do you need internet for this device to work?

Yes. This requires an Internet connection (preferably reasonably high speed and reliable). The device creates an effective "cell tower" in your home, so your cell phone thinks it has good coverage. But, in order for it to complete a call, or present your device with a data connection, it needs to route all of the traffic over the Internet, hence it needs something like a "cable connection", DSL, or FiOS, etc.

Please note that basic cable modem service may not be sufficient if you are running multiple devices. Furthermore, sometimes this device works only when connected immediately to the cable modem, instead of to the router.

Yes I believe it does require Internet to install the drivers. It also will need Internet to download any programming guide material.

Yes, once set up it works well on any device that you can access the internet on. Nothing extra to buy but you do need wifi access.

No. There are online elements to the tablet, but I would say the majority of the tablet functions can be used without connecting to the internet.

Without an internet provider you cannot use this device. That is where your connection comes from.

Yes you can use it without Internet but you lose the remote capabilities. It would act as a programmable thermostat.

No it does not require internet or 'wifi'. This uses a wireless connection from the camera to the receiver. The receiver then attaches to your tv or monitor via a rca video connector. The camera and receiver both need to be plugged in to AC power though, so it is not completely wireless.

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).

Rhema; Yes, you can use this. What you will have is an ethernet connection. The speed of your internet will not keep this device from working.

Correct you are able to connect to the Internet. But if you are asking how does it connect it is wifi capable. That's the only method unless I belive other versions are cellular and wifi capable. Make sure you read specs usually the cellular tablets cost more.

You won't need "internet" but you'll need the base station and a wireless network. Your phone or the remote you can but will connect to it locally using your wireless network.

Does not need internet to work. Would probably need internet to update maps.

No it does not require an internet connection or even cell service. It receives signals from low earth orbiting satellites to determine your location. It has nothing to do with the internet, cell towers or your cell phone at all. It works with your laptop's GPS enabled mapping software such as DeLorme Street Atlas or Microsoft's Streets and Trips and many others.

This device only requires you get a cellular signal. No Internet connection is necessary. Be sure to mount the antenna as high as possible for the best results! If installed correctly, you'll be able to access the Internet from your smartphone.
