Do we need additional modem or wifi if we get this product in order to use internet....?

If you have DSL, this is a modem, router and access point. It will provide wifi and internet connection (with an appropriate account) however the refurb unit I received disconnected so often as to be useless. At the very least, I'd stick clear of refurbs.

It is better to do that ... I am not sure though why you need it if your laptop built-in wifi is working. If you are gonna use it it is better to stick to using it the time to avoid IP issues.

Technically, yes, you can use this device without a modem. This device will not, however, provide access to the internet. If you have several devices that you want to all talk to _each other_ then this would do that. I suspect you mean, "Can I use this device to connect to the internet without a modem" then then answer is no..It's a subtle and somewhat technical difference, but it might help someone in the future...

No it does not need internet to work. It needs a wireless router though or a wired in ethernet.

This is not a wireless system, so no wifi is needed. And you can setup the system without internet, thanks.

It requires the wifi adapter, it's a $70 add-on. I did a review on it, it's pretty much requires.

No, this is just a wifi distributor of internet. To fetch information from internet, you will need either a) an RJ45 (ethernet) cable that is already connected to an internet source. or b) a usb 4g modem (like T-mobile Jet). So, in short, this just adds wifi convenience.

Yes you still need an Internet service provider. This unit just helps you get a greater distance from a WiFi source.

Yes among other things. You will also need to hook your modem up to a wireless router. This little thing enables you to receive an internet signal from the wireless router.

No you need the modem that Comcast provides, it's a lot bigger with a different config. This one quit after a couple of months use and they would not refund my money just offered another junk one like it.

I'm thinking you mean, with a router. If so, yes. Just make sure that a wifi card is installed before you purchase.

Must have modem connected to Internet. Yes they will help you. With anything.

Hello. If you will need to get on the Web away from your wireless (whether that be at home or work), then yes, you will need to add it to your Verizon service. For us, we didn't have to, since everywhere we go, we can connect to wireless Internet. You can also purchase a plug in adapter that fits into any standard wall outlet and get WIFI without having to purchase extra WIFI service through Verizon. We have one that I bought here on Amazon, and that seems to work well. Hope this helps. Try a universal WI-FI repeater and extender search on Amazon if you don't wan't/need to purchase extra service. It may be less expensive for you.

The one I purchased for my sister did have a modem, but with WiFi, she isn't using it since her internet connection is via her cable modem and WiFi router. (I can't imagine it wouldn't have one since most of these computers are returns from business leases) If you are still concerned, I recommend you call the seller and ask to be sure. PS, you might also ask if they will include the Windows re-install disc so if the hard drive dies, you will be able to re-install Windows without having to lay out the cash to buy it. Mine did not come with the disc, but they sent it upon request. It likely will NOT have MS Office or other software with it - just windows XP. Good luck!

Needs Ethernet cable, but can be expanded to WiFi with additional not included WiFi dongle.

This is just a modem. You will need a router to distribute wifi around your place.

Yes you will also need a wireless router that connects to this modem and pushes out your wireless internet signal.
