Europe? does anyone know if Europe uses the same wifi and if this device would work as an alternate to a laptop for short internet access in Europe?

It should work fine in Europe, I have used a Netgear skype enabled wi-fi phone over open wi-fi networks in Europe.

I used it in Ireland just fine. Used Gizmo to make calls back to the US and it was great and free. Wifi worked just great! I too did not want to drag my laptop over there and I was so glad I had my Nokia.

I live in the Caribbean and took it to London already and the wifi worked just find in both regions. I don't know if it will work in Africa but if you the wifi I know it will be fine check with your phone company to see if it is comparable hope this helped.

Wifi is not region dependant. There shouldn't be any issues. This product is also the international version which means its unlocked and work with most sim cards from around the world. Given, the operating band is the same as what the tab supports.

I definitely know it works in Europe. I bought it in USA for my wife when I was there on a trip. She uses BLU and she is very happy, no problems detected with European GSM operators.

The PlayMG only connects to WiFi as opposed to cell phone service and (as far as I know) there isn't any difference in WiFi between the US and the EU. So, it should work the same in Germany.

It should work fine. The US doesn't really like to make items specifically for the US use only. They will make more money if its compatible all over the world. Just like C. Coons is saying as long as you can power the device it should work no problem. If you're using this product as a wifi extender then all you need is the home wifi name and password for it. It's relatively simple to set up as well as long as you don't get crazy and start changing the Zyxel's standard configurations. I set mine up as universal/repeater and it works great.

It worked for me. All You'll need is a plug adapter (NOT a converter) for the country you will be visiting. It charges right up. I've taken it to 4 different countries in Europe now without problem.

I u sed it in Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg and it worked well. Haven't tried it in Italy and Portugal - check the one of the websites for which plugs work in each country.

I bought this as a present for my sister who lives in the uk. I used it in us and had no problem but didn't try the wifi here. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I'd say yes. I think it was build (or at least its region was meant to be) on Italy, yet i'm using it in Colombia flawlessly; either connecting to Internet using a 3G network or making cell calls.Expect an european plug, however. Not a big deal.

My computer, the Aspire R7-571, does have the wifi issue. I wrote about it in my review. I still use a single band 2.4ghz router. When close to the router, I get about half speed. Instead, I use a wireless adapter in one of my USB ports and works great. I get full speeds that way.

Hi, I only used equipment from Europe and didn't try the option. I'm sure it'll work good. I didn't have any problem so far.

As long as you have a wifi signal, you can use the ASUS in Europe. You might want to buy the electric plug adapter kit as there are several different male adapters used in Europe. Amazon carrie them.

I would assume that it would also work in China and Japan. I bought mine in the US and live in Holland and use WIFI with mine and it works. I have taken it to several parts of the world and I am always able to access the internet with WIFI.

sorry, i have no idea about that? we're in the US, but i have heard these models are popular in Europe so i would think they had something that works? perhaps an email to the company?

I would not try to use it in Europe. Instead, I would buy a similar model that runs on the European voltage standard. Otherwise, you can ruin the device -- even with a voltage converter.
