Connecting from WRT54GL to Verizon MIFI2200 wireless hotspot
I have my WRT54GL connected to my desktop and I have been using satellite internet. I can connect via wireless from my laptop. I now want to get rid of the satellite and use a Verizon MIFI2200 wireless hotspot. So, I want to connect wireless from my desktop to the MIFI2200. I do not seem to have anything on my desktop which will allow me to see wireless networks. The MIFI2200 is working because I can connect from my laptop. The desktop with the WRT54GL is also working, because I can connect to it from my laptop. What do I need to run on the desktop to see available wireless networks? I don't seem to have anything available like Linksys Wireless Manager.
Thanks!
You need a wireless adapter for your desktop to connect to wireless networks.

My Verizon wireless service at my house has begun to degrade over the last 6 Month. It has begun to be very frustrating seeing how we switched over from Satellite to Verizon 4GLTE wireless device. How do I contact someone to see what the issue may be. Zip Code 22580.
Out of curiosity how much data per month are you using? Another factor could be if neighbors have all done the same thing as you and the node is being overloaded on home internet use.

When connecting Apple devices to your iPhones wireless hotspot do those devices stop background data processes to conserve data?
In other words if you have a limited data plan on your iPhone will your other Apple devices such as an iPad automatically cease background data transfers to conserve data usage?Nice trick to connect your Apple Devices to your wireless network.
Will help the users if they are facing the problem with the apple devices. -
[SOLVED]Connecting to Verizon Mifi (wirelss hotspot) breaks everything
This question is obviously network related, but I thought it would be more appropriately placed in this forum because it's really not so much a connectivity issue.
I recently got my hands on one of those Verizon Wireless Hotspot Mifi devices:
I observed that everything on my install works great until I actually connect to the device. Once connection is established my computer is rendered virtually useless. Specifically, I cannot run any programs (chromium, terminal, anything).
Interestingly, if I boot up and start an instance of chromium and a terminal then those specific instances will continue to (partially) work until I close them, but no new instances can be created. I say partially because I did notice that pages began to load incompletely after a while and eventually the open instance ceased to work as well.
Upon reboot everything works just as it should - unless of course I connect to that wireless hotspot again. Any ideas?
Last edited by sherrellbc (2014-07-07 22:22:15)As it turns out this issue had nothing to do with the Mifi at its root. Also, I later realized that the problem would only occur if I connected to some network and then switched to another - regardless of which network I started and ended with.
> hostname
Would return "localhost", but would later change to "localhost.localdomain" after a network switch. It turns out that I never set the hostname of my computer, so for whatever reason it was getting changed when connecting to a network.
First, why the change in hostname only when switching to a second network?
And why does the hostname have such a dramatic affect? Namely, once the hostname changed everything breaks?
I read in the Arch wiki that you can dynamically change your hostname at anytime (even temporarily), so what was happening?

Hi there can anyone help me out. I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free, anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -

> I kept O.S. original for a week and the problem was the same
If you had the same problem with factory settings you should test another router. Maybe its a malfunction of router or something else (not compatible to your WLAN card).
Furthermore ask the manufacture of your router if they know something about this.
In worst case its a hardware malfunction of your notebook. You should contact nearest service centre. I believe they can fix it under warranty, because A660 is pretty new notebook.
Good luck! :) -
Home Hub 3: ethernet & wireless connections from i...
I have a perplexing problem whereby the functionality I get from my Home Hub 3 is different depending on whether my brand new iMac computer running MacOS 10.7.2 is connected wired (i.e. using ethernet) or via wireless.
The functionality difference has shown itself to me in the two scenarios below. It's a problem to me because the problems occur when the iMac is connected via ethernet and I want to use ethernet to connect my iMac. If the wireless connection to the iMac was as reliable as everything else on my network (mac laptops also running 10.7.2, windows 7 laptops, iphones, ipads etc) I would be content to use wireless. However, the iMac frequently drops the signal requiring a wireless on/off to get it back. I'm tending to hold the iMac responsible for this and await an Apple fix, although having changed the security setting on the Home Hub 3 to WPA2 only and set the channel to channel 4, the wireless dropouts are much less frequent, without these changes it drops the signal every few minutes. Any input on this would be gratefully received.
I want wired for connection reliability (and speed), but I have a two situations where I get more functionality out of my network if the iMac is connected via wireless. A classic case of being caught between two stools.
Scenario 1
I have a WD MyBook Live NAS drive attached to the Home Hob 3 via ethernet with the intention of using it as a Time Machine backup disc for the iMac and to be a shared drive for our macbook and windows laptops. All seems fine at first with the iMac connected via ethernet, the browser can see the NAS drive and set it up etc, but Time Machine will only see the WD MyBook Live if wireless is switched on.
Scenario 2
I have an HP 5510 wireless printer and set it up and HP software installed on the iMac. With the iMac connected to the Home Hub 3 via ethernet printing is fine, however, scanning doesn't work, the scanner and iMac cant see each other. With wireless scanning is fine as well as printing.
I haven't wanted to mess with it all any more, Ive spent hours going through the HP software, the WD software, the router as well as the network preferences on the iMac. It's not making make sense. Anybody who knows what's going on here would be a genius in my book!Hi mja, Apologies but I'm not the expert you're looking for, but a couple of my experiences may be of interest. I've got a WD my book running as a networked back up drive. A while back there was an update for a "USB" connected hard drive (which mine is definitely not) - this confused my PC -- wouldn't let it close down amongst many other symptoms --with great difficuly managed to disable the driver and sanity was restored. The other problem involved a print server that has a static IP address -------- my HH3 sometimes gives that IP address to other items on my network --------- this stops the printer working. Apologies if this post is not formatted correctly, I'm using an iPad --- not by choice,, All the best Michael

I'm a tester and sometimes I need to test some applications on the Iphone, the company that I work for may get us one but only if we find a way to connect it to ethernet without being via wireles, since for the company politics it would be considered a risk of security
No.
Use the cellular data connection.
Set up a seperate wireless network that is completely seperate from the company network for Wi-Fi devices. -

How do I set up a connection from my time machine to my newly installed a wireless cable modem.
Hi, I previously I had an ethernet connection from a non-Wireless ADSL modem to my time capsule / airport base station. I now have a wireless cable modem. My mac book can no longer find the the airport base station and is unable to backup to the time capsule. Can my time capsule be set up to pick to use the modem WiFi? I previously used the Airport base station WiFi but I do not need to do that now.
Your modem is also a router that has wireless built in. It also has Ethernet ports on it. So connect your TC the same way as you did before. I don't thing you can connect the TC to your new modem/router box by WiFi and still use it as a backup point.

Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them. Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport). What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?
First thing to try is reset Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1. -
How to share mobile wireless connection from Win XP to mac?
Hi,
I have two comupters,one mac and one PC (win XP). I am trying to share the mobile wireless broadband from my PC to the mac. I set up the sharing from mac to PC successfully quite a while ago, but now I need to work extensively on mac. So I tried to set up the sharing in the other around and nothing worked at all. Here is what I did.
1. I enabled the sharing of the mobile wireless connection on PC.
2. I tried to set up a small/home network, but it didn't work on Mac as the windows softwares can't be run on mac
3. I also tried to set up a peer-to-peer connection from PC to Mac which also didn't work.
Does anyone how to do the sharing from PC to Mac? Thanks a lot!Okay, firstly some routers or mdoems come with 2 ports on the back so you can connect two different computers so simply plug them both in
if not, then i advise you buy a router which allows you to add numerous computers to the same network via wires or add numerous computers wirelessly
i have one computer connect to my netgear router -wired
i have one computer wirelessly connected with a Netgear USB wireless reciever
then i got my laptop which is connected via wireless
i have xbox live which i connect to the internet via my laptops wireless connection, this can be done with any pc or laptop aswell
what you do is
wireless networks - where it showws any detected networks
change advanced options - on the side
advanced tab
then allow other computers to use this computers internet connection
simple as
all you do is plug in your other pc or whatever -

Connect hp photosmart plus b209 printer to verizon fios wireless router
Having trouble connecting HP Photosmart Plus B209 printer to verizon fios wireless router in order to access printer via home wireless network. The WPS (push button) connection option is not available on the current software version of router (VERIZON M1424WR rev.1 (Mfg. ACTIONTEC)). So, need to know how to connect via the PIN option.
Normally, to connect a wireless device (like this HP printer) to the network, the device would input the router's security pin (e.g. WEP key). But I can't figure out how to input the router's WEP key via the printers face screen. And, after talking to Verizon, there is no provision to enter the printer's pin within the router's control setup online.
Any suggestions? Thanks.This may help: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02986958&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N1042
