Once it is set up on your computer, how often do you need to connect it to the computer again?

It needs to be connected periodically so you can get the data from the games. It gives a mice overview of your child's abilities. Also, your child will get more rewards when connected. As often as you want the feedback.

I connected my kids' the first time 2 months ago and haven't connected again. Only time I can think is to download new apps and games.

Once you program the time interval (1 or 2,3,4) times a day,it is set like that for as long as its plugged in. I read that If you unplug it, then you have to reprogram it. I haven't unplugged mine since I got it

That's what I have done. Works pretty well. On occasion after the computer goes to sleep I've had to unplug it then plug it back in to get it to work.

Yes, you do but for that one time only. The following day the program will activate as normal again. The switch is either in Auto or Random.

It really depends on how often you use the machine. We use ours a couple of times a week and it comes on about every 5-6 weeks or so. If you use yours more, it will come on sooner.

no. one of my abiding complaints about this is the fact that i have to reconnect to it every time i use it. but you get what you pay for.

My experience is that the connection technology doesn't last 10 years. I replaced mine when I couldn't find a good adaptor to switch from the old pins to USB. The old one probably still works fine if my newer computer had a port for it.

I own this item. and yess you set it up to the ethernet, just once. aftet that once connected to power it will link back up to the last wifi

It needs to be hooked up to a computer to get set up. It doesn't need the computer to function. It is complicated to set up. I had my IT friend do it and it took him a few hours.

Pretty sure you would have to continually re-set it to start over again. It pumps up, releases, displays your reading. You could certainly just continually do that for an hour or two thus getting readings every minute or so.

Well you have to program the adapter to work with you computer. You just have to plug it into your laptop one time to setup it up and from then on you don't have to plug it up into a laptop anymore (unless you are resetting it). As for your second question im not sure what you mean.

If you are setting it up on a computer is should automatically sync with the device once you put the usb drive in.

I only use my laptop. It doesn't seem to reconnect automatically but its as easy as clicking on the button at the top of my computer that makes it reconnect.

You will need to use your laptops power button. I do it everyday but it's worth it.

The square one is to connect to your network - which you require to connect at least once to setup wireless connection.

We've only used it 1 time. I think it took us 2 to 3 hour's to set up. We also had about 6 people helping. Probably wouldn't take as long the next time.

plug it into another computer to test if it can connect. If not, hope you have a backup strategy in place. The trade off for speed, on this device, is reliability.
