Wireless capability Please excuse my ignorance - we don't have wireless yet. Does "Wi-Fi certified" mean that I won't need to buy and install a wireless router? Thanks.

Unfortunately you still have to pay for internet and buy a wireless router, unless you have a very nice neighbor that lives close!!

If you mean to wireless?? not sure. I think you need to check with your cable. With my last project I needed the wireless codes to hook up. Just check first is your best option.

No, I did a lot of research before I purchased this computer. I didn't bother to look for built in wifi as it is such a common feature. I expected it to be in there but it wasn't. Great computer other than that. PS Wifi dongles are cheap!

Yes you can, but I would do the wireless install first during initial setup.

Bought it yesterday. Had it up and running in less than an hour. Make sure you do the firmware upgrade. Wireless works excellent.!! I can do Netflix, Blockbuster, etc. I also have it pulling stiff off of my 3 PC's and a Mac thru the wireless. What is really great is I got it for $150 open-box with the same return policy as a new one.It has been my experience that most people that post negative reviews that just "blast" a product usually over react. They don't try to figure out what they might be doing wrong and/or realize they might have gotten a defective unit in the first place. Bought it yesterday. Had it up and running in less than an hour.

Unfortunately the Slates that I purchased did not have the Wireless Capability installed, we use WIFI only. The instruction manual does not directly address which types of Wireless Networks are supported.

Yes. Read instructions, which lead you through a wireless setup. Interactive instruction.

There is no wireless wi-fi card installed. There IS a network adapter installed into which you would plug your network cable. You could install a wireless network card in its place. Very simple to do.

Yes, this unit has wireless wifi capability, BUT you have to buy the USB dongle. My experience is that performance is inconsistent, and too often I would get a message saying my internet connection was too slow, after multiple long pauses for rebuffering. This was particularly a problem with streaming Netflix. Now I only use the unit for the audio for my home theatre system, because the Blu-Ray player won't play Blu-Rays and can't be updated, and the issues with the wifi reception.

You can setup wireless network, I believe. We have never done that. Its always connected to our computer.

William S., Although the unit does not ship with WiFi, a Wireless adapter - internal or external - can be easily added. If you are not comfortable in opening the system, we suggest an external USB adapter. Please note that proper installation of either type of device - or any other component - that does not damage the system will *NOT* void your warranty.

You DO NOT need a wireless connection unless you can not connect directly with an Ethernet cable. It has an Ethernet port and is wireless WI-FI.I am using it wireless via DSL and a wireless router.If you get a wireless router get the fastest 1 gigabit.ASUS makes a good one available on AMAZON. With a wireless router you can use it for your wireless printer/scanner Smart phone and visiting lap tops or your own. I would connect directly to the Ethernet port if I had a wire available or could easily run one. The devise works great and the quality with HDMI is very good.

it is wireless, so all you need is either a USB cable (I dont think they include one, I dont remember) or a wireless router. the setup is easier if you have a USB cable. you can get usb cables almost anywhere, including our friends at amazon

Have it. Def only internet is wireless. I don't think you'll see wireless HDMI anytime soon, Mary, sorry....hadn't heard about that, and haven't heard of wireless HDMI, period.. If someone tries to sell you a TV with wireless HDMI, maybe stay away. unless I missed a very important memo, anyone else feel free to correct me!... That said, The wireless I think if or she was talking about the internet capabilities. You can hook it up with a cable or it does have a very fast internal wireless router too. I use the wireless and its easy, very quick, depending on your internet speed, and super convenient, so I have more room for cables on my internet router. I have Att u-verse and so I asked them for I wireless router mainly because our computer and printer are upstairs, but both can use WiFi so I was going to plug everything in down stairs where the router is, but when I found out the TV had the fastest to date 802.11 WiFi, I just went to network options on my tv's guide, and just type in your password for your internet, just like you would for a computer, and good to go. It also will update firmware and programs on the TV automatically, which is good if they are fixing an existing issue or whatever. But no. There is no wireless HDMI in the near to further future... Sorry. TV is crazy awesome though!

A wireless modem, basically has a wireless router built in so there isn't a need for a seperate wireless router to have Wi-Fi. I don't see why you couldn't use this with your wireless modem. You basically turn your wireless modem into a regular modem by disabling the Wi-Fi and enable it on the Netgear Router. I use a comcast modem (not wireless) with this router - works fine.

Sorry. No. I wanted to try that too. But no go. If you need wireless you need the next model up I think.
