Can I set up a wi-fi network using only my iPad?

My rural area is finally getting high-speed cable internet, which means I can ditch my 3G plan, get wi-fi, and turn into a movie-streaming couch potato. Besides my iPad, I have an ancient Compaq desktop which I would like to dispose of. However, I don't want to do this until I know I can proceed with the following: Can I set up a wi-fi network in my home with just my iPad? Or do I need to keep my PC to set up and maintain the wi-fi network? Or alternatively, can I use the PC to start the wi-fi network, then get rid of it? Or do I need it at all--is my [updated] iPad 2 all I need to set up the network (besides the obvious modem/router, etc?).  Thank you very much.

You will need the cable internet service and a wireless router (usually provided by the cable company). Most routers are configured through a web page and I think you should be able to do that from your iPad in the event you ever need to change anything.

  • How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

    how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
    The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
    The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
    But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
    is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

    Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
    Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

    Sorry, but it is not possible to "extend" the Guest Network using either wireless or an Ethernet connection.

  • 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.

  • Setting up a small business network using mac and windows pcs

    Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

    Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
    If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

  • I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

    When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

    No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.

  • How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up.  Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
    Thanks for any suggestions 

    How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
    Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
    Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.
    See this thread for more details and instructions:

  • Can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ?

    Hello!
    I have a report where one of its parameters refers to a list of values (LOVs). This list of values is an SQL Query type. When the data source used in the report is defined in the BI Publisher server, I'm able to get the report parameters using the getReportParameters() function in my application. However, if the data source is not defined the function throws an exception, which is understandable.
    I decided to dynamically set the data source so that even if the data source used by the report is not defined in the BI Publisher server, it still will be able to get the LOVs for the parameter. I tried setting the JDBCDataSource of the dynamicDataSource for the ReportRequest object that I passed to the getReportParameters() function. Please see the sample code below:
    reportRequest.dynamicDataSource = new BIP10.BIPDataSource();
    reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource = new BIP10.JDBCDataSource();
    setReportDataSource(reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource, connectstr, jdbc, dc); //function to set the values for JDBCDataSource object
    reportParams = webrs.getReportParameters(reportRequest, uid, pwd); //call the getReportParameters
    I was expecting this to work as this is what I did to dynamically set the data source before calling the runReport function. So, my question is -- can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ? I tried this both in versions 10g and 11g. It does not seem to work on both versions.

    report_id column of apex_application_page_ir_rpt can help us uniquely identify each saved report.
    We can assign this report_id value to a page item and this page item can be put in the Report ID Item text box of the Advanced section of the Report Attributes page of the IR.
    This should load the saved report identified by report_id and you can get rid of javascript

  • How can I set BOE XI R2 InfoView to use MM/DD/YYYY date format?

    How can I set BOE XI R2 InfoView to use MM/DD/YYYY date format instead of the default yyyy-mm-dd that comes up?
    Thank you.
    Paul

    I'm sorry to be dense.  Are you using BOE XI R2?  I don't see a "preferred viewing local" under preferences.  I see "My Interface Locale is..." under the General tab, which I have set to United States.  I don't see anywhere where I can enter in the dates and numbers.
    I also checked in the CMC under Business Object Enterprise applications, and did not see anything there either.
    Can you be specific?
    Thanks again.

  • Can I share my iCal across a network or only thro' .Mac?

    Can I share my iCal across a network or only thro' .Mac? If so, how?

    I don't think there's a way to share a calendar over a local network, but if you have your own non-.Mac webspace on the Internet, you can publish an iCal calendar to it rather than .Mac. To do this, open iCal and select Publish from the Calendar menu. In the dialog box that pops up, change the Publish On drop-down menu to "a private server" and put in whatever your password is to access the server.

  • Where can I find a free wi-fi network analyzer for an iPad?

    where can I find a free wi-fi network analyzer for an iPad?

    I doubt that you'll find anything worthwhile that will be free. Writing a network analyzer is not easy nor simple, if anything truly useful is even possible on an iPad since Apple reportedly disallows apps that do a signal scan, so it's doubtful that anyone would go to that much effort and not want to make money from it. But perhaps someone else here will have a useful suggestion for a specific app. It will probably help if you'll post what specific features or functions you need.
    Regards.
