Hello Cesar, The adapter can be used to connect to a hotspot but cannot on its own function as a wireless hotspot. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

This adapter will connect to your home router. If you have 2 computers, it will network the 2 and you can move the one with the adapter to other areas of the house. I have no idea if it could be part of a hotspot. You can contact Medialink directly and ask them.

I used a Dell desktop with Windows 7. It did not have a wifi or anything like it. I just plugged the Long Range into the USB port and it loaded drivers automatically. It considered the Long Range a wifi card and just took care of itself. I did not use the cd with programs that came with it.

Sorry for previous answer...wrong product... Same idea, but can connect to any wifi signal it can reach, provided you have credentials to connect. Device connects directly to what you want to bring the signal to via USB

I am not sure about Windows 7, my guess is that you may have issues with the software drivers. However, depending on your hardware, if you want to use Windows 7, I would look at this item: Anker® USB 3.0 PCI-E Card with 4 USB 3.0 Ports and 15-Pin Power Connector for Desktops (AI410), also on Amazon.

You can plug in anything that has a network port and make it wireless, but don't think a USB will work. There are plenty of USB wireless network adaptors though.

No, it's not to turn or make your modem into a wifi hotspot, its for computers that are not equipped with or not built with wifi connectivity

This is the one I am currently using: Netgear WNCE2001 Universal WiFi Internet Adapter. It works great. You will need to hook it up to a computer and enter your network settings. It takes you to a "webpage" to configure it as soon as you plug it in as it is plug'nplay. Once the settings are entered you can use on any device with an ethernet or usb connection. I use it on my Panasonic Blu-ray player (ethernet), TV (w/ ethernet), XBox360 and various computers when needed. It works great!! No Wires!!

It is strictly windows only, and is usb only, not wifi. I still have mine and have never used it, because the vendor was so dogey about returns, it wasn't worth returning. Also it is really big, and takes up a lot of space, and the replacement cartridges are like $70 dollars. I am trying to unload it on cragslist.

I would say no as it needs a USB to connect also I know with mine there were drivers to make it work. You could however hook it to your shop computer if you have one to receive from the router I think maybe for what you're looking to do you may want to check out the WIFI antenna at Heartland Amnerica I have no knowledge of the product but you can probably review cust's opinions on it

Not positive, but if you have your desktop connected directly to the adapter and not the wifi then NO!

Well, I couldn't get it to work with 802.11g. So working for 802.11n is not likely. I returned mine for a refund. I was using Windows Xp, SP3 and an ALFA AWUS036H wifi adapter (a highly rated adapter that works great). I did get a 32 ft. to work [BlueRigger USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension / Repeater Cable 10 Meters (32 Feet)] purchased from amazon. Hope this helps.

Yes. That's why I bought it. I didn't want to pay for internet access, and the radio that came with my laptop wouldn't pick up a free hot spot close by. With this adapter, I can pick up a Linksys hot spot that is located at the airport, some 10 miles away. It was well worth the $18..I disabled the Atheros Qualcomm radio that came with my laptop. This product comes with a CD and info on a website for an updated driver that is free for the download. This will be one of your best investments on free internet access.

The best performance is over Ethernet. The USB port allows you to plugin the manufacturers wireless adapter so that the Transporter can operate over a wireless network. I believe the USB port is not supported for any other use. but you can use the Transporter wirelsslt by installing a

The USB wifi adapter should have come with the driver software.If not, you will have to find it via google searching.

I haven't done it myself, but it should work fine. I have one of these. Once installed, the device appears to Windows 7 as a serial port device. If you install two of them, they will appear as two separate serial ports. You just need to make sure to wire them up appropriately.

I use this on Windows 7, and it did need to get some updated drivers from Microsoft but worked basically once I plugged it in. I have had problems with some worn usb sockets on my work pc, and it worked once I used an USB extension cable.
