Yes, there is a Atheros AR8132 10/100 RJ45 jack on the right side of the unit.

Free wifi? yep. If it has a password then, no, unless you have the password. I use one of my cable companies hot spots to use my kindle at work.

Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience. The box where you plug the phone in has two Ethernet jacks. When I first set up the system I had one of the jacks connected to one of the Ethernet jacks on my Wifi router which is plugged into a modem that provides internet connection. This was not very reliable so I call Phonepower and they said to plug the phone box directly into the modem and plug the Wifi router into the phone box and this has worked pretty much without any problems. The phone box itself has no Wifi connection unless they have boxes that are different from what I have.Thanks, Jerry Hi Angela:I can only give my own experience.

No, not as an included option. However, WiFi cards or USB can easily be added. There are many on the market and while I do not have direct experience with them, some of them will be "Plug N Play" and can be installed as easy as plugging it into an external USB port. If you want one that is easy to install, I suggest you search "USB WiFi".

I still havent got it working as far as the Wifi is concerned. Works as long as its plugged into computer. I got some pointers from our IT guy where I work but just havent had time to try it again.

This is like a hub for Ethernet cable. It allows multiple devices to be attached to you router and therefore connected to the internet. There is no WiFi. It's only cable.

First of all this device allows you to connect a non-WiFi computer to a WiFi network. It is an after-market device that allows the WiFi connection. WiFi in your home is another topic altogether. You need to have an internet connection either through telephone lines, such as dial-up or DSL, or cable, such as Cox, or satellite, such as Wildblue or HughsNet. WiFi in your home is a communication system that can be setup with a Windows system or a Mac system. The WiFi system is called a network. First get the internet into your home, then set up the home network, then if you need it, modify your computer with the device you were inquiring about. Sounds like you may need some hands on help getting this set up. As easy as the computer folks say it is, it is not easy when you don't know where to start. Good luck. Some hands on help will get you understanding this stuff in time.

The one I purchased for my sister did have a modem, but with WiFi, she isn't using it since her internet connection is via her cable modem and WiFi router. (I can't imagine it wouldn't have one since most of these computers are returns from business leases) If you are still concerned, I recommend you call the seller and ask to be sure. PS, you might also ask if they will include the Windows re-install disc so if the hard drive dies, you will be able to re-install Windows without having to lay out the cash to buy it. Mine did not come with the disc, but they sent it upon request. It likely will NOT have MS Office or other software with it - just windows XP. Good luck!

This is likely the wrong direction for you. This is if you have working WiFi, and want a wired ethernet connection. A WiFi access point or a wireless router would be what you want.

No its not wifi ready but u can buy a plug in for about 20$ that plugs right into the usb port

I'm not really sure what your question is. The unit comes with a built in Wi-Fi connection or you can buy a ethernet to USB adapter and connected to the Internet that way. I hope that answers your question.

no, its only a very good modem. Connect a router to it and you have your own wifi. I recommend having a stand alone modem and a stand alone router instead of a modem/router combined unit.

that's the reason I bought this. Just plugged it in, and it creates a wifi network. The name of the network and password are written on the back of the router. No settings needed, tested yesterday.

I'm very sorry, but I don't use WiFi, I'm an old lady, I don't even know what WiFi is. Maybe ask the seller you're thinking about buying from. Good luck

No. All you need is an electrical power outlet to plug it in. I did all the setup wireless since I have a compatible Netgear router. I never connected it to the router physically. Recently we had some construction in the room where it was placed. I just unplugged it from the outlet and moved it to a new room, plugged it back in to a new power outlet and it reconnected without any issues or action on my part.

I just bought this and no it is not wi-FI ready. But don't worry. You won't have to get a WI FI card. You can purchase a USB wi-FI booster that normally comes with the disc and driver necessary for it to work. And depending on what type of power supply you buy, is really useful. What I recommend is getting a wireless-n USB adapter. Technically called the SL-3504N. But that's a mouthful lol.

Right out of the box it comes with wifi disabled, at least mine did, you have to enable it first. go to system settings and on wifi click from off to on. other than that you may just need the password for your router.
