No it only allows your computer to connect to wifi networks available. It does not provide service.

This only works in your home if you have a wireless router in another area of your home like at a main desktop computer. Hope this helps.

Hi, unless you connect the drive using a usb cable you will need wifi connection to use the drive. The drive itself provides wifi connection as it is a router. You of course will not have Internet access but will be able to transfer files and play media unless and existing Internet connection is active to a. ccess both the drive and Internet

Yes. Although I don't usually use my phone for internet use, I have seen that there is access in areas of available wifi.

Yes, it will, however they will upgrade your usb for 'free' but must agree to a two year contract. My advice? Buy an upgraded usb on Amazon and bring it into the store for them to activate it. WiFi is free and everywhere these days, a two year contract is a rip off, especially if they charge by the usage

I plugged it into a USB port in a pc that did not have wifi capabilities. ..it works great...but I am not sure about your situation

Based on my experience the Wifi will work while charging to a USB charger, however if you are connected to a computer as a drive the Wifi connection will not be availble.

Not on its own. You will need to connect it to a router or other device that gives USB devices access to the network.

Yes...it depends on the type of connection you are using. My husband is staying in a long term hotel and using the free WiFi and he has troubles keeping a connection. However, at home, connecting to our router, he has no problems at all. Keep looking for a stronger connection.

I tested with my home WIFI only (motorola wifi home adapter/router)and it worked just fine, not with 4G Hauawei's. Yes Wifi USB adapter Included, i believe you can return back if you are not satisfied.

No. It creates a wifi hotspot by itself. When you want to access it when you are carrying it u have to join that wifi hotspot which doesn't link to the internet.

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

I have the Freedom Spot Photon 4G and that all I need to provide wifi hot spot for my laptop, tablet, and smart phones. I do not have USB modem. I believe it serves the same function but you can only connect to device that has USB port and only one at a time. Wayne

No this is a USB device to have wireless internet on a laptop or desktop computer when you have a wireless router in your home.

Yes by connecting to wifi via usb port. I have to agree with Dirks about performance. I would say keep looking.

It has a regular USB connection. As far as Internet goes. It all depends on your Internet service.

As it has worked for me, I just plug in the cable and it works - your service provider has no control (and therefore cannot charge extra) over how you use the internet connection that you are already paying for. I found it to work seamlessly (used it mostly while travelling; in hotels where they have an internet connection/cable in the room but no wireless - yes there are many places like that in the world) with my tablet, iPad and phone.
