How about just wearing one of these? <br />

Why do you need any other device for that? Your tablet should be able to see the wireless access points when you open the settings tool.

As a traveling salesman, I know that certain hotels/Walmart/restaurants<wbr /> offer free hotspots. &nbsp;I've seen on Amazon where people buy devices (that come with software) to attach to their laptops which gives them much longer range than what you would normally get. &nbsp;This works out great for someone like myself and or motor homes.<br />
Problem I have is that I can't install the software on my tablet so I have to physically drive up to one of the places to check and see if they are one of the places that offer free wifi. &nbsp;All I am looking for is a way to extend the range to 3/4 of a mile so I won't waist a lot of time looking for a place. &nbsp;I have downloaded several Apps that claim they can identify free hotspots but haven't found one that is reliable.

Thank you so much for this information. &nbsp;Please stay with me as I'm a little slow. &nbsp;So you are saying 1) find a USB wireless land card that has a connector on it to connect to the antenna. &nbsp;2) Does the card have a USB port that would allow me to connect it to the Tablet?
</div>


<div>
He's talking about a laptop. I doubt USB wireless LAN dongles will work on a tablet.
</div>


<div>
Yep, probably not going to work on the tablet. <br />
<br />
I guess it would be POSSIBLE to throw a USB wireless NIC into a laptop, set up Internet Connection Sharing and relay to the tablet, but that would be a lot of complexity and stuff to carry around.

Okay, convinced. &nbsp;Looks like the only way to extend wifi coverage (to bring in a wifi signal from a long distance), is going to be through an antenna and there is no way to connect an antenna to my tablet. &nbsp;Everything else that I've looked at requires software installation (which I can't do on a tablet) so the only other tough is to buy a Hotspot device from one of the major carriers which would give the tablet immediate coverage no matter where I am. &nbsp;Does everyone agree?

Hi, Is there any hardware (wifi receiver) that I could connect to my Galaxy Tablet to help me find Hotspots while I'm on the road? &nbsp;I see many items on Amazon but they all require drivers which would work well on a computer but don't know how I could install drivers on a Tablet. &nbsp;Could I install the drivers on the computer and then transfer them to the Tablet? &nbsp;So to be clear, I am asking two questions here.<br />
One - Is there hardware that doesn't require software <br />
Two - Could I transfer drivers from computer to Tablet<br />
Thanks

Hardware to find Hotspots for Galaxy tablet while traveling

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
