Does this only work on it's own WIFI network, or is it possible to connect to an established network?

I am fairly certain that this product transmits and receives on it's own specific frequency/modulation and that you cannot attach it to any Wi-Fi network

it works on it's own Wi-Fi network; devices sync pretty much automatically; just like Bluetooth but with a much better range; cheers

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

Not 100% sure either, but it is just serving as a connection, I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Yes, once set up it works well on any device that you can access the internet on. Nothing extra to buy but you do need wifi access.

Not on its own. You will need to connect it to a router or other device that gives USB devices access to the network.

Connecting to the network router only works with firmware v2.0.1. If you update to 2.0.4/2.0.5 it doesn't work.

Mine is on a secured wifi network , but I have had it so long that I honestly don't remember the setup procedure. I do think initial setup requires connecting to pc.

Yes, but you may have to configure it differently if it's not the main router on your network.

no, it does not work. don't buy this. i bought an external wifi adapter that plugs into a usb port instead.

Actually, yes it can. I recently used this in a hotel that had no wired access, but had a captive login which required me to enter my hotel loyalty program ID. I setup the router to work in WISP mode and it connected to the hotel's SSID. I then attempted to access the Internet from my laptop and was met with the browser window asking me for my credentials and asking me to agree to their TOS. Once I entered all that, all of my connected devices started working (multiple iPads, iPhones, a laptop, and a Chromecast). Every 24 hours all devices stopped working and I had to agree to that page again from just one of the devices.

It took me a couple of tries, the connection may not be strong enough. Try it on wifi

Actually it doesn't work like that. The camera itself creates a local wifi network, and your phone connects to ITS wifi network. (Manual includes a password).

It does connect on wifi, but if you have an extender then it may not work properly. Our ISP set up a Netgear extender and the Inspiron won't connect unless you click the detect button on the side of the extender. Either the Inspiron or the extender can't hold the connection so it's lost so much that I would have to go into the hallway to reconnect. I connect to the main wireless modem now which is weaker, but steady.

No, just hardware the network or like others have said, use any 3rd party wireless adapter.

Yes, as purchased my laptop was able to connect on WiFi. Some examples may not have a WiFi card -- ask the seller.

Yes, you can connect to any WiFi network with this, if you have the right credentials. Games: yeah, it works, but mine usually disconnected at least once a day or more and had to be reset. I eventually just hardwired my PC to the network, as I got really sick of the disconnects.

Yeah this can work once you have access to your router outside your network that this device is connected to and you should be fine
