It says can hook up to an external power adapter, so if I find myself somewhere without a laptop and just my iphone and/or ipad this will work?

No -- It requires an external power source. You can either use a USB cable to connect to a computer or plug it into the wall with the supplied power cord. It can't draw power from your phone/iPad.

If your tablet/phone has that ability then yes, it should be able to connect. I have not used it for these devices.

If you have access to an external power adapter and you have to tp-link appliance configuration to the right mode it should work. So you will be able to use it as a wifi hotspot to connect your iphone or ipad to it. If there is no external power adapter spot and you only have a iphone/ ipad than the tplink is useless cause it needs a power source. In that case you can use 1 special adapter if the have it here at amazon that can be used to power up appliances (charge ) via usb.

Yes. It comes with an a/c power adapter and will work with any USB power source.

You will need an external power source, but it worked well on battery power like a zagg sparq

You will need an iPhone type charger or use the USB from the computer.No dedicated charger supplied.

Not sure. I used one end to connect to an ac adapter and the other to transfer data, but it didn't work, it didn't generate enough power. So, I'm thinking depending on the device, probably not. Hope this helps

I don't know if it'll work with out the ac adapter. I do use it to run a Raspberry Pi, without any other power source so I would assume yes.

No you have to use a power adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKU7U6W

I use the bluetooth function to run my iPhone and iPad through the system. There is a USB port on the back so I would think a laptop would not be an issue, but I have not tried it. I hope this helps.

Hi. With this device, you do not need any external power. The device brings it all included and takes what it needs directly from their computer. It works excellently. Regards. Vincent.

Should be fine just need a USB converter to charge it. I powered a dual USB and can power iPhone and iPad with this.

Well, yes, using the proper cable to the iPad, it will supply power to your device. I don't believe it will fully recharge your iPad, but will certainly extend it's usability.

I has a standard iPhone charger input, so it could plug into an outlet adaptor or a USB port on your computer.

No, it will only work with a computer and cannot be used as a hub for power.

I use it offline with the power on to charge my iPhone, iPad, or iPod with no problems whatsoever. So in my experience it does work with Apple devices.

No. The laptop alone would but the dock is too bulky, IMO. You could probably make it work with some ingenuity.

I think you'll need the adaptor, I have only used it for IPad and IPhone 4.

Nope. It works without any external power source and yes it works just fine.
