Can you use this with regular WiFi, or do you have to buy the AT&amp;T thing?

Don't purchase any iPad that is enabled to use any of the wireless carriers. An AT&T enabled iPad will not work with Version, and vice versa they have two different and incompatible wireless systems. Save your money and purchase a WiFi only iPad then go to what ever wireless carrier you are using and purchase a MiFi card, they also sell these on Amazon. With the money you save you can purchase a 128 gig iPad Air, or use that on a MiFi Card. These are a wireless WiFi router. Your iPad connects to it just like it does with your home network. You can connect up to 5 devices on them iPad, laptop etc. If you purchase the MiFi card outright you can then purchase some really great no contract data plans. All of the carriers have MiFi cards. If you purchase your MiFi cards,which gives a no contract deal you can have one for AT&T,T-Mobile, and another for Verzion, sprint, etc all you have to do is load the Sim card for the carrier you want to use. A MIFi card will fit in a shirt pocket with room to spare.

This device is providing the WiFi service. You need an internet connection such as the one provided by AT&T.

There is an option where you tie it in to your home WiFi. Once you've set up the WiFi direct you can use the dolry app from app store or Google play to set up the integration process.

Yes. it will be your main wireless router. if you want to block sites. If you do not want it filtered you can use the att router. as It will be not blocking the traffic.

This does not have built -in wifi, but I purchased a wi-fi adapter & it works great with it ... you can also use an ethernet cable, but that wasn't an option for me.

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.

Yes, you can use wifi-only if you'd like. If you get an unlocked version, you can use nearly any SIM. A voice plan SIM plus wifi should be fine. Only the wifi hotspot/tethering is restricted...even when unlocked.

Dave. Thanks for your input. It was thorough and cogent. I will follow your advice. I do have a stand alone Motorola modem supplied by ATT. i will still need the connection to my computer. Do I get a splitter so that I can have an output to both the computer and the wi-fi roouter?

It's compatible w/ regular wifi or the AT&T; service if they provide your internet.

You can purchase an ATT "Hotspot" . It works just like a router. I pay $50. A month for its data plan. We have a second home without Internet service and it works great, and keep in mind, this works where ever you can get an ATT signal. I believe Verizon offers the same thing, however their plan may be a little different .

I'm thinking you mean, with a router. If so, yes. Just make sure that a wifi card is installed before you purchase.

No. If you want access when wifi isn't available you will need to buy one and get a carrier (ATT, Verizon). It gives you that option before you buy.
