So, in short, this item becomes a wifi 'hotspot' and you connect to it via wifi? If yes, how do you surf the web simultaneously?

Two options:- Either it becomes a wifi hotspots (Direct Wifi) which indeed would not let use browse the web.- Or, and that's the intention, it joins your existing wifi network and your devices (mac, iPhone, etc...) can connect it on the local network and can still browse the web.In most case the direct wifi mode will only be used once to set it up. Connect to it and, through the app, configure it to join your wifi network.
506634
Yes. That's the basic function. However there si an advanced configuration done in the Dolry iOS app to connect the Hi-Fi Stone to your own router, then you can AirPlay and surf the web (i.e. YouTube) simultaneously.
506635
No. It becomes an Air-Play option on an existing WiFi network. It needs to be on the same WiFi network as the device that contains the content. I haven't noticed any difference in my upload or download speeds while I'm using the Dolry.

If it does not die after 3 days like mine did, you can surf the web as the setup process allows you to use it as a bridge to your wireless router

The purpose of the Dolry creating its own hotspot is so you can wirelessly connect to the Dolry (by temporarily disconnecting from your wifi network and joining the Dolry one) and configure it with information about your wifi network. After configuring the Dolry then switching back to your own network everything should look and work the same as before (web browsing, etc.), with the addition of the Dolry visible an Airplay speaker on your network.

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, you can use it via usb tethering. And this is responsible for distributing the signal for wifi

Mitch, That's the beauty of this gadget! Plug it into a USB port, CD has drivers if Laptone is not recognized, follow directions, and I followed the icon for connections to the internet on my taskbar. I found the WIFI I wanted to connect to and clicked... Surfing on the internet with WIFI in less than 15 minutes.

This tablet can only be operated with internet when its connected via wifi, if is not connected with wifi, the internet will not work unless you have a hot spot near the tablet.

It has it's own built in wifi signal it emits to your device and that's how you connect to it. Honestly, I could never get it to work even though I could get my device to see it. I just plus it in and use it like a flash drive now.

If I do not add data plan, can I still surf the web in the place without wifi?How do they charge if I need to go to the web for few minutes in the area without wifi?

If I'm reading your question correctly you need a wifi router or a hot spot piece. You can not cord connect it to the internet. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can surf the web, and it connected to our home wireless router almost immediately, very easy setup! but agree with other customers that it's best to use a wireless keyboard if you want to do alot of web surfing etc. my family all love this tv.

Yes, you can. That is how it is designed. If you are not picking up WIFI, then either the tablet itself could have a problem. Once you turn on WIFI, it should automatically search any open networks. When yours is displayed, then click it and enter the information. Same as if you were trying to connect to a hotspot, except you may or may not have to enter a password.

Yes, mine uses wifi a lot, and as long as the wifi itself is solid, it works really well for browsing, even on full websites.

The device can scan to an SD card, and then you can access the scans either via WiFi, by taking the SD card out of the scanner and putting it in your computer, or connecting the scanner to your computer via USB (at which point your computer thinks it's basically a digital camera.)The WiFi part is pretty disappointing, though; it advertises itself as its own wireless network, meaning that you have to switch your computer to the scanner's network, rather than the scanner showing up as, say, a file server on your existing wireless network. That means you have to disconnect from your existing network to connect to the scanner, and then switch back. It checks the "WiFi" box, but is not very nice to use.

It's a wi-fi usb external storage device. It.will connect without an outside wi-fi network, as it has its own wi-fi radio.

I'm not sure if you mean internet or ethernet. This is a router and uses either a WiFi signal or a CAT5 ethernet to create a hotspot for your devices with NAT. It will not act as a larger antenna to bring in WiFi where there is no WiFi. If there is WiFi nearby that your devices are not seeing, look for a wireless antenna such as Radio Labs.

It does work as a Wi-Fi hotspot if you download one of several Wi-Fi hotspot apps. At least one of the apps is free. Another user has posted a YouTube video with the instructions.

Sorry, I don't know if you can or not. I'm using it with my internet and it works fine for that purpose. But then I am using the wireless for my Colored Nook but then again, it's thru the internet connection. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.
