You must go to a wifi spot. Some bookstores, some fast food places, some libraries are hotspots. You can also buy devices which tell you if a wifi hotspot is nearby and usable. Try Wendy's, McDonald's, or Barnes and Noble.

Are you putting in the correct router password ? I had the same with my Galaxy Tab and my internet provider informed told me I was entering the wrong password . After I entered the right information , the connection was complete. I hope info helps.

Try using connectify and setup your own hotspot off of your computer. This will allow other computers to connect to your hotspot.

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

You can connect either by wire or wireless from Apples. Just remember it's for connection to ADSL, not cable. You can still use it without having ADSL in your house or whatever. You configure it with a web browser if you have a non-MSWindows computer. I didn't try setting it up initially from a wireless connection, but it might work.

Hi Samuel! I really can't think of any other solutions, but maybe resetting your router? Try that and see what happens. Sometimes resetting can help in most situations! Like, I said I don't have any issues with it, though! If that don't help just ask around to see what works! Hope that helps!

Hello - I find using this device very sporadic .. meaning my wifi kicks out every single day.. if I am away from unit say 100 feet - I am NOT very happy at all with the performance - BUT I say this .. not knowing if it is in fact our main router - although I did have another much less expensive device that I used (Securifi Almond-Touchscreen Wireless Router extender) and that worked so well .. but it was not meant for the outdoors. I wish I had done a bit more investigating .. for the money spent .. I am not happy ..sorry ..

You can use an Ethernet cable to connect this device to an Ethernet port on your router. By plugging the USB connector on this device into a USB port on your computer you can achieve a wired connection to your network. This device does not provide WiFi capabilities.

Yeah this can work once you have access to your router outside your network that this device is connected to and you should be fine

Well since you're a Netgear employee, why does my adaptor work flawlessly with my computer and won't even let my ps3 or xbox connect to the internet? A little off-subject but your time is appreciated.

When I first got this router I had trouble getting it to allow my Lap Top to link up but my cell phone worked from the get go?Try hitting the re-set button instead of un-plugging the router.Even now if the power goes off I have to re-set the entire system.Hope that helps!

You do not need to connect to internet, you can use local network. You do need a computer to set it up.

U have to have internet to have WiFi. If u do have internet that isn't wireless u would have to get a router to hook up to ur internet to obtain wireless internet.

What I would recommend is to plug your modem into a router that has at least WPA2 security options then plug the TP-Link to the router. Why you may ask? You should never connect your computer through the modem without a router, its like going to war without weapons. By having the modem connected to a router then the tp-link you have a line of defense for internet threats. If you do not already have a router, please do yourself a favor and buy one, it will save you in the longrun they are currently fairly cheap.

Ugh. I was hoping I was just missing something really obvious. To connect any other devices to my network, all I've ever had to do was enter the password.UPDATE: Apparently the problem was with my router. After turning it off for the night, it worked this morning.

Just how old is your router? This never really had an issue with WiFi... The issue was with people with old routers.
