It depends upon the position of your wireless hub how far it can hear a signal from. Booster antenna's can be purchased. At best, you're looking at use of your wireless connection from a neighbors house down the block. At nearly the worst, you can at least sit on the front porch.
If you mean really away from home.... like miles away.... you'll need wireless through your cell phone carrier to keep the answer as yes.

The answer is no...
You can use your own wireless connection as far away from your house as it will reach and that won't be more than a block away at the very very most... Any further you'll have to use something else which will never be your WIRELESS system at home... Unless you take it with you and re-install it wherever you're going of course...

Well yes and no. Your wireless connection at your house will only work for a short distance.. like 200-300feet if you are lucky. However, your wireless adapter in your laptop can connect to access points that are available at many locations.
Airports, Bookstores, cafes, schools, Hotels and many other places have public access points and you can connect to them and use highspeed internet.

Yes. Assuming you have a cellphone contact your service provider and see what type of wireless internet adapter you can get for your laptop. It doesn't use your home connection. Whenever you have service you will have a internet signal.It has a monthly fee though.

A mile is very a protracted distance. universal WiFi won't connect that a techniques. in the event that they have solid antennas and helpful get admission to factors, and your line of sight to the library isn't blocked, you will possibly be waiting to "see" the sign, yet your laptop's wifi ability won't be helpful sufficient for the library's hardware to make certain your laptop's sign. bear in mind, that is 2-way. Wimax makes use of microwave technologies and probability is the fee to place in Wimax hardware on your place will very much exceed the fee to have undemanding residential internet provider (DSL, Cable, dial-up, and so forth.)
