is wi-fi required or can you use a usb cable: Can they still use this and link to their computer with a usb cable?

Not sure about a cable direct to a PC - you can definitely use a jump drive to load it with pictures, but wifi is what really makes the frame stand out. The ability to email pictures directly to a frame is a HUGE win. If they have high speed internet, it might be worth hooking them up with a wireless router (to be clear, the frame connects to the router, NOT directly to a computer, via wifi) - you can find the linksys wrt54g pretty cheap now that it's a "past end of life" model.

No. You have the option to use the USB cable directly or you can configure it for wireless. You can choose either option.

You can setup wireless network, I believe. We have never done that. Its always connected to our computer.

Generally, people use this computer wirelessly. You spend about $20 and get the bluetooth/WiFi card. However, if wireless isn't available: search Amazon for USB ethernet adapter. Buy one and connect directly. You can do this for Bluetooth also for a total of two USB adapters, but now you're down to one USB! You may want to buy a USB mini-hub. Yikes.

You must have Internet. It can then be attached by wire or used wirelessly.

I don't remember if it had a USB cable, because I never needed it. I used the Ethernet jack and have shared among several computers. It does not have wireless.

You can print from both options WiFi or USB cable.... but I do believe on setup it does ask you to use USB cable...

Why don't they just say you need THEIR usb wireless adapter? I tried one I already owned and another one I paid for through my internet provider. This blows!

Use another computer to download the wireless drivers (and the rest of the drivers while you're at it). Transfer them over with a flash drive, and install them.

It can be connected to a desktop computer using USB cable if you don't use WiFi.

Ditto Mark Cook's response. You can get a wi-fi card for the mother board or Linkys makes a USB plug in wi-fi adapter. Hope this helps.JD Ennis

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!

No cd required when using the raspberry pi recommended wifi usb. If using a different on then you'll need to load drivers and it still might not work.

I was told I could use anything a usb port would use. I have plugged in a usb mouse and it work right awayI use it at home with my wireless internet. It connect up with that no problem. I haven't tried elsewhere. I believe it will work.
