I only have internet via Hotspot on my phone. Will this work (1) when I am home via Hotspot WiFi connection; &amp; (2) Work when I am not home so no WiFi?

No, it won't work. You need to have a physical Ethernet wired connection to your internet source. I suspect your hotspot doesn't have that capability. You need to have a 24/7 broadband or DSL connection.

You have to make sure WiFi is enabled on your phone first and then open the remote app. I have had issues with the remote app 2 app so am still using the first version. If both devices are connected to your home WiFi do another scan in the app. I don't really have any other tips at this point.

This particular version? No, it's Wifi only. There may be another 'cell' version but I am unaware of it.

I actually couldn't get it to work with my setup, so I returned it. I was looking to use it by linking to outside wifi at a place that I don't have my own internet service, and I needed to run it from my own service. If I remember right, you had to have software on your computer to use it with, and of course I didn't have that setup there. It may or may not work with cellular if they have an app. I would definitely check that out. Hope this helps a little bit, but I honestly don't know much about it.

Took my express on the road for the first time and though it worked at home ... It was green on the road in the hotel but my Internet would not connect. Not on my ipad2 or another computer. Wondering if I screwed up the setup...any tricks during setu?

Yes. There are two apps for this device one is got wifi only and the other is for non-wifi. I have yet to access the non-wifi app so I don't know how it looks. But I do know the capability is there. Both apps use your IP address to set up and a password to access if desired.

If I do not add data plan, can I still surf the web in the place without wifi?How do they charge if I need to go to the web for few minutes in the area without wifi?

I had a portable hotspot for the wifi, but if you turn on connection sharing on your phone it will work as a hotspot even if you phone is connected to the stereo (cable or bluetooth). Keep in mind this will use up your data plan.

You can use most apps without Internet. But, yes, wifi is the only Internet connection. No cellular.

You can purchase an ATT "Hotspot" . It works just like a router. I pay $50. A month for its data plan. We have a second home without Internet service and it works great, and keep in mind, this works where ever you can get an ATT signal. I believe Verizon offers the same thing, however their plan may be a little different .

It is my understanding that will only work with the system base, meaning that will not work directly with WiFi. (NOTE:If someone finds the way to have this working directly on WiFi, I will be very happy learning how, since mine only worked with the base and as per the book for about a day and no more, so I am stuck with a system that doesn't work regardless)

I use the hot spot only. This is the best thing that has happened for internet since companies stopped billing by the minute! Get the hot spot & enjoy internet at home, or on the go!!!!

Thank you SO much -- I can't believe how difficult this information is to find! Neither Apple nor ATT are helpful at all. You are so right in saying this should be included in the documentation. What's the big secret? I'm still a bit confused -- are you saying that with the iPod Touch, it is not possible to have internet access anywhere *but* near hotspots, or in my own wireless home network? But that with the iPhone, internet access (via cellular network) is more widespread, like a cellphone?

Yes you need Internet from the phone company. The modem will provide Wi-Fi but without Internet service you won't get any connection to internet.

Only two way to get internet on the tablet: 1.) It can connect to you home WiFi (or anywhere that has free WiFi) 2.) If you use your cellphone as a WiFi hotspot, you can connect to it that way.

Its true. I am able to connect another device to the phone's hot spot but the other device can't access to the internet. Not sure what is the cause, I did not investigate further.
