Can I share wifi connection through iPhone tethering (instead of 3G)?

Hi,
when overseas, I don't have tethering (I have a US-only plan).
However, I am able to join wifi hotspots with a global login, plus my work based encrypted network. I cannot get my iPad or Macbook onto those networks directly.
Can I join a wifi network with my iPhone, then have other devices tether to that wifi internet connection?
Thanks!

No.
Tethering is for sharing the iPhone's internet connection via the iPhone's cellular network only with a computer or device.

Can't share internet connection through powerbook's airport

Hi everyone,
I have always shared my internet connection from my built-in ethernet through my computer's airport. I just moved and the cable tech guy came and hooked up the internet and it won't work any more. I watched him and I don't think he changed any settings, but now when I go to System Preferences> Sharing > Internet, on the "To computers using" box there is no airport option listed.
See this screenshot for a better understanding:

Any ideas on why this has disappeared?
Thanks,
Isaac

Hi Keith
Yes I see where you are coming from.
Perhaps the OP is mistaken because what has occurred to me is that the 'cable tech guy' (possibly) configured the aiport connection for internet connectivity. This would explain why internet sharing is available only via the other remaining ports; namely ethernet and firewire.

If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth. Might be worth a try that way.
However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer. Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer. Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?

Poor WiFi connection with iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2)

Hello,
I am regularly testing my internet download speed on my iPhone using Ookla's app 'Speed Test'. It used to be up to 8-17 Mbps. But since a few months it only runs on about 1-2 Mbps!?
I did not change my provider nor did my provider decrease the rate. The rate tested from my MacBook Pro is 32 Mbps.
Since I use a MacBook Pro (10/2008), another MacBook Pro (8/2006), an Apple TV and an iPhone 4 I have to set my AirPort Extreme to 802.11n (b/g compatible). I set teh channel manually to 12 since the Apple TV could not deal with automatic channel selection?! The Apple TV's connection speed is also very poor.
So does anyone have tips how I can improve the WiFi connection speed for my iPhone and Apple TV?
Thanks & best regards,
Manfred

Use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each device sees:

With that information you can begin to understand the problem.

How can i download wifi on my iphone

how can i download wifi in my iphone and ipad
please helpy

You don't download wifi - you connect to either your home wifi or other wifi networks.
Go to Settings on your phone and then there should be a WiFi setting there and click and open that and then you join wifi networks, but you don't download it.

Connection through iPhone on notebook but safari doesn't recognise connection recognise

Connection through Iphone put safiri doesn't regonise connection? Only happened after connecting with home WIFi which I don't want to use since I don't pay the Bill.

You need to disconnect and remove that other WIFI network from your system. If it still won't work after that, try a reboot of the system before doing anything else. Make sure you clear the checkbox about restarting all programs automatically after restart.

There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
Search for: security
Click 'Local Security Policy'
Goto Local Policies > Security Options
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

Can I use my IMac OS 10.4 (old) to set up a wifi router, such as Airport Base, so I can have a wifi connection for the iPhone I plan to buy? My IMac is not wifi capable.

Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy. My IMac is not wife capable.

Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.
