I have mine connected via my charter cable box. I am able to use my phone with wifi and my laptop too.

I have never had a problem connecting with wifi. Since I am not a "techie", I would call Samsung support.

It needs to have a active SIM card with a data plan to work. It won't connect to another Wi-Fi. If you have a router that supports USB ethernet then you can use this to provide mobile data to that router.

This device does not come with any connection. You have to plug in your 3G USB dongle (for which connection you'd pay monthly) and then this device will create a wi-fi network using the aforesaid 3G connection.You can also connect your wired broadband connection - using a network cable - to the device and it will create a wi-fi hotspot so your wi-fi devices can connect to your wired broadband. Again you'd pay for the original connection monthly but not for this device.So, bottomline - you need a separate connection with a payment plan to use this as a wi-fi hotspot.

I do not have this exact product but I do have a Wilson product that helps me get signal at work since my building has awful signal. I did not have to install anything and I get good signal while my phone is on/near the device. I would recommend the device I have to any user with no signal.

No. This device is for connecting ethernet-only devices to a Wi-Fi network. What you need is a Wi-Fi router.

You just have to connect adapter to your network and the other adapter to the device you want to have an internet connection. No other setup is required.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

This device can only connect to your existing network over wifi. It clearly says that in the manual. I had to return mine assuming that this device would have an access point mode, but after 45 minutes on a chat with support they confirmed it could not. If you want an access point from Netgear you need to buy a router and turn it into access point mode.

The device has to be connected with a cable (The unit does not have integrated WIFI tech) but you could connect it to a Wifi device eg apple airport extreme...

I can't fully answer as the area I tried it in had no signal that the Booster could detect and therefore I could not use it. As I had high-speed Internet, I ended up with a Samsung Range Extender from Verizon that works great.

I know of no way to tether to the unit. You need to be connected to a WiFi signal.

Sorry. I'm having some trouble figuring out your question, so I'm going to try and answer what I believe you are asking.... This device does not affect the WiFi at all. It is in simplest terms, a booster for your cell phone. However, if you are using your cell phone as your WiFi, then yes it can increase the signal of the cell phone, and in turn the WiFi. I really hope this helps. If I didn't answer your question, please repost and I will do my best.

The Wilson amplifier only boosts the cellular signal. We are in an area with a weak Cell signal. To have WiFi, we purchased a mobile hotspot and put that device in cradle of the Wilson amplifier. Now we use our WiFi tablet, and it works great.

No, this is a WiFi extender/router. If you cannot get a signal, then your just out of luck. You are thinking of a 4G LTE signal booster, which can only boost an already strong 4G or 3G signal for indoor use. It's not a very portable thing either.

I used cable connection, mostly. WiFi is very poor and unstable. I dont remember if I had to do something special to connect, and I dont use that device any more.
