Changed wifi and hotspot in iOS 8. No longer supports router.

HI all.
The necessary background...
I don't have fixed Internet at home.
I utilise a wireless router that when I directly connect my iPhone 4 (7.1.2) or my iPad (prior to update to iOS 8) would initiate the usb hotspot function on either device where I then can utilise network based stuff (Apple tv, lappy, printer ect). I can go as far as to connect my iPhone to the router have the hotspot active then also simultaneously access the wifi signal from the router to the phone.. Helps get around the download limits imposed when updating stuff.
I find now that my iPad (iOS 8) can't establish a usb hotspot connection with the router. It can do the usual creatation directly plugging into the LAPPY or creating a wifi hotspot just not directly to the router.. I've done the usual turned on and off, reset network and cycled via the power home button stuff.. I've not gone down the full restore but if my hand forces it I'll try that.
Finally the question.
Did or has the Apple writers restructure the hotspot and wireless coding where it makes such things defunct? Any known work around?
cheers,
Dave

I would just like to add that I've now upgraded to a 5S and a new router. The 5S connects fine (7.1.2) aka tethers via USB where the iPad (8.0.2) still no connectivity!!
I'm sure this is on deaf ear's, still folks a spending good coin on stuff and the line in the sand keeps moving .

    I just bought a new mac mini, tried to install CS2Premium and it says it is no longer supported...help, please

    You cannot install CS2 on a new Mac Mini running OS X Yosemite. CS2 is far too old.
    CS2 was written for older PowerPC based Macs running OS 10.3.8 or earlier.
    Modern Macs use Intel processors which are not compatible with PowerPC software.
    Furthermore, Yosemite no longer includes Rosetta (a utility formerly included - but long discontinued - by Apple in OS X to run PowerPC applications on Intel Macs).
    You'll either have to buy a new full version of CS6 or join the Cloud.

  • WiFi and hotspot

    my wifi will not connect to to web pages and the message is website not available my hotspot will not open and gives me the message cannot connect to AM

        Hello stollbek! Using Wifi is a great way to add additional value to your data plan! Have you tried changing the channel your router uses? I've seen customers have problems connecting to my wifi and it turned out that a house phone was using the same frequency as the router and was interfering. After changing the channel they had no more problems. Do you have a landline device that is connected to your cable or DSL service?
    In regards to your Hotspot, try taking out the battery for 20-30 seconds. This may reset your device and allow you to use the Hotspot feature. Let me know if this helps!

  • I can no no longer open any of my documents in microsoft word and a message saying powerpc no longer supported comes up

    I cno no longer open any microsoft word documents- a message comes up saying powerpc no longer supported. help!

    Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
    Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011.
    For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011.  I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
    If you decide to continue to use your version of MS Office (even as a backup to obtaining Office 2011, but with conversion problems), full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:

  • Problem with WiFi and Bluetooth after iOS 7.0.4 update

    Hello.
    Since the iOS 7.0.4 update, I've lost both my bluetooth and my WiFi connection.  As some other users has said on previous reviews, the WiFi button stay grayed and the bluetooth shows a spinnig "thinking" wheel, and that's it.  Before that update, both services were working just fine.
    I was hoping that the 7.0.6 update could fix those errors, but my problem remains.
    Any Official comment from Apple about this issue?
    Thank you.

  • Wifi and hotspot issue!!!!! Help

    The wifi iphone 5 issue.  Is it effecting the iphone 5 hotspot ??

    I purchased the IPhone 5 specificly for the mobile hot spot. I got rid of my MiFi and I have been working on this for 3 months. Phone was exchanged for new one and set up as new phone 3 times! What really makes me angry is that they put me through hours on the phone, going to the Apple store, restoring as a new phone and replacing all of my contacts, re-setting up my voice mail...hours of my time when they KNEW none of this would work!
    They know these devices are defective but refuse to stand behind their products. They want me to take some small gift from the online store. I am not looking for something for free, I am looking for a solution. I asked if they would defray the cost of me obtaining a new MyFi and they refused to even consider it.
    Apple has a huge pull on me because I am deep into the ecosystem of Apple. I did this because I trusted Apple. That trust is dead. I am giving them one more chance to see if engineering can come up with a solution. If not, I am off the AT&T to purchase a Samsung Galaxy and release myself from all things Apple.
    If you are having the same problem, don't waste your time. Apple believes they no longer need to stand behind their products. It's time that consumers help Apple regain some humility!

    Hi Gwing17,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that all of your iPhone sounds are working as expected except for the Sent Mail sound. I understand that you have already changed the Sent Mail sound as well as reset your iPhone and the issue persists. In this situation, to isolate the issue, I would first recommend backing up your iPhone to either iTunes or iCloud.
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    After you have backed up, I would recommend restoring your iPhone and setting it up as new to test the Sent Mail sound. If the sound works as expected, try restoring from your backup and test the sound again. Please let me know if the issue returns or if the sound still does not work when you set up your iPhone as a new device.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

    iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

    On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function  allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
    addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default  driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
    and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
    The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
    driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
    Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows  need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
    is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

    Hi,
    For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
    Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited.  To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
    bit (locally administered) in the second nibble.  Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
    In other words 
    MAC address:  “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal.  The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is  Y:  “kmnp”,  where “p” is the least significant bit; 
    p=0 --> unicast;
    p=1 --> multicast;
    n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
    n=1 --> locally administered;
    So, actually MAC can be changed  to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
    “Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
    So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
    X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

    Hello, lustige luka. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The Personal Hotspot feature using USB  should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled.  Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.
