IsWiFi hotspot feature working for people ? It works fine as a router, with ethernet. But not the WiFi hotspot sharing like at a Starbucks. Others?

It works ok for me, though there are firmware problems. Certain kinds of addresses can't be assigned. I made it work by using net 10.0.0.0/8 instead of 192.168.0.0/24.

The router has worked well for me. I'm using it as a bridge to extend the WiFi signal to further corners of the house. It's working well for me.

I'm curious how you thought it would have anything to do with wifi? I am confused.

Just how old is your router? This never really had an issue with WiFi... The issue was with people with old routers.

From what I am understanding, it does NOT. It has to be set up connected directly to a router through an ethernet cable when you set it up & then works wirelessly on that network. My friend is looking for one that works on a hot spot as well. Lol.

No, you have to have an internet plugin for this item. It doesn't function like a wifi hotspot.

I have absolutely NO problem with the WiFi. I have had NO problem with this machine at all since I got it . I was afraid to get it for the same reason.

Kind of a vague question...I haven't had any issues as of yet. Range seems good, but that can depend on the WiFi source and how many others are connected.

It might just be your connection, as I never have any issues with Wifi. Does the issue persist at all wifi locations, or just at home/work? If it's just at home, it could be your wireless router.

No, this one works with WiFi. It will only work with a wireless router in your house or at a public WiFi spot like Starbucks.

I bought this for my mom and she lives in Ottawa - it worked just fine at home but I didn't try any public hotspots. I'm sure it's fine though, I think wifi protocol is the same no matter where you are.

I could be wrong, but if you have any other wi-fi devices running on B or G, you are limited to the fasted device on the router. I just got mine, so I will be setting it up tonight to be sure it works.

It's a wifi only device. So, assuming you have unlimited Internet at home or Starbucks. It's unlimited. If you for some reason have a data limit on your Internet usage, then I suppose you have an issue. Most people, it's unlimited and free.

It works perfectly in any wireless network, you just have to configure in settings the wifi you intend to connect and the repective password. Also works with Wifi networks at restaurants, Greyhound bus, hotels or where ever are free Wifi access.

Yes, it works like most common WiFi routers. You can take it with you as well.

why are people paying for wifi access? finding a place where its free is not really difficult... also, any idea if these phones will support text messaging over skype as well? i suppose not...
