Does this allow me to connect to the internet if there is no free hotspots around?

Primarily it adds WiFi (Wireless) access to a wired Internet connection that you already have from the phone or cable company. It also has a local disk to automatically backup your computers.

the time capsule is a hotspot for your home. It connects to your cable internet at home, then your computer or tablet connects to the Time Capsule

The Time Capsule is a WIFI hot spot for your home or work. Like any hotspot it is not portable because a hotspot needs a physical connection to the internet. You need internet cable service, a cable modem and an ethernet connection from the modem to the Time Capsule. 1) You connect your modem to your cable service, 2) run an ethernet cable from the modem to the Time Capsule in a specified port, 3) Connect an additional Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule into one of the Ethernet ports to your computer to set up the WIFI hotspot giving a name to the time capsule, one to for your WIFI and a password for your WIFI - I suggest different names to avoid confusion. (Using Apple airport utility, I don't know what it is on windows). 4) Then disconnect the power from both the modem and the Time Capsule, 5) disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to your computer (NOT the one to your cable modem), 6) plug the power back into the cable modem and Time capsule power to synchronize them. You then a have your own WIFI-hotspot for your home or office (assuming all goes well). The Time Capsule is then a router for WIFI and ethernet and you can attach a USB 2.0 compatible NAS to it. (The Time Capsule, to my knowledge, does not support a DSL (telephone connection)).

We live on a mountain top so we DO NOT have internet via cable, satellite, etc. We only have our mobile hotspot, Verizon Jetpack. Most people have a modem which connects to their wireless router. If you do not have an ethernet cable to perform the initial set up for this camera, you cannot use the camera if you only have a hot spot.

Yes. That's why I bought it. I didn't want to pay for internet access, and the radio that came with my laptop wouldn't pick up a free hot spot close by. With this adapter, I can pick up a Linksys hot spot that is located at the airport, some 10 miles away. It was well worth the $18..I disabled the Atheros Qualcomm radio that came with my laptop. This product comes with a CD and info on a website for an updated driver that is free for the download. This will be one of your best investments on free internet access.

I have not tried that hotspot, but I use mine with a Clear iSpot and it works great. As long as the device has an internet connection, you should be able to use it without problems, however, it will definitely use up your bandwidth fast, especially if you are streaming HD. A true router would be fine to access your devices over the network as well.

In short, yes. Long answer, start reading the documentation. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Hotspot_Introduction

You do not need to connect to internet, you can use local network. You do need a computer to set it up.

I've connected to my mobile hotspot and to my home WiFi (using Century Link service and modem) with no problem. These are the only two connections I've tried.

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.

Yes, you have to connect with this either through its ow hotspot, an internet connection, or the cables that are provided.

You would need to check with your local provider as network systems are different between providers. However, I have an iPhone and use the hotspot to remain connected without the complications and expense of connecting to my provider.

No. It does not connect directly to the web. It may work okay to connect up a network not using the web but I am not using it that way.

This is an access point so it makes a wifi area. I guess that is what you mean by a hotspot ? You can setup a voucher/pay system.....but be warned asking customers to pay for wifi is also so "2004" ;).....best thing to do is offer free limited speed Internet which you can do with this product. It's great you can limit the upload and download speed of each user so no one can hog all of your pipe.

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.

No. There are online elements to the tablet, but I would say the majority of the tablet functions can be used without connecting to the internet.

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?

I believe so. I have no wifi but using this provides wifi in conjunction with hard wired internet.
