You must go to a wifi spot. Some bookstores, some fast food places, some libraries are hotspots. You can also buy devices which tell you if a wifi hotspot is nearby and usable. Try Wendy's, McDonald's, or Barnes and Noble.

Disconnect from the wireless and then go to the properties for your home connection. Just uncheck automatically connect. From their on it should only connect when you manually connect to the wifi.

Ugh. I was hoping I was just missing something really obvious. To connect any other devices to my network, all I've ever had to do was enter the password.UPDATE: Apparently the problem was with my router. After turning it off for the night, it worked this morning.

This is only a modem. If you need to connect to the internet over wifi, you need to connect the modem to a router that supports wifi.

You would only need internet connectivity if you want to access it away from home. You would need a local area network consisting of a router and the TCP gateway to operate it locally with your computer, tablet, or phone. They also make a handheld remote, I dont have one, so no idea how that works.

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

This device can only connect to your existing network over wifi. It clearly says that in the manual. I had to return mine assuming that this device would have an access point mode, but after 45 minutes on a chat with support they confirmed it could not. If you want an access point from Netgear you need to buy a router and turn it into access point mode.

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

You can access the internet with a tablet like this anywhere that there is a wireless hot spot (wi-fi), which nowadays is practically everywhere, without paying for it (coffee shops, hotel rooms, etc.). You will not be able to use the internet at home if you do not already have internet service set up with a wireless router there.

Have you had any problems at all connecting your Ps3 to the internet with this router. Do you connect using a Ethernet cable? Can you please give me some instructions on how to connect?

I am having connectivity issues with my new Sony TV. I am using a wireless connection to my router. I set the connection up, and all works fine. After I turn the TV off, and come back, I have to repeat this process. The TV will see the router, it is connected, but says no internet. Any ideas? Software bug?

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

if your computer can communicate IP over WiFi, then you should have no problem. This is the same as connecting to a home router. All it does is extend the range of your current router, you don't need to do anything to your computer, just connect to the internet through your router as you did before, using the same SSID and password ( if necessary). This device will allow you to do this further away from your router than you used to do.

Once set up, this is true, nothing but the router needs to be within wireless range. It does need a computer (or tablet will work, too, I think) with a wireless connection for the initial setup.

The device did not work well in my house. Sometimes I could get online but most of the time, I couldn't. HP and HughesNet both finally suggested that I have an Ethernet cable installed. Now I connect my laptop to the internet whenever I want. The device may work perfectly in another house. We were told that there is something in the construction of our house that was blocking the signal because of the soundproofing in our bedroom/living room wall.

I'm sorry I can not help you. I had the same problem with wifi. I would get it to connect for a short time and then it wouldn't. I ended up putting it in a bedroom near router and not bothering with it. Bought a LG bluray player that has no problems connecting. I also put an wifi extender in the living room

Good question. Well it has to be connected to a modem or router that's connected to the Internet Mary.
