Does this need to be plugged into anything besides the electric outlet? Do I need a tower?

Hello. This unit only requires one plug into the wall. No tower is required for this unit since it is all self-contained. This is a great way to eliminate extra unnecessary cords.

According to my wife the answer is no, it must be plugged in. She loves it though.

Yes you need a power outlet to plug the unit into for power. Hope this answers your question.

Nope, this is all ya need. I had an electrician mount it and put a new outlet, so I can plug directly to it

You can do either. We put an outlet up in the ceiling and plugged it into that. Hope that helps!

No plugged it in my pc. The whole reason I bought it, so I wouldn't have to use outlet. So I can't really answer that question with a yes....

No, it doesn't. It's necessary for the unit to be plugged in to a power outlet for use.

plug it in. nothing special required. Yes, the grid that it's mounted on has a chain that you use to mount to a wall. Very nice item.

It's a plug and use. just plug in the usb plug to your tower or device and it should be recognized by it. there should be no set up necessary . hope it helps you

Must be wired only for power. This is a simple set-up. I'm very pleased with it.

If you want to use it as a repeater only, or if you can run an ethernet cable from your internet gateway to the device. You will need AC power unless you can connect an ethernet cable from a POI device and use the POI accessories. That would likely be above the skill level of the average home user.

This unit is USB powered, does not need to be plugged to an electric outlet. The computer this device it connected to will power the unit using the USB cable.

You do need power. I ran mine from a lightbulb adapter. It is WiFi for the connection to the Internet. If I remember correctly you need to set it up first via a wired connection so you can tell it your WiFi network name and password.

Not unless you install a wifi board in the tower. There is an open port available and boards are fairly cheap.
