I used mine on a trip and we had internet everywhere, including driving down the road. Same speed but when you get to the amount you've prepaid then it will send you to the Verizon sign in for you to purchase more GB. We don't do a lot of downloading movies/videos but it allowed us to check our email and it gave me a secure network on which to pay my bills. It worked great for our needs. It seemed like there was one page where you could see how much of the allowance you have remaining. Hope this has helped.

I have only tested it on the shortest plan possible, to see if it would work. It did, but I can't tell you how well it will work in the future. What I EXPECT Verizon to do, in the future, is to support my internet access, when my local internet access fails, because that is what they have promised to do by selling me this pay-as-you-go device. Unless you have lots of money, the plans won't cover wireless TV because you'd quickly use up your band-pass. Last time I checked, the most expensive plan was for 10 Gig/mo. which would run through your movies and shows within the first day or two.

A drawback from the prepaid is that even if your service is active and you have used your gigs the service stops. I have noticed though that it still lets me get online to go to verizon to add more time ( gigs). Just not any browsing or games. There are not any notifications of your usage or being close to having used all your gigs. I don't know about a wireless TV. It should though. On Windows 8... I had to download a driver onto my laptop which wasn't a big deal so it would be compatible.

It wouldn't work for anything... I took mine to Verizon and was told it was not a prepaid one to begin with... it was on a 2 year contract with someone who sold it before completely paying for it.

jm... your wireless network speed is really not the bottleneck.. :-). EVEN if you use a b-spec wireless network, your wireless would still be faster than whatever your modem downloads. The question really is how fast is your DSL modem's connection to your ISP, THAT is going to be the only bottleneck. Anything under 3 Mbps, I'd day you'd be compromising on the picture quality.HTHRavi

That may be a question the manufacturer should answer. I use this on my WD TV HD box so that I do not have to plug a cable from my router to the WD box. The wireless speed is a bit slower than a wired connection so I still use a wired connection in the living room. It is convenient to plug in the wireless Airlink and I can take it into another room or upstairs and use the WD box on another tv to use Netflix, YouTube, etc. I would suggest you check with your manufacturer for an answer or contact Airlink for help too. My personal guess would be that if you have a USB on your unit, then the Airlink should work but this is my opinion only. That may be a question the manufacturer should answer.

To stream netflix, 10/100 Mbps is fast enough because the traffic from your ISP (such as Xfinity/Comcast or AT&T; Uverse) will only go as high as 20-25Mbps for down stream and up stream is much much less.The Gigabit speed is only needed between PC to PC on your local network. For example streaming or transferring a file from one PC to the other or to the TV.For example, I have the cable/dsl modem connected to my wireless router. Then the router is connected to the giga switch, with other PCs connected to the giga switch as well. That way, all my PC will be on the giga and can transfer or stream at speeds higher than 100 Mbps.

You must turn off the data on your cell. If you use connect to internet, carrier dosent know if using wifi or 3g. You will be charged per mb.

The gb refers to the maximum data throughput available over the wires. Actual throuput of any hard drive depends upon the rotational latency of the drive - its a mechanical device after all - to get gb speed I suggest you put an SSD on the network - hope this helps

I really don't know. I have plugged it in but haven't used it yet. I don't know a lot about downloading

No. If you're downloading at 6 megabytes/sec, then multiplied by 8 (6*8=48) you are getting about 48 megabits download speed, which is what you are paying for. Your download speed matches your internet data plan, if you require faster speeds you should change your internet plan.

You will be able to do whatever you need. The free 4g is capped to 200Mb per month, but you can still purchase more if you go past it.

Guy, If you have a 6Mbps download speed from your ISP, you'll still have the same 6Mbps speed after installing this or any similar adapter. What it does do is improve your network speed in your home or office. I installed it on my PC because I had been using just the WiFi for Internet access. With this card installed, and a wired connection to my PC, I have seen faster up/download speeds. But not faster than the bandwidth I'm paying the ISP for. We have an 802.11n WiFi system in place. Hope that answers your question.David

I believe that is probably because of all the preloaded things which take up some of that space. So when it says 8gbs it's including that as part of it. So in actuality you have 6.71gbs.

I would say not to waste your time on device. I used it for a month and then trashed it. response and transfer speeds are horrible.

You will stop using your data limit when wifi is connected. Its saves you data in the end. Wifi is a wonderful thing. Enjoy your phone.

Supposedly speed. If you are in an area that has 4g coverage supposedly your download speeds is faster with 4g than 3g. Some cell companies have scattered 4g coverage so most of the time you won't really notice a difference. Verizon seems to be the best with the 4g coverage unless you are out in the country then it's mostly 3g. But it works good for me and I'm in the middle of nowhere.

this device will not offer a wifi speed as fast as your router. my test is 5-10 Mb, which is definitely OK for Netflix.

I have a cable modem and I occasionally have quality problems. I haven't figured out yet if the trouble is with my network, the player or Netflix. Sometimes I'll get a message saying that the connection is too poor to even connect, so I click OK, reconnect, and generally it loads at high quality. Or sometimes it will load at medium quality so I'll stop the playback so it will load again. More often than not it loads the second time at high quality. It's kind of quirky. I can't answer your question, but thought I'd share my experience. Oh, and I have a 46" Samsung tv.

For WiFi interfaces you don´t have measures for 10 and 100Mbps (those are for Ethernet cable interfaces). That said that specific case support 802.11 b/g/n wireless specifications which means theoretically it could have transfer rates up to 54Mbps (802.11n specs). But do not expect to actually hit the maximum rate, in my my case I got something like 30-35Mbps in a good day (several different variables can affect a WiFi rate).But I´m satisfied with the product.
