Can I connect straight to this using my device without a router. i.e will this work on the road in the car away from my house?

No. Think of this thing as being like a wireless adapter for a laptop. If you put a wireless adapter into your laptop, connected to your home network, and then drove away with your laptop, you'd lose the signal.

It can connect directly to your Wi-Fi phone, just push in the reset button, to go back to factory defaults. You will have to go into your phone's Wi-Fi settings and look for it. Don't forget you are connected to it when you want to connect to another location's Wi-Fi.

Hi. That's a good question. I have not tried, but I think it will NOT. Before using it, you have to set it up by indicating the name of your wifi network. that is stored in some sort of internal memory of the device. If there is no wifi network I think it will not work the air play pairing. In any case it works as a charm when there is a wifi network... sorry for not helping so much..

You need a wireless LAN for this to work. Might want to check with Dolry to be sure. They respond to emails within a day.

I have not tried it this way. I have it on a speaker in my home to connect it via bluetooth. I have a bluetooth mechanism that is specifically for the car that has a plug that goes into the auxiliary outlet of the car.

I plug it into my computers usb. It connects to a router over 100 yards away at the house... great signal!

I have one in my RV and one at home. I have no problem with connecting to a wifi at home or on the road. I hope this helps with your decision. I use to us an usb adapter but this does a much better job.

I haven't tried networking mine to my home network. I did download their app on my I-Phone and watch live streaming video that way. However, the range of the internal WiFi isn't very far. I'm guessing it's around 25 feet? The unit is very cool. I drive an average of 1000 miles per week. I like the having the idiot drivers on video should something happen.

I do not believe it will work very well. Ceton web site do not recommend it. This device require a lot of bandwidth. If you have a short distance to travel it might work well. The more distance the signal has to travel and more walls it has to penetrant it will be worst, and anything device that connected on wi-fi will slow everything down on wi-fi. A wired connection provide the best solution and will not affect your wi-fi devices.

There is no such thing as a straight shot when wifi is involved. Range depends on a homes construction. If you want range this is not the item for you. Find a unit that has an external antenna. Even with an external antenna you would require a strong signal that is no more than 100 feet away for data transfer to work fluidly (without dropouts).

No you can put it far away from the router it just has to pick up the signal.

We used it on the road with my laptop. I would suggest you talk to Verizon to see if the connection is compatible.

No it does not work with wi-fi, this unit has a separate port for a direct line to your receiver via a fm audio cord. However it also works with a standard audio cable that if your car stereo has an aux port will be the best way to send the audio signal. There is also a fm transmitter that you pick the frequency to have the unit broadcast to your radio.

No you cannot, your device(phone tablet laptopetc.) will pick up the router even allow you to connect but you will have no internet access. it is an effective long lasting router for DSL connection but not for your phone. I bough tone on eBay and I asked the dude if I could use it to relay a 4G signal from my phone he said yes I in turn bought it. After I noticed I couldn't I asked him what was wrong he apologized and said something about a internet card. I kept it for my DSL and it also charges devices.

Don't see why not, though I never tried it. I assume your going to stream from your phone to this device--should work in your car.

Joanna, Yes but I can say that all routers out there require firmware updates to address bugs and/or add new features. If you drive a newer car I bet there are updates for the 4 or 5 modules waiting to be installed by your dealer.

I have Verizon Quantum router. If you connect using Ethernet it will drop your range signal on anything that is wireless. It does work but we have a lot of laptops and tablets.

GPS can be used without wifi. It works great, I used it in my car on the way to work last week to test out. No traffic option yet. I believe it uses google maps.

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.

Do you have a wireless router that you are able to use in that location? What I mean is is the signal strength strong from your wireless system in the garage area? Can you connect your laptop to your wireless router while sitting in your car in the garage? It's a very good camera but it would be limited in my opinion by the connectivity/signal strength of your wireless router. Hope this helps.
