When you are in 4g lte surfing , does it pick up wifi automatically when there is wifi service or vice versa?

I can't really answer that because when I am in a WiFi area I turn off data so that I don't waste it. I turn the data back on when I am out of a wifi if i need to go on the internet for some reason. I have never ran out of data by doing it this way. T-Mobile has always replenished the data without fail. Hope this helps. I have so far have no complaints with this book.James

It always prioritizes wifi - once you get to a known connection it will switch to it.

If WiFi signal is readily available (no matter how poor or slow that the WiFi signal is) the HP slate will try its best to connect to WiFi (assuming that you have required credentials/password) to preserve 4G LTE data consumption. If WiFi is too slow or not secure, then you can turn off WiFi on the device and turn on cellular data then it will get ONLY cellular (4G LTE or 3G if 4G signal is absent). You can "force" it to use WiFi and NOT cellular signal in settings OR you can "force" it to use cellular and NOT WiFi (as I do for secure on-line banking, when the WiFi available is public and not secured). I hope that this helps you!

The tablet receives two types of data. It has a sim card (3g/4g) and it has wifi. Both types have on off switches. When wifi is turned on it will seek and connect to open wifi signals even while 4g is already on.

I haven't had a problem with coming back into range with my phone and it reconnecting. Like all things, you have to set up your devices to connect automatically. There have been a few times, though, that I've had to reset the modem because the WiFi wasn't connecting but my desktop PC was (because it's hard wired). It's just one of those things. It even says in the instructions that you should reset your modem at least once a month.

It does not get LTE service. It is an older model hotspot. It will max our at whatever service you sign up for. If you sign up for 2 gb than it will got to 2G speeds after that.

from time to time it offers me the opportunity to connect to Verizon. I presume that indicates that there is a Verizon SIM card or equivalent inside the machine. But I only use it for surfing on wifi. I am too cheap to pay for a Verizon connection.

Yes, that is correct. I myself have chosen to only use for WiFi at the moment but have already verified I can add it to my Verizon account should I ever choose to.

I have downloaded several small apps over WiFi, but turned 3G data off before I activated the phone so can't tell you how well this feature works.

Yes, the tablet's settings automatically picks up on whatever network is available in your area. I hope this helps.

With a subscription to wireless provider. If you have internet already then you enable the settings on your device to pick up your signal.

no it creates its own wifi its better if there is no other wifi so the phone will pick up the cameras wifi signal

Yes it does automatically connects to your wifi but if you have a security password you have to enter it in the wifi settings

It has to be done using your phone, but your phone doesn't have to be on the same network while doing it. You first connect the unit using your phone and during the configuration, which is pretty easy but takes a couple of minutes for everything to connect to each other, but after that you should be good to go. I have used it over the data connection on my phone and not connected to wi-fi and had it work just fine. Plus, setting up the automatic on/off makes it even more convenient.

Well, all i can say is i have 4g wifi and it works super! I have 2 other tablets and of all three this is my favorite! I hope you can find the answer you are looking for... Goodluck!

Yes it will however it will not switch between the two. So if you are in a 4G area, go to a 3G area and then back to 4G, it will not switch from 3G to 4G automatically. You need to turn it off and back on again

Yes it should be! Once you have a wifi signal on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency it will pick up your signal clear as ever! Router brands make little difference!

Yes. We have 4g and we went from 2 bars to 5. Our first booster didn't work though, so if your phone doesn't connect, chances are it's a faulty tower.
