The camera needs to be connected to a hard wire router and electrical outlet. The camera will then need to be plugged into an electrical outlet within the same "house" and on the same wifi. If you're using the camera at McDonalds and not remote location then the base still needs to be plugged into the router. At home the camera can be in one room. The base must be plugged into a wall electrical outlet and hard wired into the router.Hope that helps.

As long as your camera is hooked to Ethernet, you can view it from your tablet or smart phone any where you have an internet connection. I can be in South America and view my house in USA, as long as my camera is plugged into Ethernet.

If you have an ethernet (not wireless) available and you just want to connect it to a remote ethernet, they should work without any set up. However it is best to log into the device using a browser (and the included instructions) and set a password for security. You can also change other parameters (such as transmit power and transmit channel number) and even add a wireless node.

Did not use this option since I have wire access. Wired access is always going to be more reliable to Wifi. Cheers.

If you mean whether or not you can connect to a hot spot (any hot spot) then the answer is yes. It just needs to be open or you need to have the password for it. Make sure airline mode is not on or anything that would prevent WIFI from working.

Yes, I have logged onto wifi at Wendy's, McDonalds, and Starbucks. I didn't purchase internet service from a provider. I only use wifi.

There are a bunch of "yes" answers, but no! No ethernet jack - only wireless and USB interfaces.

Assuming that you mean by 'non-wireless computer connection' you have an ethernet cable going to your computer, then yes. If this is a business computer you may want to find out if they want a wireless connection attached to their network.

No Wireless... old school Cat-5 cable. You can put a USB adapter, right? That technology would not be needed in a corporate environment...

You can buy a module that is a print interface that allows printing though an ethernet connection

From the main screen press the left "menu" button &gt; scroll to wifi and press &gt; the phone will scan for available wifi and show a list &gt; if you have an open network just press the "connect" or center button. With hotspots like McDonalds you will need to check the "agree" box and the "connect" box to connect. If the wifi network is secure you will see a screen to enter info when you press the center button. It should have all the info to connect except the password. If some info is missing you will need to know that info and enter it in the appropriate box. Scroll down the screen until you find the box to enter the password. Once enter the password you will see either the center button or the left button with "save" above it. Press this and you should be connected. My home secured wifi network connects automatically when I turn on the wifi manually without needing to enter the password after I initially set it up with my password. Not sure about other secure networks you may connect to. No extra hardware on the phone is needed. Wifi will time out and need to be restarted and also will need to be restarted if you turn the phone off. The phone connects to most hotspots, but I have had a problem with a few that simply would not connect. Starbucks and McDonalds have been no problem. Maybe not a perfect system, but fairly simple after you do it the first time and get the fell for it. Hope this is a help.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

If you have to ask this question, you'd be better off renting a router/modem combo from your ISP. It is a router, and creates a wireless signal that can be picked up by any network card that supports any 802.11 specification, regardless of what operating system you are using.

I think you would be served getting a Wi-Fi ethernet adapter, like from Netgear.

No, I do not think so. It needs to connect to WiFi or an Ethernet connection.

Yes. You can hook up your cable connection to the modem and plug your router into an ethernet port and configure the wifi on your "better" unit by logging into the ip address of your "better" unit. You don't even need to log into the ip of the Arris if you are not going to use the wifi from it. I have done it this way many times in order to verify that another wifi unit was working properly. I hope this helps.

Yes- You can connect using WiFi so you can use it anywhere you have access to wireless so you do not have to be connected to ethernetThanks!Shamly

I have been using AIRPORT for wireless connection to internet for years. I would presume that you can use a wired connection to access internet.
