If you want to use the network services (Email, Facebook, Weather, etc), then yes.If you only plan to load images from memory card or computer (with appropriate USB cable - not included), then No, but if that's the case there are other products that may be better for your needs.

If I'm understanding correctly, you're asking if this is the only thing you'd need to have wireless? Technically no, since it has to be paired up with a modem.

No. It needs to be physically connected to an Ethernet port either through a wall jack or another router.

No it is a router. Some form of wifi or ethernet has to be available For it to do its job.

Im pretty sure you need the Wifi; I havent tried it yet though so your guess is as good as mine

No, I do not think so. It needs to connect to WiFi or an Ethernet connection.

Nope, it comes WiFi ready. As long as you have wireless capabilities at your house, you're good to go.

I have wi fi in my house, but it picked it up with nothing else to do. Did not need to buy a plan with it.

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

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

As long as you have WiFi, yes. If all you have is a wired router, then no. You need WiFi since this has no physical ethernet port.

I believe so, but you will need a hard wire connection to the internet; the unit does nothave wireless wi-fi.

If your question refers to Wi-Fi, the answer is NO! This modem is not Wi-Fi ready. YOU will need a router connected to the modem to access a wireless Wi-Fi connection.

Yes. You may need to connect the radio to an Ethernet cable for the initial set-up but after that it uses your home WiFi and no network cable is needed.

Built in Wifi means that you can connect to your home wireless internet without the need for a cable running through your home.

it has wifi. If your house has a modem and a router, then yes it does and yes they can if they're tech savvy. If they don't have a modem and router, you're out of luck. Again, depending on how tech-smart your parents are, they would have set a pass code on the internet access already from the router.

Basically yes. There are a few requirements, there has to be a wireless hotspot nearby, if it is protected you must know the password.
