I already have Clear service with a wifi router at home, with a desktop wired in, and a laptop connected wirelessly. But I want to add a laptop at my shop about 12 blocks from home, to my home account. Would the Voyager Hotspot allow me to do that?...

You must add a mobile line of service to your current clear account which will be an additional monthly fee, and also purchase the voyager separately.

My bet is no. Not consistently. You're better off to put in a series of access points, or, depending on the number of units, power-over-ethernet (D-Link calls it Powerline AV). IF you're going the PowerLine route, make sure you don't get the minis because they're limited compared to the other series which is actually addressable through a web browser. Short of going REAL Cisco, I don't think there is a single wireless router that will handle an 'enormous' house. Despite what D-Link says.

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

This device can function as an access point/router. So if your friends house lacks wireless you can create a wireless network. Then if you have devices which can connect to said network you should be able to use his internet connection. Now if he already has an wireless access point/router you could also use this as a wireless client/wireless Ethernet bridge to connect to said network.I would consider the hootoo tripmate as a second option.

If you have a desktop with an attached printer you can use Google's cloud print app. This is the method I use and it works just fine. You may also be able to connect directly to a wireless printer such as the HP DJ 2540, 3520, Photosmart 6520 and many others. I have not tried this method but it should be possible. Another method would be to add a network printer to your router, this would make it available to all computers that are served by the router both wired and wireless. Hope this helps!

yes you can. The only issue I am experiencing is roaming. IF your PC is connected to the wifi downstairs and you are going upstairs do expext loss of connectivity for a variable time (from a few seconds to a few minutes). it seems the PC has problem roaming to the new (closer) AP.

Hello, No this is not true. The range is similar to other devices with Wi-Fi (Smartphone, Laptops, etc...). You can have the frame in another room than the router, no problem, within a normal range for a Wi-Fi device. The Pix-Star Customer Support Team.

That should not be a problem. This one is unlocked, so you will own it outright and can either add it to your account (to replace an existing hotspot for instance) or do a pay as you go plan. That said, expect to have to take it to your local Verizon corporate store for assistance moving everything. I tried to activate mine online (pay as you go for travel), but had some issues and ended up taking it into the store and they took care of it no problem.

No, you would have to buy and add a wireless network card. This can be a PCI ( internal ) or USB ( external ) type of wireless network card

I've had no problem using the 1025C as a client on my home network. It joins my homegroup just fine, but I don't know exactly what you mean by synching with other non laptop devices. If, by "sync", you mean sharing files, there shoud be no problem there with most devices. If you want to know for sure, you should look up information about the file formats and networking protocols that whatever specific 'non-laptop' devices you have will use when sharing files and other data. Sharing files of standard types can usually be done across most modern devices but there are many exceptions to that. As far as the Office Suite, the 1025C has plenty of computing power to be sufficient. It. of course, might be a little slower than a full size high end notebook but I think it's safe to say the difference in actual user experience would max out at around 15%. I installed an SSD in my 1025C and it is a very snappy performer.

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

This is not a plug and play device - you need to follow the setup instructions exactly for both radios, routers, and laptop computer - for your specific configuration. It took me a while to get all the settings correct. Much easier if you get it all working in one room, connecting your laptop to each using a direct wired connection to set them up, then test the wireless link and make sure it works, before you start climbing trees. The Engenius support line was helpful with my setup, so I suggest you call them to walk you through the steps or troubleshoot specific issues. Mine worked great between two houses at about 1/2 mile distance - one mounted in a tree, the other placed in a window.

The easy answer is no, the more complicated answer is yes. The wireless joey could be used to accomplish your task if you used a vpn to connect the internet at your home network to your internet at your cabin. Then it would act as if they were on the same network on work. You would still be limited to connection speed between your home and your cabin.

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.

The Clear Spot voyager should work anywhere, assuming you can get enough strong signals to send and receive pulses from it. Physical problems may prevent this. I suggest you try and see what happens.
