When I get to the place where it says to type in any URL, I get a message saying I'm not connected to wifi - do I need wifi to begin with?

I had to return this tablet, it was defective so I cannot answer your question

No. Make sure the WiFi is turned off, and it will activate the SIM card automatically, and connect to the T-Mobile website.

You need to connect to either the wifi or the T-Mobile (Mobile Data). The wifi will need to be connected to your local network. For the T-Mobile you only have limited free data and then you will need to buy time. Wifi should be the normal way to use this tablet.

It needs wifi to work. Mine came with some free web time from T-Mobile. 250mb free per month plus you can add a t-mobile monthly plan for extra time if you want

If your phone doesn't have wifi, then this thing is useless to you. This does not require a wifi router to work. It directly connects to the phone via wifi.

Is the wifi settings on? Is there any networks for you to connect via wifi?

It means you are not able to connect it to wired internet, and it does not have wireless connection just anywhere. So long as you have a WiFi signal you can connect to, you will be able to go on the internet. Your MiFi device will most likely work.

I think so. I just plugged mine into the wall. I do have wifi, but I didn't do anything to connect it.

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

You will need connectivity to internet either via Ethernet or WiFi. This device is a router and must have a connection to the internet in order to provide access for connected devices.

This is not a wireless system, so no wifi is needed. And you can setup the system without internet, thanks.

its not absolutely necessarry but you do need access to wifi whether its your own or from a wifi hot spot. This way you can access all the inetrnet stuff form your tab

Go to the "Settings"-"Wireless and networks"-"Wi-Fi settings", then you may set your wifi.

Use the online version, not the download version. Do it with your phone not your computer. Both times I did it with phone worked fine, once with iPad did not. Saw that someone else online had the same issue. iPad might have worked it I had the cell turned on, I think you need both wifi and cell capability in the device you use to set it up.

Try uninstalling everything and reinstall. Also check your wireless connection and make sure there's a signal.

I can't. Bought a dongle (sp?) it doesn't communicate with wifi. I use phone, kindle instead. If you can figure out answer, please let me know

If you don't want to have your computer physically connected by wire to an internet connection, and you want to go on the Internet, you need wifi. That way you can use your computer and get on internet everywhere there is wifi. Doesn't make sense any more to get a laptop without wifi. Hope this clarifies.

No you don't need internet at all the way it works is its a hard drive but instead of using a usb cable to connect to the hard drive this drive uses wifi.To connect to the drive wirelessly you need the android app or the iOS version, now if you have internet on your phone or tablet the drive works as a hot spot but this is an additional feature it works well without Internet.

Yes... you need to be connected to a wi-fi network, be it at work or at home.
