Can this function as a hotspot for PCs to Wifi into?

To my understanding it can not. My Droid Max and older Droid Razer maxx could.

Hi ziblick . This device cannot be used as a hotspot. It's a plain wireless adapter that will allow a computer to connect wirelessly.

Yes. I am currently doing just that. Keep in mind though, it is not a WiFi router. You have to plug an Ethernet cable into it or plug an access point in it for WiFi.

Probably not easily... I hesitate to say that anything is not doable these days, but the Plugable needs a fair bit of power and a software driver. If you want to share your hard drive over the local network, look into plugging your hard drive into your router. If you want a mobile solution, look for a wireless-enabled hard drive made for that purpose.

Yes... I have set it up as a wireless hot spot... It included two little antennas... Also the MB doesn't need to be hardwired to a router... You can receive and send wifi :0)

Yes, I think you can. Its a external AP but works as a client too. You just have to configure it as Client.

depends, if used on a windows system, yes. if you use a linux distro, you could turn the system into an access point with this device and receive wifi clients (and if that box has Internet on another network device, pass it through this device).

Yes it is wifi capable; but if you're looking to use it as a hotspot, it will not work for that.

This device can offer SMB service, just as what is used on MS Windows to share files, you can read any type of data through WiFi. The transportation is not fast in my network.

No. This device is used to provide wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) to a computer that does not have it.

Yes, it supports 802.11b/g wireless internet, so you can connect to just about any wireless hotspot out there.

It should work for that. It basically lets a wired device pretend that wireless is actually a wired network.

I presume that what you are asking is if this can work as an access point or as a repeater. If that is your question, that yes it can be configured that way. If I missed what you really want to know, please ask it again.

I would imagine that if your printer would be able to access the WiFi signal from the Hot Spot, then you should be able to, however I have never attempted it.

This is not at all like a wireless router. It will not transmit a wireless signal to another device but only work as a receiver of a wireless signal. So, if you have a wireless router, this can be plugged into a PC to receive that signal but it's not a "transceiver", only a receiver of existing wireless (such as from a wireless router).

Yes it can, but the blocking of the wifi exclusively with the use of the rest of the device would not

Sure if you want to. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/convert_wifi_router_to_access_point.htm
