wifi is built in, but you need to have the signal in your household...from a router

No. You only need a wireless network router and just follow the on screen instructions.

I believe so. the receiver antenna will supply a hard wired Ethernet jack/signal. you can simply connect a wifi router or access point and broadcast that wifi signal in the remote area.

Yes. We have wifi . we are set up with wireless router at home and my wife is on her Lenovo in the living room or bedroom at the far end of the house.

I believe a router is still needed. It will pickup a signal from a router, but a router still has to send out that signal.

This unit does not include a wireless receiver. But, I'd think that your old receiver should wire up to this unit. It's a simple two wire hook-up.

It must be connected to the router via cable, but if you dont have or dont want to extend ethernet cables you can install a wifi extender near your receiver and connect the receiver to the extender by ethernet, i did that

I think that you can connect you receiver to a wireless network using a wireless adapter like NETGEAR WNCE2001

Sean, why do you say it's a no brainer if you don't need wifi???? I would think most people need wifi. I have the brown one and use the wifi all the time.

As long as you have WiFi, yes. If all you have is a wired router, then no. You need WiFi since this has no physical ethernet port.

It will ask for an update if it is needed. You will then need to download it over Wi-Fi

I believe so, but you will need a hard wire connection to the internet; the unit does nothave wireless wi-fi.

I don't think so. It requires a dongle to receive a wifi signal, so I don't think it's that high tech.

Yes. You need to have wifi or to connect it to a router with an ethernet cable.

If u already have dual band u dont need this device. If not u can buy this and improve the signal by avoiding interfance.

Yes. I have two units and love them. I use them at home, in parades and at the beach. The wifi connection is great.

No. The latest one out has it now. Which I didn't know. But hey I am fine. If you have a Sams Club they have the latest with the WiFi. Hope this helps.
