Hi bigbird!

What is mi-fi? Same as wi-fi?

Sort of like the same thing except Mi-Fi is your personal Wi-Fi. In other words you buy a small portable modem/router about the size of a cigarette pack but much thinner. You pay for an internet plan and you have access to the internet via your personal Wi-Fi. You can connect up to five devices to the modem/router at one time.

I currently have the Claro usb stick but that won't work with an IPad because the iPad and my iTouch do not have a usb port. So if I can get this modem/router device I can have Mi-Fi and be able to use my iPad or iTouch to connect to the router thus giving me internet access.

I originally tried using the Win7 adhoc network but iPad won't connect to an adhoc network.
