Nancy, yes you do need a DSL phone line and no you do not need a computer to hook up to it. if you are just going to use all your wireless/Wi-Fi equipment.

Yes (DSL service requires a hardware line to your location), though some providers do not require you to have actual voice telephone service on the line. You don't need to hook a computer directly to it, the WiFi will work on its own.

Yes you need a phone line to set it up. You don't need a computer to hook it up as it has an inbuilt wireless router.

As for a phone line, you do not have to have landline service, but the Actiontec unit does require a phone jack to access your DSL service. The unit does not have to be connected to a computer constantly. You will need to connect to it initially (I believe wired or wirelessly) to set it up, but any tablet, laptop, desktop, etc. should be fine. Hope this helps!

I have everything on the phone line. I have a 3-way splitter with the phone, fax/printer/2620 and the computer. It is on Cableone, and works great.

It's a standalone unit. You do not need a computer for regular operation. You just need to connect this unit to your network via wired or wireless connection.

Yes, a phone line is required in order for the system to dial out. My recommendations would be simple talk, vonage or Verizon's home phone connect.

No other hardware is necessary just make sure that you purchase an analog phone and that you have analog lines

No, this PC can't be connected to telephone line directly. It can be connected through the router with LAN connection only and through the wireless connection as well. It's very hard to find this kind of laptops today...Rgds

We absolutely mean no installation. There's no telephone wires or cable lines that need to be installed. Our device uses existing cell phone towers to get you online. All you have to do is plug it into a wall outlet, connect to the wifi network and you're online.

It needs to be hooked up to a computer to get set up. It doesn't need the computer to function. It is complicated to set up. I had my IT friend do it and it took him a few hours.

You are correct. Plug in the USB port, then plug into line in, and add the telephone, if you want to. I do not use it. I just use the line in for dialing services and my phone is accessing the line from another port.

If it isn't hardwired directly to your computer, yes. If you have wifi you need a router.

No, it just needs a telephone line. Either tip and ring from the phone company (POTS) or connect using modem to internet telephone service provider.

No. I don't have one. I got rid of the home phone line to save a lot of money.

You don't need a phone. A computer will work. Device does not stand alone. However it does give you current information. Computer gives you history

It needs to be connected only to a telephone line. No connection to the Internet required.

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

Correct .. You do not need a computer but merely a DSL / cable internet connection ... However, internet speed needs to be decent ... I.e. 3kb down and 1 up .... Otherwise your conversation will not be clear... Winderful phone
