Only if you are going to be somewhere that will give you their wifi password because it is an extension. For example: you connect at home and you have NetGear 528 - when you set up the range extender it will create NetGear 528-ext I don't think a motel or resort will give you their wifi network password for you to set it up. If its a private home probably would be just ine, unless thy re like ome of my I laws, they don't even know their pass codes ! LOL. Hope this helps

I have used it as an extender. I am not sure that you can hook it up to get wifi

AFAIK no wifi is needed. I have taken it to beach cottages and hotel rooms with no internet connection and it works fine.

Yes you can, if Internet connection is over 5G or it depends of router data transmitting.

Yes. You need Internet. Also you have to know your ip address and open a port for your router

Yes you can use wifi but my computer stopped working after 5 months and it's unfixable

I think it is possible, yes, but as someone mentioned you would have to go through doing a reset, then set up at each location. It isn't as simple as a plug and play. Now for travel perhaps a product call "Almond" would be an easier option. It has easy set up, a touch screen, I don't think it is quite as powerful as the amped wireless [I have both] but it does a great job, as I said it is much easier set up for travel

Go to the "Settings"-"Wireless and networks"-"Wi-Fi settings", then you may set your wifi.

Hi yes you can use it thru wifi but also with USB connector it brings. The first time you have to set up via USB connection anyways to set up the account etc

Yes you can, it basically works as your home or office wifi, with the advantage of taking it anywhere you go

No you can use it just over WiFi if you wish. If you plan to activate it seeing as it is a smart phone you will have to get a data plan.

Yes. After setting it up so that you can connect to it via wifi do the following: 1. Turn it on. 2. Connect your computer or Tablet or smart phone to it. 3. Go to the Elite's page usually 10.10.10.254 and then Network, then Internet and search for the hotel wifi connection you want to connect to. 4. Then choose it and save it. 5. Then open another tab in your browser and go to say google.com and the hotel's sign-in/click thru page will appear. 6. Login as you would otherwise. 7. Connect your other devices to the Hootoo and you are good to go.Note: If it reverts back to 10.10.10.254 then you need to get the firmware swapped out for the one that is designed for connecting to hotels.

You can but you need to attach a compatible 3g USB dongle for it to have 3g Internet access

Yes, we have our's set up on the home WiFi. If you mean a portable WiFi hotspot, I'm sure you can do that as well.
