Question

WiFi and cable are 2 entirely different things. You must pay an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for internet access, such as your local utility company or Verizon... And That source of ethernet into your house plugs into your router. The router then designates IP addresses for all devices on your network and transmits WiFi wirelessly and even has 4 LAN ports for hardwired connections.

So to answer your question; no, you do not have to have cable to have WiFi. In fact that is why so many Americans are "Cutting the Cord" and switching to Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Sling TV, etc. instead of paying for 350 channels and only watching 6 or 7 of them.

Answer

Yes as long as it plugs into the internet connection

I believe you need some sort of WiFi service, this just boosts the signal. The reason why we purchased it was my student in college lives in an off campus apt and even though WiFi is included in rent, the main WiFi router is several floors down, signal was weak, this captures that signal and broadcasts it for a stronger steadier signal.
