Can I set up a local network without being connected to internet?

Can I set up a local network with Airport without being connected to internet?

Yes. Your AirPort Express router, by default, will create an unsecured wireless network and does not need to be connected to the Internet to do so. Local clients can then connect to this wireless network and be able to "see" each other.

    Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

    Yes, providing that the wireless network has been created by another Apple "n" router.
    The "extend a wireless network" feature on the Time Capsule is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

  • TS3623 is it possible to watch rented movies without being connected to internet?

    Is it possible to watch rented (itunes) movies without being connected to internet?

    Being connected to WiFi or a cell network has nothing to do with charging. The iPad will charge when connected to the charger or an appropriate USB port regardless of whether the iPad is connected to a network of any type, or even has ever had such a network connection set up.

  • HT5892 I have unlimited data why can't I download the new upgrade without being connected to wifi?!?

    Connected to wifi????

    There has always been an arbitrary limit on iPhones
    on the size of downloads over a cellular link.
    Whether it was originally set by the carriers and just
    left that way or is still desired by carriers, who knows.
    Just the way it is.

  • How can I make a local network without internet?

    In Snow Leopard, I was able to make a local network in my home using internet sharing. The network was there even though my dialup modem was disconnected. Now when Lion, the network is only there if my internet is connected. How do I make a local network in my home without having to stay connected. I can click create network in the wi-fi menu, but that goes away every time I put the computer to sleep. Are there any third party apps to fix this?

    If you are transfering files, you can use disk sharing instead.  All you need is to connect the two computers together with an ethernet cable.  For gaming, not sure.

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

  • HT201250 can a time capsule be used as just a backup for data without being connected to a home network?

    This is the explanation for my my question about whether a time capsule can be used as a backup without being connected to a network.  I had to disconnect my time capsule when I upgraded my landline to a wireless home phone in order to go to a wireless security system that would work with my 2WIRE router. The time capsule blocked the usage of my camera on my security system, not allowing the camera to connect to the 2WIRE router. Once I disconnected the time capsule,  the camera was able to connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE.

    As you can read, you can do what you want. You just have to set up the Time Capsule network in AirPort Utility without connecting it to the router and ignoring the messages, and connect to the Time Capsule network. You will have to switch between the Time Capsule and the other router's networks

  • Can you set up an apple tv without a tv?

    I want to use an Apple TV to stream audio to my "high end" stereo. I have read a lot about easy this is and how good the quality is. But, everything
    I read about Apple TV says it requires an HDMI connection to a TV so you can set it up. I don't a have a TV near my stereo so I have a problem. I can set up
    the Apple TV with my TV in another room, but will I lose the programming when I unplug it to move it to the stereo room. Or is there a way to hook it up
    to the Apple TV with an IOS device or my Macbook Air so I can set it up without being connected to a TV?

    Good info. I had no idea that headphone jacks were also mini-optical - even on MacBooks. Wasn't paying attention. An airport express would have been the best choice, but since I have the Apple TV already, getting an HDMI computer monitor (like a Samsung for $139) so I can set up the Apple TV may be the answer versus spending $100 for an AirportExpress and having a superfluous Apple TV.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network?

    How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

    You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

  • Can I use Apple TV on network without internet connection?

    I'm helping someone who has an Apple TV (version1) and their router and internet connection is down.  We need to use the AppleTV today to stream a video from her mac to the TV connected to the Apple TV for a presentation.  Can we just hook up the Mac and the AppleTV to a switch via Ethernet (or connnect wirelessly to an AirPort Base station) and stream the video without being connected to the internet?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't just use a switch, but you can use a router or wifi access point without access to the internet, but you will need a DHCP server to give each device on the network an IP address.
    You may also be able to connect the Mac and Apple TV directly with an ethernet cable, I've tested this with the Apple TV 1, but not with the Apple TV 2.

    Hi,
    The problem exists in my project still exist.That is it.
    When I did not set weblogic.jsp.encoding to GB2312 in my web
    application(web.xml), and when the jsp file contain's chinese , the
    output
    will be error(error chinese) .And when I did not set it , the output
    is
    correct, but when I use request.getParameter("SomeFormElement")(theelement
    inputed chinese), the return value is error(still chinese error).And
    when
    I
    am in windows nt english version and do not set this property, all
    these
    two
    problems dispear. And I try to compare the java files those were
    generated
    by weblogic from the jsp file , there is only two additional clause
    in
    the
    java file. That's it:
    ((weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspWriterImpl)out).setEncoding("GB2312");
    response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=GB2312");
    (the web.xml has <context-param>
    <param-name>weblogic.jsp.encoding</param-name>
    <param-value>GB2312</param-value>
    </context-param> to be set
    So, I think maybe it works well if I change the default locale toenglish.
    And unfortunately, your method is also failed.(I have to use weblogic
    in
    chinese environment)
    Would you please help me to solve this problem?

  • Can I set up a new network?

    I currently have a netgear rourter that I want to replace with an airport express. I already have a wireless network set up. Can I set up a new network on airport express? Can I use the same network? Is there a choice?

    I currently have a netgear rourter that I want to replace with an airport express. I already have a wireless network set up. Can I set up a new network on airport express? Can I use the same network?
    By default the AirPort Express base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN.
    If you overall networking goal is to replace the existing Netgear router with the Express you can configure the Express to use the same network name that your Netgear is providing.
    After you power-up the Express, your MacBook Pro will "see" the new router only if your connect to its wireless network first OR you can temporarily connect the Express directly to one of the available LAN ports on the Netgear using an Ethernet cable. Connected this way you will not need to switch wireless networks in order for your MBP to find it. Once it does, select it and the AirPort Utility should start up. Use the automated steps within the AirPort Utility and select the option to replace a non-Apple router with the Express.

  • Can you set up a wireless network/router using only the iPad?

    Can you set up a wireless network/modem/router using only an iPad - if you don't have a computer?

    You actually can as most routers come with a web interface that lets you tinker with all things with regard to set up and connection.
    You have to choose though as there are other routers that would require you to plug-it in to a computer first, as they have a desktop application to make way for easier set-up.
    But for everything else, it is done through a web client which is just like accessing any web site.

  • Can I use the Airport Time Capsule Wirelessly without being connected to my router/mac by ethernet?

    Hey
    I've recently bought a 3TB Airport Time Capsule, with the sole intention of being able to perform wireless backups.
    Is it possible to perform these wireless backups without being connected by ethernet to my modem/existing router?  I don't want to use the time capsule as a replacement for my existing router (at this stage) - just for wireless backups of my Macs.
    If this is not possible, or practicable, are there other alternatives that I should explore? (non-cloud)
    Thanks in advance
    Steven
    PS
    Boring background:
    I'm in a rental property with a woefully inadequate number of plugs in practical places. In addition there is only one phone socket. The result being insufficient safe space to have the existing router, and the Airport TC along with the existing electrical items.

    Unfortunately, Apple designed the Time Capsule to connect to a modem or modem/router using an Ethernet connection.
    If you do this, you do have the option of turning off the wireless on the Time Capsule and using your existing wireless for backups. Backups will be automatic this way, in the background. The Time Capsule could be located anywhere an Ethernet cable will reach.....up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters.
    The other option.....not recommended and not convenient at all.....is to set up the Time Capsule......without an Ethernet connection and then have the Time Capsule provide a wireless network that would not have Internet access.
    So, when you wanted to back up, you would have to manually "switch" to the Time Capsule network for that process, then once the backup was done, manually "switch" back again to your normal wireless network for normal operations.  A real mess, not to mention the possibility of wireless interference between the networks that may create other issues.
