Can you make an iPad a wifi hotspot?

No you cannot, only an iPhone can be a hotspot.

Assuming no obstruction, how far can an iPad/iPhone transmit Wifi signal?

Hi there,
I'm interested in setting up an outdoor Wifi network that mobile users can connect to. When planning hotspot density, I believe I'm limited by the distance/range a standard smartphone/tablet can transmit Wifi signal to. Do you know how far an iPhone or iPad can be from an access point before losing its Wifi connection?
Thank you!

How can Verizon legally BLOCK my wifi hotspot app?

My phone upgraged to jb. Have called Verizon several times. I went into the store. They said they did not block it. My phone clearly states it has been blocked by Verizon.

If you have a Verizon unlimited data plan, you must pay for tethering. I have the unlimited tethering plan for $30 per month. This is in addition to your unlimited data plan and in accordance with the FCC ruling. You can also get 2GB for $20, I believe.
"GigaOm adds that Verizon also won't be able to charge customers on its tiered data plans the $20 a month tethering fee, though it can charge those customers who are still on its unlimited data plans."
This is quoted from what you posted.

Can I Connect to 4G LTE with my WIFI IPAD AIR when WIFI is NOT Available? If so, HOW?

Can I Connect to 4G And LTE with my WIFI IPAD AIR when WIFI is NOT Available? If so, HOW?

If you wish to do this you can use the WiFi hotspot from an iPhone or other phone with this capability.
You can also get a dedicated WiFi hotspot device like MiFi. See here: http://www.novatelwireless.com/products/mobile-broadband-solutions/mifi-intellig ent-mobile-hotspots/

Connect iPad 2 wifi to wifi hotspot with joikuspot

I installed joikuspot light in my nokia E71, and my iPad recognized the wifi hotspot but I still can't access Internet. Pls help

I also had the same problem, but I realized this person (Baltax) who shared in this forum how to resolve this issue. He is a god-send.

Had the same problem; I connected with the device but couldn´t browse internet. Turned out to be an encryption issue; to make it work I used (in the settings for Joikuspot) WEP open, ascii, 128 bit, and let Joikuspot create the password for me. Using this it worked flawlessly.

I'm traveling to Hawaii and wondering if my iPad will work? I have wifi on it but do I need to turn it into a wifi hotspot?

I need help to figure this out b4 I leave on Monday.

Turning your iPad into a WiFi Hotspot, is only necessary if you are needing to share WiFi with other devices, if your iPad is already connected to WiFi or Cellular etc..
Ask the Hotel where you are staying for their WiFi information for Guests and connect to their WiFi Network in the list that shows up in iPads WiFi Settings.

Making iMac a wifi hotspot and firewall

So I successfully turned my imac into a wifi hotspot for use with my ipad and iphone. However, it only seems to work if you completely disable the firewall on the imac. Surely that is not an optimal solution. Looking around on the web I found dozens of explanations how to make a wifi hotspot but nobody mentions the firewall aspect. So my question is simple: can you or can you not make a wifi hotspot on a mac desktop (imac) while preserving firewall protection on you mac.
Cheers, Bob

Your iMac must be connect to a internet router by Ethernet. The Router give you all the protection you need. No need for the Mac firewall. It is only for Incoming connections anyway. Which the Router already filters.
Not sure why you are using your iMac for Wifi. Just buy a WiFi router. Internet connection sharing is so 1990s.

TS1398 Trouble accessing O2 wifi hotspots since updating to IOS 6

Has anyone else got this problem, I updated my iphone 4 last week and now can't access the O2 wifi hotspots in McDonalds etc.?

Update:
Took my ipad into the Genius Bar today and they sent me home with a new one. He tried resetting two or three different things while I was there and after all his resets, he couldn't get it to even connect to their wifi network.

HT4972 my ipad3 doesn't have the wifi hotspot option in the list in settings

I have taken delivery of an iPad3 64G 4G.
In the list on the left in settings - there is no item for setting the iPad as a WiFi hotspot.
I went to a phone shop. They had a new iPad3 there with the same firmware settings etc. The option was in the list - I think the 3rd or 4th from the top.
Why hasn't my machine got this option? Supposed to be on ALL 3G and 4G machines as far as I know?
Thanks.

It's impossible for anyone here to be able to tell your carrier what they need to do to enable their own features. Call your carrier again and keep going up the ladder of support until you find someone who knows what "personal hotspot" or "tethering" means and who understand their own systems.
By the way, you replied to a thread that's been inactive for almost nine months now. That's usually not a good strategy for getting a quick reply. It's most often going to be more effective to start a new thread rather than replying to one that's quite old and inactive.

When will MAC O/S be supported on MiFi (Fivespot) device to access the Verizon wifi hotspots?

I just got the Fivespot for Broadband internet access for my laptop. I've had it about a week, and tried the dedicated network access from home, and an internet cafe using both the USB connection, and the wifi connection. Both work fine, and speeds are very acceptable.
When I tried accessing the Verizon Wifi Hotspots--I realized they are not available on a MacBook, since you can only access the VZ wifi hotspots using the VZ Manager app. After I read the manual, realized that I could only access the VZ wifi Hotspots from Windows O/S. Good thing my MacBook has a dual OS boot (I never go into Windows anymore unless I absolutely have to--like in this case). As a side note, I had to install and setup the FiveSpot again in Windows--let me just say--even though I didn't encounter any issues--the process went much smoother using the MAC O/S.
Anyway, got VZ Manager up and running on Windows, followed the instructions to update the Verizon Wifi Hotspot locations, and then connected to the wifi location that I was in, which was a local Barnes & Noble. Please note that all Barnes & Noble, and Starbucks offer free public wifi through 'attwifi'. Thinking that the Verizon wifi hotspot would provide a faster connection speed and performance, I decided to try it. Well, the response was dismal and poor--I tried to download a 22MB file, and the connection speed showed a paltry 7 KB/minute; in the public library, I usually get a speed of 100KB/minute, and the attwifi public access usually results in 50KB/minute downloads.
Disappointed in the so-called Verizon wifi hotspots speeds.
Does anyone know when this will be accessible via the Mac OS?
Thanks!

Ironically, turning Airplane Mode on disables streaming, but still shows your entire library when shuffling. However, the unavailable songs skip, like they should. But could still be tapped to download, if there were service. I wish there was a way to separate playback from having music available for download.

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
Is there any way?
devices:
iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
iPhone 5S
Thanks!

well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

Can I use hotspot tethering in iPad mini with wifi??

Can I use hotspot tethering in iPad mini with wifi??

You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

I Just bought a ipad 2 and I can conect to my home wifi but I cant connect to any free hotspots. my ipad shows the network and connection but I can't get any web pages.

I Just bought a IPAD2 and I can connect to my home wifi but I can't connect to any free hotspots. My Ipad shows the connections but I can't get any web pages. what do I do?

Many free wi-fi hotspots require that you register first - agreeing to their terms and conditions, etc. This is usually provided via a web page with Safari provided immediately after connecting. If the register page is provided via Flash, you won't see it and you won't be able to register.

My wifi hotspot on my iPad can't be used. Does it have something to do with the device?

I try to use my iPad hotspot on my android device. I managed to connect to it once using wifi hotspot. And now, everytime I try to reconnect. It won't work.

1: Backup your user files folders of Documents, Music, Pictures etc., to a external powered drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
2: Insert the 10.6 installer disk and reboot holding c
3: Simply reinstall OS X without erasing the drive, it will overwrite the installed version of OS X and the root level software, but leave your Applications folder contents (expect Apple bundled programs) and user files alone. (but backup anyway in case it fails)
4: Reboot and the Integro is gone out of your system, but there may still be something laying around in Applicaitons to delete. Use Software Update to get up to date.
5: You don't need anti-virus on a Mac, Apple provides it already for you sight unseen.
6: If you Software update, the bad certificate issues are pulled, thus are not a threat.
