone does not permit tethering, and if you have a device like a tablet or a laptop PC without a dongle, ....with which you want to access the internet, then this device is handy. It can serve multiple devices simultaneously. Of course, you need to install a sim chip with data service from the cell phone provider of your choice.

It is my understanding that will only work with the system base, meaning that will not work directly with WiFi. (NOTE:If someone finds the way to have this working directly on WiFi, I will be very happy learning how, since mine only worked with the base and as per the book for about a day and no more, so I am stuck with a system that doesn't work regardless)

I don't know what you are looking for it to do. For me I have no Wi-Fi. But I now pick up several Wi-Fi sources around me and I get Wi-Fi for free. It may not work everywhere for everyone. It definitely works for me. Just plug it in the USB and pick up free Wi-Fi near you. It says yup to 5 miles.

The device creates it's own wireless access point (wireless network), so you can use it in a car with no wireless connection at all!

Till now my wifi works perfectly... I have 1 week with my phone though. My only issue is the battery! It sucks... and it jas turned off alone 3 times...

To get this to work you will need a internet connection. This device plugs from a ethernet cable/rj45 to give you wifi. I bought this product so I can create my own hotspot at a hotel when wifi might cost money but in room ethernet is free or wifi is spoty. This device can make a non wifi device use wifi. I am unsure of your setup on your truck. It should work at hotels/motels and some truckstops.

I run mine through a wireless connection and it works great! I never have any issues out of it. I can also use my cell phone app (iPhone) to make phone calls through if I am away from my house.
