If I buy this device it can create it's own WiFi and I do not have to pay the cable company anymore?

WiFi is NOT the same as cellular data. This device does however include a USB port for the use of a cellular data connection. (See your local Cell shop for info on a USB device.) Alternatively, this device can use its wireless capabilities to receive Internet from another wireless router, just as if it were a Laptop receiving a signal. US Law requires the other party to consent to your "leeching" and may also be limited by their ISPs EULA. (You're looking for terms like "Station" "Access Point" and "WDS")

The device will search out a wi fi signal and show it on your device (computer, etc.). In the home application the router is connected to the phone line and it picks up the signal for use. WiFi zones at restaurants, shop doctors offices will also be found for use. Hope this helps.

It creates a local WiFi network. It cannot connect you to the internet without an Internet provider, such as the cable company.

It is a wifi connection, so your internet provider will cover it for what your subscription is

LOLOL I hear you. My GUESS is that if Verizon gives you an Ethernet feed from their Fios run, then absolutely YES. My guess is they will try to sell you or "word" you into thinking you have to have their router. Ask them clearly if you will get an Ethernet feed without their router. As part of their service, from some of the FIOS installs I have seen, their "smartjack" has an Ethernet output so you might be lucky. hope that helps.

The unit comes with its own wifi hub but you do not need it if you already have wifi. You do need broadband in some form with a wifi unit - your own or the one that comes with it. I use my home wifi setup and the phone connects by wifi to it without any problems. Was an easy setup for me.

It will work on its own you do not have to use the internet or network access

I don't think so, I called my cable company and they did whatever they did to activate it. U will need password which is on label with a lot of numbers and letters below WPA-PSK

Free wifi? yep. If it has a password then, no, unless you have the password. I use one of my cable companies hot spots to use my kindle at work.

Hello, Yes you can. I have this due to the fact I decided to get rid of my cable.

Depends. It is not a 3G unit (which would require an account with a wireless provider anyway). This device will create a wifi connection as long as you have a wired internet connection available to plug into. You may also be able to use as a repeater for an existing weak wifi signal.

J Grady is right. After you've paid your cable bill or what not, it's all FREE and easy, just like on a laptop! It can connect to unsecured networks without a password - like some coffee shops. And secured networks with one - like some hotels.It's really, really fast and easy. See if you have a wireless router in your home. If not, check out Best Buy, you can get one for under $50.

Works great for me. You just need to go through the startup so your cable provider can register your serial number.

Yes this works fine with Comcast and Charter (or any cable internet company), but you can't use it with their telephone service (so if you sign up for internet and telephone you have to get a different model). This device is an all in one with included WiFi, which makes it a great small device that covers all your bases. It isn't DOCSIS 3.0, but that doesn't matter since Comcast speeds don't even reach the capacity of DOCSIS 2.0

This device has no wireless ability it's just a modem with phone and network ports. Also not it will not work with Comcast (not well documented). You will need some kind of wireless device to create a WiFi network.

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

another thing you could do is, if you feel you are not an average know it all call the cable co and ask them and follow their advise. If you want to surf the web make yr system wireless and buy a wireless router and a modem hook them up and forget about paying big money for cable and buy a wifi antenna and save money

It is a wireless router for internet access; MTA for a phone and a cable modem all in one, which basically means you dont have to pay rental for the phone, tv and internet devices.Thanks

No. But you do have to have access to a network connection. So for example if you're staying in a hotel which has poor wi-fi (I just stayed in such a place recently) but there is a wired internet connection, you can simply hook this up and have your own wi-fi connection. If you're planning on using this for your home network, there would be the normal monthly internet connection fee through your cable or telephone or satellite TV company. But that monthly charge happens whether you're using this device or not.
