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.

  • Photosmart 7520--can't set up to wireless network

    I set up photosmart 7520 on wireless network just fine out of the box.  a few days ago I couldn't print to it and now can't reset up on wireless network to print. Help!!!

    Hey jonathanray,
    I see you are having an issue getting your printer to connect to your home network.  This thread is about the Photosmart 7520.  Is this the model printer you are working with?
    You mention resetting the printer.  Did you simply power cycle the unit to Hard Reset the device or what type of reset did you perform?  
    Have you tried restoring the network defaults of the printer to see if it can connect after performing a Hard Reset to all devices in the network connection?
    Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
    Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
    Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
    Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
    Turn off the computer.
    Wait 30 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
    Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
    Turn the computer back on.
    Wait for the computer to reload.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
    Turn the printer back on.
    Press the Setup menu option on the front panel of the printer
    Select the Wireless submenu
    Scroll to the bottom of the list and select "Restore Network Defaults"
    Select Yes on the next screen
    After performing these steps try connecting the printer again using the Wireless Setup Wizard in the Wireless submenu of the Setup menu again.  Does this help get the unit connected?
    What brand/model of router are you using?  What is the name of the company that provides your internet service?
    Let me know how this goes and the answers to these questions and I will do my best to provide continued support,
    Jason

  • How can I set up a wireless network between two Mac Mini's (media centres)?

    I've just received my second mac mini (core duo, 1.83, 1 Gb ram)and want to set up a wireless network to link this with my original mac mini (PPC 1.42, 512MB) and my Belkin wireless router (g std).
    I'm using both as media centres in different rooms and want to keep all my media (films, photo's, music etc.) on one mini (connected to a 640GB external drive) and access it over the wireless network. Sort of a more felxible Apple TV setup??
    I've got the wireless network working no problems with both mini's connected to the internet over the network but I'm stuck at how I get the two mini's to see each other. I've tried "the Missing Manual" and these forums but no success so far.
    I know it can be done but would really appreciate any suggestions/directions on what to do?
    Thanks in advance<<br>

  • Time Capsule can't set up as wireless network, but Airport Extreme works

    I just bought a Time Capsule to use as a back-up hard drive and a wireless network. I currently have a Airport Extreme for my wireless network and it works fine. When I try to plug in the ethernet cable into the Time Capsule to set up a new wireless network - all I get is a blinking amber light on Time Capsule and Airport Utility can not find Time Capsule. When I plug the ethernet cable back into the Airport Extreme to see if my DSL is working - the Airport Extreme light is back on and I can connect to the internet. I updated the Time Capsule with the latest firmware so that's no it. Any ideas?

    OK, thanks for the clarification.
    First, make a note of the configuration settings in the Airport Extreme as you will likely set up the TC the same way. Open AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup at the bottom of the pane and then click on the Airport icon at the top of the next page, which is a summary of your settings. Would be a good idea to write these down and keep them handy.
    Then do a hard reset on the Time Capsule to get it back to factory defaults. You would do this by first pulling the power cable for a few minutes. Then using an unfolded paper clip or something small, hold in the reset button on the back while you plug the power cable back in and continue to hold the reset button for at least 10-12 seconds before you release it.
    Power off your computer, then restart. When it's back up, connect an ethernet cable from the computer to the WAN port on the back of the Time Capsule. This should help Airport Utility "see" the Time Capsule so you use Airport Utility to configure it.
    If you have set up the Extreme, the TC set up is basically the same unless you have changed the modem or some other things in your network.
    Post back on your progress.

  • Can I set up a wireless network with only certain units

    Just want to set up some units not all

    Not exactly sure what you are asking. Do you mean can the AirPort Express provide wireless for some wireless network clients but not all of them? If so, then the answer is yes. You can use the Timed Access feature and only allow wireless clients with the proper MAC address to connect.

  • How can i set up a wireless network from my iMac lion, with a windows 7??

    I wish to setup a network from my iMac to my gf windows 7 laptop, but can't figure out how...

    In order to do this you should have a router. Once you have a router and both computers on the network then you will need to turn on File Sharing on the Mac. You can locate Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing. On the PC it has a similar function but typical of MS Windows much more arcane and complex. First thing you will need to know is what version of MS Windows you have, then you can Google something like "File sharing OS X Lion with Windows 7" and you will find lots of instructions.

  • Can you play music to wireless and wired speakers at the same time?

    If you have Airport express, can you play music on speakers plugged into the airport express at the same time as you play from speakers attached to your computer?
    Thanks

    Yes you can. In the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes main window there is a drop down menu. Select the AirPort Express base station(s) you'd like to send your music to and also select 'Computer'. Not only will it play through all, it will play IN SYNC!
    I can't remember with which version of iTunes this was introduced, best to grab the latest version to be sure.

  • Setting up an airport express router with only an ipad

    i will be in a hotel room with only ethernet wired connection.  i am traveling only with my ipad.  can i hook up an wireless modem (Airport exrpress) without a laptop?  How?

    The iPad operating system will not support AirPort Utility, the application that is needed to configure the AirPort Express.
    Your best bet for the time being is going to be to try to use the AirPort Express in its default settings.
    Connect the Express to the Ethernet port at the hotel and power it up. The Express is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the "x" could be a letter or number. Look for that wireless network to log on (there is no password). Then open your browser to see if the hotel's log in page appears so you can agree to terms and fees, etc.
    If the hotel does not use a log in page, you should be connected to the Internet if all is well. Since you have an "open" network, anyone within range can log on to your wireless, so you might want to be careful with any sensitive banking or credit card transactions.
    It's not likely that a hacker is close by, but you never know.
    Once you get back home, you can use AirPort Utility to setup the Express to name your wireless network and etstablish a password. Once you save the settings, you should not need to configure the Experss again as it will retain its settings.

  • Can you switch between AT&T and Verizon 3g on the Ipad?

    My wife purchased me the Ipad2 32g 3g for the holidays. It is set up for AT&T. Is there a way to switch to Verizon?

    If you are within the return period, return the iPad and get the Verizon version.  But be advised that if you might travel outside the US with your iPad, GSM which is the technology AT&T uses is much more used in other countries and would give you the ability to purchase a Micro-Sim outside the US and use 3G service.  Verizon's CDMA technology does not use Micro-Sim's.

  • HT204365 How can I transfer several pdf files to another app using only the iPad?

    I have several PDF files in iBooks.
    I also use Notes Plus, which reads pdf files.
    In any application (other than iBooks) that reads pdf files, the curved arrow asks me if I want to open the pdf in another program - e.g. Notes Plus
    But iBooks' curved arrow only offers to email or print.
    I believe Apple should update iBooks to allow pdf files to open in other applications.
    Do you agree? Or is there some way - without emailing or internet connection, without computer syncing - only using the iPad alone - that I can transfer pdf files from iBooks to Notes Plus and other apps?

    Short of emailing it to yourself for which you do need an Internet connection, there is no way to open that PDF in another app. iBooks just does not allow for it.
    If you want to see Apple add the capability to iBooks, let them know about it.
