No. If you have a wireless connection, chances are you don't need anything else. I did, however, as I am using a free-wireless connection and don't have access to the main router. I just hooked the connector to my laptop and created a Nintendo-exclusive access point for both my DS and Wii.

You can use as a tablet without connecting. I only connect when I need to, that saves battery time.

No. You definitely don't. I installed two of them, they connect to your wireless router (network) very easily. I used my iPhone to connect them, just follow the instructions. I'm very happy with them

When I first got mine I did not have Wifi, I just couldn't access online parts of the game. The System works fine without Wifi.

you have the AIR then?well then you don´t need any WLAN usb stick because it has the chip onto the board. you just need a router and connect it to your network.edit: remember this is a "forum" for the R1, not the AIR. one important difference between the R1 and the AIR version is that the R1 doesnt have the wireless option built in. the AIR version does.what many people did was what I told you in the first post. the owners of the AIR version dont have to worry about how to enable to connect wirelessly, it already has it!

If you have no SD card (needs to be class 10 btw), yes you need it near the console to plug it in. If you do have a SD card, just flip the switch to SD card and your good.

You're not connecting via a Wi-Fi network, per se. The user's manual provides you with an IP address. If you put that in any browser, while the wand is on, you can see and download whatever you've scanned.But don't do that. It's a waste of batteries, so is connecting by USB. And this thing eats batteries. It actually recommends leaving the batteries out of it when not in use.Most computers come with SD card readers now. The micro SD card you're using came with an adapter. Use that to dump your scans directly onto your computer.Then your OS doesn't matter.

You can just put the game into the leap pad and play, no Internet connection needed. I did eventually connect the leap pad to the computer. It uploads a bit more content into the leap pad. If you don't have Internet or want to connect to your computer, it works right away without it.

Eleanor - not sure I can fully answer this. We don't yet have wireless in our house, so I have not downloaded many apps/games. I did download 3 free games on there for my daughter (from Google Play) and we were able to play 2 of them, but not the 3rd...but I have had the same problem on my Android phone before.

It should connect to the wi-fi u currently have in your home, I had no problem hooking mine up. Try to reset your wi-fi then try again. If you can't get it contact the seller, they are great to deal with.

As others have said, you can use it but it doesn't work perfectly (we do use it). I read that they are coming out with a new adapter on May 1 that supports the Click Connect better. I would wait for that new model.

Not sure why, when 1st turning it on and you go into the menu to setup Wi-Fi , find your network and select it. then you should have to enter your password or code if your Wi-Fi is locked for security purposes. after you enter it should auto connect. My tablet gets used all over a 2 story house and has had no problems with keeping the connection.

The device has to be connected with a cable (The unit does not have integrated WIFI tech) but you could connect it to a Wifi device eg apple airport extreme...

Hello Melody, I do not understand what you mean by not having WiFi ? What it is, is a USB WiFi adapter, meaning if you have access to a wireless connection this will allow you to connect to a WiFi connection. It works on a with a desktop or a laptop. But you have to have access to a wireless connection via a router.

I just ordered a Toshiba L645D-S4036, and the specs say there is no port to plug in a modem. Does this mean that I will have to get wi-fi installed in my home in order to use the internet on my laptop when I'm at home? Sorry to sound ignorant--I am!

I had no problem with connecting using wifi. No problem with app store. Are you using wifi or Ethernet - can only use one or the other. If using Ethernet then check to see if it is turned on in setting. It has to be manually enabled. Are you able to browse the net? If not then I would think that the problem is the network connection or bad unit. Hope this helps.
