Wireless capability Please excuse my ignorance - we don't have wireless yet. Does "Wi-Fi certified" mean that I won't need to buy and install a wireless router? Thanks.

Unfortunately you still have to pay for internet and buy a wireless router, unless you have a very nice neighbor that lives close!!

Sorry if this question seems stupid but could anyone tell me if this model has Wi-Fi capability?

When I bought this, I thought it was ready for wifi but it's not. I'm thinking I need to purchase an airport card (extra $30). I can't get an answer on this. Sorry, not sure I helped.

To clarify, this specific model would need to be plugged into your network to make it wireless. If you get the model with the dw model you can go totally wireless.

As I already have wi-fi at my residence, I'm not sure. You could possibly call an electronics store (Best Buy, Sears, etc). They should be able to verify the answer.

If your question refers to Wi-Fi, the answer is NO! This modem is not Wi-Fi ready. YOU will need a router connected to the modem to access a wireless Wi-Fi connection.

No. But it is not a big deal, the Ubiquiti coverage is so strong that (in my case) I simply turned off the wireless on the existing router and just used the Ubiquiti units. Much simpler, much cleaner.

You can definitely use this at home, but it is not as simple as setting up a standard wireless router. The downloadable documentation can get you through the setup. I would say this is not for a novice, but if you have a little technical ability you should be fine.

it is wireless, so all you need is either a USB cable (I dont think they include one, I dont remember) or a wireless router. the setup is easier if you have a USB cable. you can get usb cables almost anywhere, including our friends at amazon

Sorry. No. I wanted to try that too. But no go. If you need wireless you need the next model up I think.

Is ths wi-fi ready and what do I need to buy if it isn't? I will be here tomorrow and I need it for my WAH job right away.

Yes, you need to buy a separate wireless router. I think it is called a W1000. I got mine pretty cheap though.

you need the internet. additionally,i never could get it set up without being able to hard wire it to a router before using it wirelessly. which made it useless for my situation.(no access to router, just a wireless signal.

You can setup wireless network, I believe. We have never done that. Its always connected to our computer.

I didnt read this but its a pretty educated guess, It needs a plug, and if you want wireless you Add a wireless router.

Yes, this unit has wireless wifi capability, BUT you have to buy the USB dongle. My experience is that performance is inconsistent, and too often I would get a message saying my internet connection was too slow, after multiple long pauses for rebuffering. This was particularly a problem with streaming Netflix. Now I only use the unit for the audio for my home theatre system, because the Blu-Ray player won't play Blu-Rays and can't be updated, and the issues with the wifi reception.

I assume he is asking if you can access via wireless connection, I do not believe that it is. Should be in the spec sheet if it is.
