My iPhone5 is my wifi hot spot for my mac minim computer and iPad. I live in a rural area with no other options. Will this be sufficient to run Apple TV and air play?

If you are intending using your hot spot to download movies for the Apple TV, you'll very quickly eat through your data allowance.

  • WIFI hot spot for customers

    I want to allow customers who enter my business internet access (like a WIFI hot spot), but I don't want them to have access to my entire network of many PC's and Macs. I only want them to be able to access the internet without passwords, but not allow them to connect to computers on the network.
    Is there a way to setup Airport Extreme so this can be done?
    Vincent Pickeral

    One way to set that up is to purchase a Firewall with an optional interface. One product I have used for this kind of application is the Watchguard Firebox Edge X5.
    Basically... You would plug the WAN interface in to your DSL or Cable modem, and your work or protected network (Macs, PC's, Credit Card verification etc) in to the Ethernet ports. Your Wireless Access point would plug in to the optional interface, which is on a separate network.
    This can be a bit complicated to set up, and this particular FW is a bit more expensive that the standard home unit, (about $350). It's about the only way I know of to separate your Airport network, and protect your business data, using a typical DSL or Cable circuit.
    There may be other brands out there... this is just the one I am familiar with.

  • IPhone Bluetooth tether to Bluetooth router for a wifi hot spot

    Ok I want to use my iPhone as a WiFi hot spot for Internet access for my laptop and my iPad. My laptop and iPad have WiFi capability. So can I Just get a bluetooth WiFi router, pair it to my iPhone for a WiFi hot spot for laptop and iPad?

    Even if there were such a thing as a Bluetooth ➔ WiFi router (I've never seen or heard of one), and you have tethering enabled on your phone and cellular plan, I don't believe it would work, depending on the Bluetooth profile supported by the router. The only type of Bluetooth file transfer profile supported by iPhones is a direct tethering connection to the end device. Unless the router appears that way to the phone, it won't work.
    If you have an iPhone 4, WiFi hotspot will be supported directly from the phone with the 4.3 update.

  • Using an emac as a monitor for a mac mini

    Hi,
    Sorry if the question was already asked, but a quick search in the forum brought no answer.
    I have an emac (OS9) and a mac mini(OSX). I'd like to use the emac as a monitor for the mac mini. Is it possible? How? (Both are G4, although I don't think that's relevant : I don't want to use them at the same time, only to use the Emac as a "screen")
    Many thanks.

    I happen to know for a fact that you can use the internal screen on an iMac G3 333, and presumably also a 266 and 233. It has a fixed horizontal frequency so it will only display the resolutions that you can choose with it's motherboard installed: 640x480@117Hz, 800x600@95Hz, and 1024x768@75Hz. With DisplayConfigX I was even able to get other resolutions, as long as I stayed within the 60kHz horizontal frequency. If try to set it to any other resolution and refresh rate it will not work, so the best way to test it is to have another screen as your main screen so that you can set the resolutions on the iMac screen from there. I imagine that the screen in the eMac does not have a fixed horizontal frequency, so if you got the pinouts, you could probably get it working. However, I made a custom video cable for a slot loading iMac G3, and I couldn't get it to work.

  • How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

    How do I set up a wifi hot spot in my house just for me?

    You can't use the wifi card to do both connect to a wifi network and then use the wifi card as a wifi hotspot. You'll need to connect the mac by ethernet and then you can set the wifi card as a hotspot.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • Wifi hot spot safety?

    I am leaving on a 2 month vacation and would like to know if there is any way to be safe using wifi hot spots to do my banking. If so what do I need to do.
    Thank you in advance,
    Bruce Pedersen

    You should be OK with banking sites, because they use HTTPS (encrypted HTTP) with certificates your browser will be able to verify. Just make sure the URL in the browser is what it should be; for example,
    https://www.yourbank.com/
    and NOT
    http://www.yourbank.com/
    or
    https://www.yourbank.somethingelse.com/
    If your browser warns you that a site has presented an invalid certificate, STOP. Don't ignore the warning.
    For more comprehensive security, subscribe to a public VPN service such as AlwaysVPN and install an OpenVPN client: Tunnelblick (free) or Viscosity (better). Test the setup before you leave.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    If your Cell carrier supports it, you should have an option in your phone for "Portable Wifi Hotspot"  under Wifi and networks.
    Look in your Phone's manual for specifics.
    http://www.fusiondub.com/how-to-turn-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot -2/
    Once you set up the Hotspot, the iPad can connect to it like a regular Wifi network.

  • My samsug galaxy tab...does it cost extra to use it as a wifi hot spot?

    Does it cost extra to use my tab as a wifi hot spot?

    No. Because your tablet data plan is capped, Verizon lets you use the tethering and hotspot at no extra charge. Just keep in mind that it DOES use data from your plan so if you got a 1 gig $20 plan hotspot will burn that up in a hurry.
    Frankly, I wish Verizon would do this on smartphones too. I would GLADLY give up unlimited data in exchange for tethering / hotspot included with the plan. Upselling tethering is so 1980's. The rest of the world includes teethering as part of the data plan service, though their data plans are usually capped at 3Gig or 5Gig.
    Believe me, I am not going to STOP throwing this fact in US carriers' faces until they see the light and stop upselling this inherent functionality. It was always intended by OEM's to be a standard open functionality of a smartpone, not a FEATURE to be up-sold and monetized.
    Verizon is offering free tethering on 4G LTE devices? GREAT. Keep it that way!!!

    Anyhow it might flush out some some more anyway.

  • IPad wifi hot spot

    What is the best wifi hot spot to buy for the iPad and my laptop?

    I purchased my iPad along with a Verizon MIFI 2200 in a promo that Verizon offered back in November. I have had great success with it. Up to 5 devices at a time can share the connection but I've only used it with two devices at once.
    I did not sign a contract - I go month to month - my plan is 5GB for $30.00 a month. Check it out here.
