is the LG dongle required for wifi, or will a standard USB wifi dongle work?

I believe you need the LG devise. I ordered it at the same time as the TV and it installed just fine. Later on I enabled the 'smart' aspects and all seem to work as designed. I don't think you want to try and make a standard USB work for this.

I am not understanding but I plug the cable , that usually come the internet device , but did not try to connect it through wireless

Tried 2 standard USB wifi and neither was recognized by LG. Had to bite bullet and buy LG dongle, works great.

regular usb wifi dongle will not work as it requires drives. Only LG dongle works. it is cheaper to buy it from eBay.

The dongle with a usb cable + antenna to capture the signal from your wifi router, again if wifi router is not closed from antenna, the device may not capture signal.

Please keep this nameless - do not use my name. According to the specs listed thru Google on thewww.lg.comsite for this model -- it is not. It lists only USB 2.0 http://m.lg.com/us/data-storage/lg-GP08LU10

I don't think so. It requires a dongle to receive a wifi signal, so I don't think it's that high tech.

The BrainyTrade device allows a USB Internet dongle to be used as a WiFi access point. The USB dongle usually requires an Internet 3G provider with a subscription fee. The USB dongle is a separate device, but the BrainyTrade device needs to know how to connect to the 3G service, so only some device are supported.

The one I bought came with a "dongle" that has a USB attachment and fits into any of the computer's USB inputs. It's very small. You might have missed it. I did and called the company and they told me about it. It had no Wi-Fi card inside, though. I happened to have an external USB Wi-Fi receiver so I use that one. If the ad said, as mine did, that it has internet, that's what they meant.

This will work if you have a wireless adapter or USB Dongle. If you need this system to use wifi please contact us at 866-261-6667 and we will arrange that for you.

No, this unit doesn't need one, it's built-in. And if your tablet (mine is a Nook 9" HD+) has Bluetooth capability, it also needs no dongle.

Those questions have nothing to do with this device. You plug your USB cellular data dongle (normally plugged into a laptop) into this device, and it distributes the Internet connection via WiFi. Dongle compatibility is the only valid question.

The one I bought is not wireless. Also, WiFi requires purchase of dongle or Ethernet cable.

Im sorry i was wrong, (kinda) the unit itself is not wifi ready, but it does have a usb slot that can be used with a usb network adapter.

Yes you need the Samsung dongle (Lan Stick). Other dongles won't work. You need it to get a wireless reception. As for configuring, I started with a Linksys and had problems. In the forums on Cnet, they recommended using a D-Link, which was easier for me to configure.

You need special adapter to buy for wifi(USB adapter), cost about $20.00-30.00!

This is a bluetooth device, no dongle is needed unless your device does not have bluetooth.

Hi - the LG model we provide only requires the single USB2.0 cable - unless you are using a very old model computer that doesn't get enough power from the USB - then you'll need to use a Y-USB cable and plug both - we can provide this - Thank you
