Why do you have to select a service provider + wifi or just wifi with this item?

I'm not sure exactly how to interpret your question, but I'll give an answer a try. Simply put, everyone who buys an iPad makes the same choice, that which is most appropriate to their anticipated needs. The wifi-only option, for instance, would be appropriate to folks who plan to use their iPad at home, or in hotel/motel accommodations which offer free wifi services to guests. The wifi + cellular option, on the other hand, would be more appropriate to folks who might wish to use their iPad camping, hiking, or the like. The main difference between the two (as you might suppose) is that usage and data charges might apply in the latter instance, depending on your cellular plan. Hope this helps.

Not totally clear on your question but we don't use a service provider we access it from a hotel which is just wifi

I'm not an advanced techie to totally know what your talking about, but my guess is it's an extender. It is tied to existing WiFi network with its password but I also give it it's own net name and password.

I don't use the same WIFI name (SSID), and I read somewhere there it's not recommended. Here's the reason. By having different SSID, I know which router or access point I am connected to. Otherwise, you don't know which one is causing the problem if there were any.

A wireless modem, basically has a wireless router built in so there isn't a need for a seperate wireless router to have Wi-Fi. I don't see why you couldn't use this with your wireless modem. You basically turn your wireless modem into a regular modem by disabling the Wi-Fi and enable it on the Netgear Router. I use a comcast modem (not wireless) with this router - works fine.

It is not a wireless or wifi router, will need to purchase an additional device.

This device is providing the WiFi service. You need an internet connection such as the one provided by AT&T.;

You don't need a wireless carrier (i.e. Verizon, AT&T.; T-Mobile, etc.) if you only want to use the Wi-Fi. But if you choose to keep your device on a network at all times, not just when you can find a Wi-Fi network, you would need to pay their monthly fee for the data services.

It is a wifi connection, so your internet provider will cover it for what your subscription is

Is better if you have a data plan... but if you have a wifi service in all parts when do you go... in that case you don't needed

You use with your existing wifi if you're in range. For example, if you're broadcasting from your home. Otherwise, you will have to use some other connection such as 3G/4G if you are broadcasting from a remote location.

It's wifi. No need for a cable so there's not one included. Not sure why it says that in the description.

It is used to connect your computer to your wireless router. So that you can receive network connectivity through Wi-Fi. Your router should have N bandwidth for this one to work with it's full potential.

No, I did a lot of research before I purchased this computer. I didn't bother to look for built in wifi as it is such a common feature. I expected it to be in there but it wasn't. Great computer other than that. PS Wifi dongles are cheap!

You have to go through all the features. There is one that states wifi, which must be turned on. When I have mine on, I will drop you another line.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

It doesn't provide wifi *at all*. This is a DSL modem for hooking other stuff up to the Internet. What you're looking for is a wireless access point (WAP). These days they usually come integrated with a switch (4+ Ethernet jacks for connecting things without wifi or that run better over wires - you may want this), and a router (key feature is DHCP, which hands out addresses to devices - you probably need this).If you don't have an Internet connection, or you do but you already have something to hand it off to other devices, you don't want this modem/router.
