How do I connect my MacBook pro to the Internet through the 3G server on my iPhone?

Does anyone know how to connect my MacBook pro to the Internet through the 3G server on my iPhone?

There is a service called Personal Hotspot that uses your iPhone's connection to share with other devices. You will need to sign up for this service through your carrier. Good luck

What are the benefits of buying an iPad 2 with wi-fi, or with 3G when I already have an iPhone 4 with 3G? My plan with was to go for wi-fi and connect to the internet through my iPhone 4. Am I missing out on anything by not getting 3G?

I tried the tethering and hated it. The connection breaks every time I get > 25 feet from it and it's a pain to reestablish the connection. I suppose if I had to choose between breaking connections every now and then or paying another $100 + $25/month I'd do the tethering.
Or just carrying the phone in your pocket? Just saying.....

Connecting the iPad to the internet via the iPhone is done by setting up a personal HotSpot, but you have to have that supported by your carrier and have to have established the account to do so.
On the iPhone, Settings > General > Network > Set Up Personal Hotspot

Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through my iPhone 3GS?

Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through my iPhone 3GS? My provider O2 assures me I can with the tariff I have for my iPhone. If so, how do I do it???
Thanks!

Nope. Tethering isn't an option until iPhone 4. My wife has the 3GS and not an option. Sorry. you need to update your phone, but wait a few months for the iPhone 5 or discounted iPhone 4S.

I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender. I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it. No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini. How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet. It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.

Junglemania,
Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn. Go to Wireless Advanced Settings. There is a WMM settings. Make sure the WMM is enabled.
This may help you out.

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

New modem, no longer able to connect to the internet through the router.

I have a WRT54GS router which worked fine. My modem died and I got a new modem through my ISP, Comcast. I can't get the router to work through the new modem. There must be something simple I'm not doing, because there was nothing wrong with the router before. Is there a simple solution to my problem?
Thanks,
Larry

Open the set up page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"". Click on enable...Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for the entire network and then,try to go online.

My PC won't connect to the internet through the Time Capsule

I hope someone can help. I have a 4th Gen, 2TB Time Capsule with the following connected via WiFi: MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod, (2) iPhone 5, Apple TV, Playstation 3, HP all-in-one PC, and a printer.
Up until a couple days ago all of them worked perfectly. I'm not sure what happened (I didn't adjust any settings) but suddenly ALL non-Apple products will connect to the Time Capsule but won't access the internet. It is very frustrating and I can't find anything that has helped yet. They will work proper if I connect using an ethernet cable but not via WiFi like they used to.
I have unplugged and replugged the modem and Time Capsule, done a full system restore on my PC, gone through the settings on my Time Capsule (not sure what I'm looking for).
Hope someone has heard of this and can give me some advice. Thank You.

Did you happen to upgrade to 7.6.3 on the TC?
That would be pretty funny if the new firmware causes all non-apple wireless products to drop out.
I think we could get a very big fight going over such a thing.
Although I don't know the reason.. apart from that dreadful firmware.
Apple names are a problem.. why it should hit now after working fine I am not sure.
But you need to do a full factory reset to the TC.
Then give it all SMB compatible names.. (ie comply with windows networking).
That means short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
That will include TC network name, wireless names (different name for 5ghz) and hard disk share name.
You should use WPA2 Personal security. With a pure alphanumeric passkey of 10-20 characters.
Use fixed wireless (radio in Apple Speak) channels. For 2.4ghz there are only 3 non-overlapping. 11, 6, 1 and test them in that order. 5ghz doesn't usually matter so much but test down low.. say channel 40 and up high 157.. or ones near that in your country.
Tell me if you still have issues..
And go back to 7.6.1 firmware. Hold down the option key and select previous firmware if you are on 7.6.3

Connecting laptop to the internet through the iphone

Do they have an app out for this?

It's called tethering and it is a feature of the iphone. You do not need an app. Your carrier has to support it.

My ipod touch says that i am connected to the internet through settings but when i get on email or facebook it says no internet connection?

My ipod touch says that I am connected to the internet through the setting tab but when i try to get on the internet it says no connection. I tried new downloads and updats and connectioning to other wifi in variouse places and still no luck.

- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset<Reset Network Settings

Airport Express 2nd gen will connect to the internet through LAN but not over wifi?

Interesting issue, I can stream Apple TV connected to the LAN port, send Airplay music to my receiver from my iphone, but cannot access the internet over wifi. So it's not Comcast, it has to be the Airport Express, but not ALL of the Airport Express, just the part that sends the internet signal. Is that even possible? I've restarted reset (hard and soft), re-setup, and unplugged everything 100 times, but to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Ok, thank you.
I know you already tried a number of resets, but please give the following a try to verify that you can get basic Internet access via a wireless connection to the Express from any of your wireless network clients.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
