I would have returned it.

"It's for the basement room, no WiFi there" if the shop argues.

Did you return it? All manufacturers should be punished for requiring an internet connection for basic features.

I wouldn't connect that thing to the internet.

dave1619 | karma 4262 | avg karma 6.33 · | 2011-02-26 17:16:23+00:00

I'd just use wifi.

baddox | karma 23383 | avg karma 2.25 · | 2015-10-31 07:23:01+00:00

Presumably the machine wouldn't have Internet access.

I made the conscious decision to buy one since it was a good deal. But you bet I’m never hooking this thing up to WiFi.

Wow, I didn't realize that there was no wifi on this thing.. that's a deal breaker for me.

> They both work perfectly well without any connection to anything, and not once have they even tried to get me to connect them.

Is there an open Wi-Fi network nearby?

No Wifi?

Plough_Jogger | karma 319 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2014-10-29 15:33:05

No wifi?

nfriedly | karma 6876 | avg karma 3.44 · | 2017-01-16 07:10:25

It looks like it doesn't have Wi-Fi (?)

rschmitty | karma 871 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2014-05-14 17:53:40+00:00

That computer is not connected to the internet.

sverhagen | karma 2205 | avg karma 2.42 · | 2023-05-15 03:25:51

There's presumably no router in this setup.

jasonkostempski | karma 4129 | avg karma 2.61 · | 2016-09-04 20:20:45+00:00

In addition, it shouldn't be connected to the internet.

RandomBacon | karma 1882 | avg karma 2.26 · | 2019-12-28 19:22:42+00:00

I interpreted as: we have no guarantee that they won't need an internet connection to operate.

kkarakk | karma 395 | avg karma 0.38 · | 2018-11-30 11:11:00+00:00

>Do they have internet?

no

sib | karma 2211 | avg karma 2.15 · | 2021-05-13 20:34:45+00:00

Ah, yes, but I did not have access to Wi-Fi either. My phone could not connect to the internet. The (borrowed) desktop computer was online.

mavhc | karma 3259 | avg karma 1.49 · | 2019-01-12 00:05:14

Probably, they didn't like to use wifi

msoad | karma 8164 | avg karma 5.05 · | 2023-09-28 01:05:30

Why there is no WiFi? Without wireless internet connection it's almost useless for me

FabHK | karma 14253 | avg karma 2.82 · | 2020-02-07 15:08:27+00:00

That's not something I expected to read in the description of a fan:

"Purifier and fan. Not wifi compatible."
