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.

Yes. Not a problem. Although I have a local network, my whole set-up is wired because everything is close and that's the most direct way for me to handle it.

The best answer is already stated. As a closed network then no. You set the IP on the devices and all is well. If you want internet and not having to worry about statically assigning IP to the server or computer then a router with DHCP would be needed.

Yes you can! You download it and can use it from anywhere - no need for Internet once you've downloaded it!

Yes. You need Internet. Also you have to know your ip address and open a port for your router

Hello - no, it is not necessary to have WIFI or ifit operating to run the machine. In fact, I just decided to connect the WIFI tonight - assuming it was going to be much more difficult than it was. No big deal - it just connected to my home wifi system. I haven't gotten into ifit yet - but I love the treadmill so far. I wanted to buy a high-end commercial grade treadmill but price kept me from doing that. This is a GREAT alternative for your home.

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

No, this unit uses the same kind of wireless network that one uses to access the internet. A web address and web browser are used to set up the device.

Without an internet provider you cannot use this device. That is where your connection comes from.

You need to have it connected to the internet through it's Base station, which is hardwired to your router.

I hope this helps you. No you do not need the internet to use around your house, like a baby monitor just wireless or a Ethernet conn (LAN) Local Area Network. YES. If you want to see what is going on around the home when your away. (WAN) Wide Area Network. Set up on the internet must be done. Go to YouTube look for videos of how to set it up.I suggest to download the latest firmware and open a domain account with no-ip.com it is free.Greg

As the others stated, it does require an ethernet cable to connect to the internet or to other devices in your house.
