Eh...Yo Vinny, you need an internet connection, this does not provide an internet connection.

This is just a portable router and repeater. You need to have an Internet connection for it to work. However, your internet connection may be wired or wireless, this product works with both.

Yes, you'll need an existing Internet "wired" connection., this is a router

Yes. Its just to connect your device I.e. computer to an existing wireless network via a router and internet provider.

Just need a computer and plug it into a router. Have been using if for over 6 months, but my first one which I bought used died so I have a new one now.

Yes, you would also need the modem. The internet provider I am currently using provided the modem, but I needed to purchase the router - so it is not "all in one".

It will connect just fine to the Internet Router; but it won't actually provide electrical power to the Router itself, you'll still need a separate power source.

Anything that has an iEthernet port can use this for internet. All this does basically is replace a long Ethernet cable with a wireless signal it pulls from your router no special drivers needed just hook to your pc the first time to log it to your network unplug it and put it wherever you want and it'll pull the wifi signal and send it through an Ethernet cable to whatever you need to have internet that didn't have wifi

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.

No, it needs a wired ethernet connection to the internet (through your router).

Nope. It has built-in WiFi and will connect directly to your router. Works well.

You must use a LAN cable out of the box. To add wireless internet you must buy a separate adaptor.

If your computer doesn't have built-in wireless, then yes, that's what this is for. You would hook up this to your ethernet jack on the back of your computer using a CAT5 cable. And then this device would wirelessly connect to your Internet router or modem to give you wireless access on your computer.

you need the internet. additionally,i never could get it set up without being able to hard wire it to a router before using it wirelessly. which made it useless for my situation.(no access to router, just a wireless signal.

No it does not need internet to work. It needs a wireless router though or a wired in ethernet.

As long as you have a router with a network in your home, or an access point if you're not home, that's all you need. The wifi is built in, you just have to connect to the network

As far as I remember it was connected to a modem. Then I plugged in my laptop. Now the cable provides its own router.

The computer comes with an AC adapter and everything you will need to get started. To get online, however, you will need an internet provider and either a wireless router or modem.
