I'm mostly interested as a mobile wifi to connect my laptop. What are the pros &amp; cons there???

My S2 provides the only internet service in my home. It is just as fast as any high speed or satellite internet provider I've ever used.

It is better to do that ... I am not sure though why you need it if your laptop built-in wifi is working. If you are gonna use it it is better to stick to using it the time to avoid IP issues.

You can use it as a wifi repeater or broadcast WiFi using an ethernet connection or a mobile usb dongle. You can also use it as a wifi nas server. Hope this answers your question.

Not directly. This connects to a laptop via a USB port. Depending on the laptop, the laptop may be able to throw a signal, but the device itself only provides service to the laptop connected via USB. If you're looking for something that gets a cellular data signal and then allows other devices connect to it via WiFi, that is a "Mobile HotSpot" or "MiFi". But with all of these items, be aware of the data fees. It's very easy to run up usage without realizing how quickly the meter is running.

Personally I would not recommend for heavy on line usage. Once you set the wifi it has a tendency to either lose the set up which means you have to put in the password several times, I also find that the screen is rather small for that. you constantly have to scroll back and forth on facebook because the screen is to small to hold one page.

Yes, it would be very useful. Buy and carry with you.Most places now have wifi for free.

wifi is fine. no issues with connectivity. I'm not a fan of win8 but I can use it fine on this laptop with no touchscreen.

Most laptops have a built-in antenna. They are usually pretty good, so I don't see the point in using a USB wireless receiver. You could always connect to your router with a lan cable, or if it has a wireless transmitter (WI-FI) you could connect wirelessly. I don't thing you could connect the flat panel antenna to your laptop.

O yeah, absolutely. I have had mine for a year and can get wifi connection for all my devices. Go for it!

I've actually had issues with this. I sometimes use it in my bedroom which is two rooms away from my router and it will have trouble connecting to WiFi. Both my laptop and my phone connect fine in my bedroom.

Yes. Your speed will depend on the connection to cell service, 4G would be preferable. The 5 gigs of data sold with these is pretty limiting and will run out quickly when using a laptop.

It doesn't provide wifi *at all*. This is a DSL modem for hooking other stuff up to the Internet. What you're looking for is a wireless access point (WAP). These days they usually come integrated with a switch (4+ Ethernet jacks for connecting things without wifi or that run better over wires - you may want this), and a router (key feature is DHCP, which hands out addresses to devices - you probably need this).If you don't have an Internet connection, or you do but you already have something to hand it off to other devices, you don't want this modem/router.

You should be able to...works with my laptop. But WHY would you want a PC running on WiFi? Instead of just hard-wired??

I would suggest not to waste your money on this. Get the MIFI from Carrier you will probably spend less. Use this slot for MSATA drive is much pratical. I end up return the unit and order the MIFI from AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint. 4 LTE run a lot faster than the Globi Card. The T530 should already have WIFI using your 802.11 A/B/G/N to connect to MIFI small little unit to carry in your backpack while you travel and can be share with your phone, computer and other device that run 802.11

Please be specific. Are you talking about the Android system come with it or Ubuntu? You should have no wifi problem for android but Ubuntu might be a little difficult. You can read my post here: (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?6,12905) and we can discuss from there.

Hello,I actually sent mine back and just went to Verizon and bought one. I never even opened this one. The one I bought from verizon was a MiFi and I Love it . We connect up to 5 laptops and the speed is fine. We have a plan with verizon and pay $10.00 a month for it. I believe we have a 3 gb plan

Yes, it will give you wifi in the whole house (I have 3 story and large yard) and it also is fast. I have a laptop, a tablet and I also have to D-Link WIFI cameras for security on it. Yes, they also sell cameras that you can connect through the internet using this router and have access to the camera from anywhere in the world with a Internet connection and the D-Link Website.
