can it be used while traveling to access the Internet?

Yes as long as you have access to a WiFi connection. We purchased ours specifically for this purpose and have use it all over the U.S., Europe, Argentina and Chile. Connecting to WiFi in hotels and coffee shops is way easier than with a Windows lap top computer.

Of course! As long as you have wifi or tethering. I travel with it everywhere. Across the states and with me during the day of necessary.

I don't see why you couldn't. We had trouble getting on the net using our wi-fi, and once we got on it was very slow going. But if you can get on and move around you should be able to watch anything on there

Probably not. Shortly after we bought it, it started to suck. If you are on the laptop and someone else is on the internet, the internet stops working.

I think you can, although I did not use it for that. I used it in a hotel to turn a "high speed internet connection" (wired) into a wireless access point for mobile devices.

Yes, you can use it via usb tethering. And this is responsible for distributing the signal for wifi

I'm so "dumb" about computer stuff....but I would like to know what do I need to have internet when I am visiting,etc. Is there a portable device that would allow me to have access,regardless where I was???

Yes it can, but the blocking of the wifi exclusively with the use of the rest of the device would not

I suppose so. Once this product is setup, you can use it like you would use a normal Ethernet cable; you could plug it into a device's Ethernet port, or plug it into a wired router to use it with multiple devices. Of course, if you use this product to provide internet to several devices at once, it is possible that the internet connection will be slowed.hope this makes sense,Lode

No you cannot, your device(phone tablet laptopetc.) will pick up the router even allow you to connect but you will have no internet access. it is an effective long lasting router for DSL connection but not for your phone. I bough tone on eBay and I asked the dude if I could use it to relay a 4G signal from my phone he said yes I in turn bought it. After I noticed I couldn't I asked him what was wrong he apologized and said something about a internet card. I kept it for my DSL and it also charges devices.

This device was meant for use back in the day when hotels only used to provide wired ethernet connections, so, it does not provide a wireless internet connection on its own. It is handy if you're traveling to a place that WiFi connections are not prevalent.

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.

i believe you can use it with out the gate way but you will not be able to use the feture of controlling it with you're phone or lap top

Yes. Although I don't usually use my phone for internet use, I have seen that there is access in areas of available wifi.
2067373
Yes, you can. This little router can give internet access to any wifi enabled device.

You can still use it but you just can't go online or anything that require Wi-Fi/internet. Hope this answer your question. :)

I don't think so. The idea behind this is to buy a pre-paid SIM card with data/Internet access from a wireless carrier. When hooked into a usb port it will provide that computer access to the Internet over the wireless providers network.

yes. You can even use it when gaming it just may not be the fastest available option.
