No. Any 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and if your computer supports it, 802.11n base station will work.

  • Confused about wirless internet

    Long story short as possible.  My dad recently got wireless internet through sprint.  Well they told him he had unlimited access but in the very fine print he found out that he was only allowed something like 5 gb of data. Anyway his bill has tripled because these idiots didn't inform him of any limitations.
    Now a friend of mine claims that he can go and buy a wireless router and appropiate cables/cards, take it home and hook it up without having to pay a monthly fee to a provider.  Just use internet explorer.  She says her phone bill only went up a few dollars.  I know little to nothing about wireless and i'm trying to help him.  So if anyone can explain this in detail (fees, limitations, etc) I would be grateful.  Thank you.

    Your friend is probably getting free wireless in her home, what she's not getting for free is her internet. You pay the provider for internet, and then you have the option to make it wireless in your home for the cost of the parts. On the other hand, there are areas now that are offering free wireless internet, but it's only in highly populated cities.
    Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but hit a man with a brick and you can have all his fish...and his wife!

  • Can't get AE clients to connect to internet-Plz help me!

    I've had a home with router, wired mac's and pc's, and apple laptops for years with no problems. I removed old router and installed AE base station. I can connect to the Base Station via internet and wireless, but can't get past it to the net. I'm out of ideas.
    My DSL modem from Sprint is a Prestige 660ME-61, with an address of 192.168.2.1. My "test" G5 desktop has an IP address of 192.168.1.23, subnet 255.255.255.0 and Router ip of 192.168.1.254 - as shown in system pref/network/built in ethernet configuration. This works fine with old pbx/router. I tried looking at my PBX/router settings and they use different terminology.
    The AE auto setup didn't work, and I noticed it had set an ip address of 10.0.1.1 for the Base Station. I changed that to 192.168.1.x in the manual setup mode of DHCP. That generated starting and ending addresses of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.200. On the Internet Connection tab, it shows IP address of 192.168.2.2, Router address of 192.168.2.254, and the DNS address from Sprint. With these paramters, I get something like "no connection to the internet" when I try to connect.
    It seemed to me that I should set the router to be on the same 192.168.1.x addresses that DHCP is handing out, but when I try to change the Rounter Address to 192.168.1.254, I get a message saying that rounter address is not compatible with the lan address..
    I'v worked with computers and networking for a long, long time, but I am at wits end - maybe it was the chemo! I would very much appreciate some very smart person telling me which simple setting to change to make it work! And yes, the DSL modem is plugged into the WAN port on the AE. Some of you might wonder how I'm sending this. The answer is I went back to my pre-AE configuration.
    Thanks in advance!
    Randy

    Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)

  • I cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet".plz help

    i cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet". But i checked my internet on both my pc and iphone and tried again but it still says the same thing. plzz plzz help

    Were you definitely connected to the internet at the time? If you don't have iOS 5 on your iPhone then the only way to update it would be via iTunes, once updated to the latest version of iOS you'll be able to update your iPhone without connecting to iTunes "over-the-air".
    Before updating however it goes without saying to Backup your iPhone, this should happen by default upon connecting your iPhone to iTunes.

  • Quick Question About My iPOD Plz Help!

    Hey i have the 30gig ipod vid and it was working fine and still is. The thing is i sync the files from my pc to the ipod and everything is okay, but then once i listen or watch the podcasts and stuff and it shows it has been played (blue dot beside new unplayed file is gone) and then after I try to sync again and the files that have been played will not show on the ipod again until i go and click marked as unplayed again and then update and it will show there again.
    My question is does anyone know how to fix this where the sync will not remove already watched or listened files when it is updateing? (Is it a setting i have to fix?) I kno it didnt do this before hopefully someone can help me please and thank you!

  • I know nothing about XML-RPC-Plz help

    First of all let me tell you that I am fairly new to XML and XML-RPC and how to parse and manipulate it in java.
    So please prepare yourself for some stupid questions and spare me for that;P.
    Here is my task, which I still have no exact idea that how to do it?
    Ive been told that this is our XML-RPC request is something like this
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <methodCall>
       <methodName>examples.getStateName</methodName>
       <params>
          <param>
             <value><i4>41</i4></value>
             </param>
          </params>
       </methodCall>Reply will be something like this
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <methodResponse>
       <params>
          <param>
             <value><string>South Dakota</string></value>
             </param>
          </params>
       </methodResponse>and the language is JAVA.
    Now please tell me that, if I am using Java as my programming language and someone tells me all that I specified above, will the communication occur through java programms as all the tutorials specify?
    OR
    Do I need to send the simple XML file to the server and will receive another XML response file in return ?
    Another question
    If Java does every thing, then what is the use of giving XML request and response format?

    If Java does every thing, then what is the use of
    giving XML request and response format?Java does not do everything . Here is an illustrative example.
    You need to get information from the XYZ server in China and use it to calculate a formula. Once the formula is calculated, you need to send the calculation to a server in Denmark.
    The server in China is a .NET application.
    The server in Denmark is a Perl application.
    Your server in Kuwait is written in Java.
    You send the XML request to the .NET application.
    The .NET application processes the request and sends you an XML response.
    Your server then does something with the response and sends a second XML request to Denmark.
    The Perl application in Demark processes your request.

    hi im having huge problems trying to install flash for my mac 10.5 imac, iv gone through the internet and tried all of the solutions, everytime i try to install flash it says cant read the download file, or it just wont install, anybody plz help!
    iv unistalled flash, iv checked plug ins it just wont work,

    It would have been a great help to know precisely what Mac you have, so some of the following may not apply:
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
    Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

    I'm not trying to minimize your issues, but I have an iPhone 5S and find that I have not had these types of problems on AT&T. I'm wonding if something has gotten stuck in a loop that is continually trying to use data. If you make a good backup of your phone, try restoring it as new, and do not add anything to the phone right away. Let the device run like this for a little while and see what kind of usage you have. You report you phone is showing usage of 21GB. Did you rese this setting on the phone to begin at your billing period? The reason I ask this is some people believe this setting resets on its own with your billing period, it does not. This has to be manually reset by the user, so it might not be that accurate depending on the last time that you reset it.
    If the phone seems to not use so much extra data during the period the device does not have extra apps on it, then try restoring from your backup and see what happens. If this increases your data usage quite fast again, then there is probably something corrupt in the backup that is causing this issue.
