“We live in the middle of the country, so our wifi is through our phone's hotspot. Are we still able to schedule the cleanings and set up the room maps if the roomba isn't always hooked up to wifi? Or do we have to press the clean button each time?”

I believe it requires a WiFi connection for scheduling
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Once you have the initial schedule set you don't have to have it connected to wifi other than to receive notifications from the robot if it is stuck, etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can definitely use your Roomba without WiFi by simply pressing the "Clean" button on the robot. But you'll need connection to the app to fully map your home, choose what rooms to clean, set a schedule and review performance. You'll want WiFi access to fully enjoy the benefits of this robot. Fortunately, you're shopping with Best Buy. It may be worth talking with them to determine what support they can lend, or if you can try the robot in your home. They have excellent support.
