Theoretically yes. In practice it didn't work well and I returned it for a refund.

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.

You only need internet to set it up and if you want to download games from the LeapPad website. It has to be plugged in to have internet. No WiFi.

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 it does not need internet to work. It needs a wireless router though or a wired in ethernet.

I wasn't able to get the WiFi connection to work with this device. If you don't need the wireless function it should work just fine.

William S.,Although the unit does not ship with WiFi, a Wireless adapter - internal or external - can be easily added. If you are not comfortable in opening the system, we suggest an external USB adapter. Please note that proper installation of either type of device - or any other component - that does not damage the system will *NOT* void your warranty.

no it is WiFi only. I t has a good WiFi connector on it though. If you have a public network that you can access you will have no problem surfing the web.

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.

It doesn't provide wifi *at all*. This is a DSL modem for hooking other stuff up to the Internet. What you're looking for is a wireless access point (WAP). These days they usually come integrated with a switch (4+ Ethernet jacks for connecting things without wifi or that run better over wires - you may want this), and a router (key feature is DHCP, which hands out addresses to devices - you probably need this).If you don't have an Internet connection, or you do but you already have something to hand it off to other devices, you don't want this modem/router.

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!

Thanks for all your help folks, but I purchased a REFURBISHED 2014 model. It's 100% complete, has a 1-yr warranty, 1-yr free tech support and free shipping, all for only $179! Had to go directly to the WiFiBaby website however...but I'm all set now! :)
