Can I eliminate my internet service thru AT&amp;T for my home computer or do I still have to pay for service?

Disagree with Ricky Stahlman. I have been using the Ideal works adaptor in an RV Park in Florida for the past month. Without this device the Parks wifi signal strength is very poor and mostly unuseable. With it the signal strength is consistantly 100%.

Unfortunately I don't have the answer for that as I purchased this Modem for my mother who uses AT&T.; Hope you're able to get the answer you seek soon!

You have the tmobile at home service that's $10/month, they no longer offer the service. Its been discontinued if you previously signed up for it, all you need is a sim and a router.

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

You can purchase AT&T 3G or 4G without any contract - just as needed. If you have wi-fi available, you can shut off the cellular data. I switch back and forth at my convenience.

I have comcast in my house as well, and it works just fine with my internet service! :)

No. I got it because it was not managed because my more tech friend said you don't want that hassle. When you power off you incoming internet it messes up the switch and I have to pull the power to reset it.

As long as you have Wi-Fi you do not need service mine connects to Wi-Fi at home or any free Wi-Fi If it is through a company with no Wi-Fi then you will need service

Doug, you do not say which service provider you have and this is an AT&T; DSL MODEM/ROUTER, works on the AT&T; DSL service. This modem/router has given me great service throughout my home, so if you have AT&T; as an internet provider, yes it will work, if you have trouble installing it, call AT&T; and they will walk you through the installation and if you have a different internet provider, I am not sure if it will work but should for it is made by Netgear for AT&T; and Netgear should work with all service providers. You should contact Netgear or your provider and ask if it will work with your service.

Yes, however you will have to call your service provider once you do so that they can make sure that there are no service interruptions.

Yes, you can use it for your desktop, if if AT&T's data plans are available in your area. You have to sign up for an AT&T data plan. Put in your ZIP code and it will tell you if you can use AT&T for this to get internet access. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/dataplans.html

It's a gateway. Big difference. Meaning it can do whatever you want it to. I'm asking them for a firmware upgrade so that I can bypass Time Warner for the phone provisioning. Time Warner is dragging their feet because they don't know how I got it to work. If you have Comcast then none of that matters.

It is a stand alone router and can be used to that effect without any subscription. Connection to the internet will require a 4g or wired service of course.

yes you can you can do anything that you would beable tto due on a normal pc or smart phone. they make a couple different models and one of them you can set up a wireless plan so u always have the internet through a provider just like if it was a cell phone

No, you will still need an Internet provider and wireless Internet service. This is intended to be used with an air card.

Its just a modem - you'll have to get a separate router. Unlike what comcast provides which is a dual purpose modem/router.
