do I have to subscribe to a network provider to have internet?

No. You just go to readybroadband.com and activate your account and buy airtime. The first time around I had to call up customer service to set up my account. It is not cheap internet (around 25$ for 350mb of internet) but it works everywhere there is cell phone service.

No, you just pay as you go. You just have to be in an area where you can pick up a signal. I wasn't happy with this device, I couldn't watch any videos. But it was fine for email & facebook. A smart cell phone works better. Good luck.

It is a wifi connection, so your internet provider will cover it for what your subscription is

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

If the description is just Wi-fi, then no, you can't hook it to a cellular provider. If it's Wi-fi + Cellular, yes, it's "ready" for your cell plan. My advice is, if you can afford it get the Cellular version even if you don't plan to use that right away. You can't add cellular capability to the device after the fact if you change your mind, as I did after a few months: for $10 /mo. on Verizon it turned out to be worth it after all.

Yes. That's not a problem. They will include a monthly data fee, if it is not part of your plan already, (for updates) but not enough to use the internet regularly.

No, there is no subscription required. They do periodic software updates, but they are free.

As I recall, you have to subscribe to have any access to the machine. I bought a Roku 3 and use it the way you describe.

No the CD isn't required. But you should find out what firmware version your internet provider is using so you can upgrade it if necessary.

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

Once you install the software for device, it should work as a regular wifi antenna, expect it extends in a far range. I still have not have had it properly work with my laptop. If you already have an ISP (Internet Service Provider) then you do not need to subscribe to anything. But if you do not have any subscriptions, then you can use this WIFI device to obtain available WIFI access points from far ranges.

U have to have internet to have WiFi. If u do have internet that isn't wireless u would have to get a router to hook up to ur internet to obtain wireless internet.

No activation required. Dose not cost anything to be used. But you do need a modem and internet service connection for router to be used. Your internet provider should supply the modem. Hope that helps.

No Internet required. It amplifies your signal from the network tower. It provided an additional bar for me. Don't expect much from it.

I only use wi-fi for mine. I had to choose a company for some reason, but it doesn't make you sign up. Not sure why they are set up that way, but it's not required to sign up.

No it does not need internet to work. It needs a wireless router though or a wired in ethernet.

You need internet service and a router that broadcasts W-Fi (almost all routers do that now anyway). You do not need wireless service as in wireless phone service.

No, you do not need a data plan to use the Internet you can use any wifi available. If you are wanting Internet all the time, you might want to look into getting a hotspot which will require a data plan. I hope this information helps!!
