Connecting my PDA Palm TX to Verizon wireless internet

I have a PDa Palm TX and recently switched internet service from Comcast to Verizon. I can't connect to my Verizon wireless internet service. I do not know which secuirty key setup I need. Can someone please give me instructions on connecting to Verizon internet. I have a wireless router and it works fine with my two laptop computers. Thanks!

Connecting to the internet with your TX should have nothing to do with switching from Comcast to Verizon, but rather the type of security you (or someone else) set on your wireless router. Also, some types of routers won't work with the TX. Check the "stickied" thread near the top of this board for tips and "how-to's" about wireless networking issues.
If you don't know how to get into your router settings to check them there, you should be able to see the security settings on your laptop by checking the Network settings.

Connecting a macbook pro to a verizon wireless network

how do i connect a macbook pro to a verizon wireless network? Wi-Fi connection automatically assigns an IP address and indicates that the Mac won't be able to connect to the internet. Two other MacBook Pros connect to the network without any problems. These Macs travel from home to school and back again and automatically reconnect when they are brought into the house.

I have read a few corporate IT policies and they are all PC-centric.
Unless your mac runs any windows tools such as Bootcamp Wine, Crossover, or a VM in parallels or VMware then your mac has no virus implications.
A few years ago word documents could be infected with macro viruses and although did not affect a mac a mac could pass them on. Up to date versions of Microsoft Word documents are not vulnerable to this flaw.
You could install ClamAV its a free anti virus app for the mac that would keep your IT dept happy.
Maybe I can find out what the WEP key is with a utility of some kind.
If you had a compatible usb wifi dongle and kismac you could crack their WEP key but this would be probably illegal in your country so I dont condone this activity but if you got written permission from your employer to give them a free penetration test, something that normally involves hiring a security company this would save them money and highlight the insecurity on their network.
Or use an Ethernet connection.

Since June 3, 2013 MiFi 4g Verizon wireless internet will not connect to my Face Book

I am using the MiFi 4G Verizon wireless internet connection. Since Monday, June 3, 2013, the only internet site I cannot get into now is my Face Book. If I do finally get in anything I click on is dead or just sits there and spins. I thought I had been hacked but after 3 days of trying I finally was able to get into my FB account settings and changed my password. So I know I wasn't hacked. It takes try after try to get into the FB, but generally nothing is clickable. After having it so many years why all of a sudden is this happening and to only this site on my wireless connection? My Daughter has cable internet connection and she is having not one problem. Her FB loads right up. Then I hear on the tv all this stuff about the gov spying on Verizon customers. Not just phones but they say FB too. I pay for my internet connection and should be able to get all sites. Is anyone else having this problem all of a sudden?

Hi. I had replied to muttandjeff on his question internet issues as I was having the same problem and all pc's and laptops in my house and my husband's FB account too. Anyway, after about 5 days of this I had tried once again one evening to get into FB and it went right in! I thought wow. So I came back here to muttandjeff's posts to find that he had ;posted abount an hour before I got there that all of a sudden he could get into FB. And that was about the same time for me too. So I posted to him that we could now too all of a sudden. Anyway, as long as I have had my MiFi and my FB account, this is the first time this has ever happened and I do appreciate that you all keep up with what is going on in this forum and that the problem has been resolved. Thank you! Also, on my question before I logged out it said question not answered and beside it then was an insert to mark as question now assumed answered. I clicked on that. Thanks again!!!!

Connecting a work laptop to Time Capsule wireless internet

I have recently upgraded our G4 iMac and MacBook Pro to Leopard. I have connected a Time Capsule to both machines using the wireless facility on the capsule. It asked for a password when I set up the network so I created one. However, my husband also connects to the network with his work pc. Since moving from Airport Express with no password to the new network he can no longer get online. How do I fix this? Can I create another network without the need for a password or is it something to do with his computer? I have tried deleting the password but it keeps putting it back.
Sharing
I also need to know how the two computers can share wirelessly. Most of the photos, music etc are on the iMac. I am not 100% as to how the Time Capsule works!! Aren't we supposed to pull the files we want to use from the Time Capsule??? and then it backs up. How do I set up sharing and can I delete all the files on the Mac's now since they are on the Time Capsule? I need someone to explain to me how this new system works!!
Cheers,
Maria Birchall

The Time Capsule can store files on its hard drive for sharing across the network. Sharing files off one computer w/o copying them to the TC's hard drive is a general networking question and unrelated to the Capsule. Check the Leopard rums for an answer to that (though I believe the "Drop Box" in "Public" in your Home folder is the easy way to do this).
Your husband's work PC (which says "Windows" to me) probably needs to "refind" the network without the old one to muck it up. You should be able to view the "Properties" of the old connection and delete it. I could talk you through it but I'd have to fire up my (buggy) PC and I'm on the way to bed. He should be able to log in even with the password though. Be sure your TC settings are compatible with his work PC. Also, one way to "cheat" is just to rename the SSID. This will force all computers to look for a new network the first time they login. Sometimes it's the easiest way to make a computer "forget" the old one.

Stuck with wireless internet, want wired dsl

I got a buddy in Eagle River, WI, that is stuck in a contract for many months with a verizon wireless internet plan with only 5GB of data, but he desperately needs to get a wired plan such as DSL or cable. He generally runs out of data within a week and cannot use the internet on his computer for the rest of the month (his usb dongle won't allow him connect). Is there any way at all to migrate from wireless data to DSL without a 500 dollar contract break fee or paying for both plans full price at the same time?

Sure, it's just a matter of routing.
If your existing network is using 192.168.1.x you can create another network between the two machines in a different subnet (e.g. 10.1.1.x). This 'network' could consist of just those two machines connected via an ethernet cable such that the Mac is 10.1.1.1 and the PC is 10.1.1.2.
Now all you need to do is decide which IP address you connect to. If you connect to the 192.168.1.x address you'll go over the wireless link. If you connect to the 10.1.1.2 address you'll use the wired connection.
The only trick is to use different subnets on each link - if you try to set both interfaces to the same network you will have problems.

Laptop won't reconnect to home wireless FiOS connection after using Verizon Wireless connection

I have a laptop that I've had connected to my home FiOS Internet connection without problems in the past. Now, when I leave the house and use my Verizon wireless stick to connect to the Internet and then return home the laptop no longer connects to the home wireless network. Any ideas? I've already:
Rebooted the laptop
Rebooted the router
Viewed the settings for the laptop connection on the router info page
Thanks.

Hello,
If your internet connection at home is working fine using a wired connection (using an ethernet cable) to the router and you're only having trouble connecting wirelessly, then I would recheck the network settings on your laptop:
http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/addwireless/1265...
The important part of this process is ensuring that you're selecting the right network name (SSID) for your home residential wifi network and entering the corresponding encryption key.
If you need additional help, please call Verizon's Technical Support department at 1-888- 553-1555.

Re Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect garbled voice problems

I hooked up a Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect device and plugged my Panasonic KX-TG5665 5.8 GHz Digital Gigarance phone base into the home phone connect device in the center of my home. We have several Panasonic extension phones in different rooms in the house. This changed the quality of my phone service to terrible , to the point where we don't even want to answer the phone. Incoming callers are complaining that we are "garbled" and difficult to hear and understand. It also sounds like the callers are garbled as well. We can no longer use the "speaker" on the phones because the voices are so garbled. I plugged in a wired phone to the Verizon device (which meant answering the phone at the Verizon device, which is not convenient) and the incoming callers say that our voices are "less garbled". I need to know how to fix this problem. I hesitate to go out and buy new phones until I know if this is a Verizon device problem. What phone systems work well with this device? We have a large 2-story home and live in an area with a lot of oak trees, and need to have reliable phone service (not just in one room with a corded phone).

I had to check and see if this was a recording of one of many calls I made to Verizon about my problems. I have had it almost 2 yrs now and HATE IT!! No one can fix it talking on it is as tyvm518 and pete92833 have said, it is so "garbled" The worse thing is that when places put you on hold and play music ! OMG I feel like I will bawl it is so horrible! No one understands that at all! I have changed phones, bought phones and even borrowed phones from family to check it out. Little or no change at all. The last tech that I spoke with even went so far as to say that "I should never been connected with this set up because when she checked it out I had little to no signals in my area. But nothing was done about it. I was told a couple of times that they would send someone out to check it for me. I have MS, am disabled and elderly. My husband is ill and 74. I rely on my phone and my PC a lot. I wanted to get out of my contract after she told me that it was basically they who were in the wrong to set me up. After all I only had a few mo to go. But she said that I would have to pay a "FINE TO CANCEL EARLY"!! I did tell her that I hate it and and will not be resigning another contract! Maybe that is why they do not call back? I NEVER lose my temper, use bad language or nor disrespectful. I use my daughters AT&T cell phone most of the time now.

Best wireless router too share Verizon Wireless USB720 connection?

Our connection with Verizon Wireless via USB720 modem on an older Imac keeps dropping because we us that via airport to connect 2 other Macbooks. In research, I guess it's because airport and EVDO share a similar RF. Anyway, I need a wireless router for the USB720, and I don't have a clue where to start. What's the best router? Am I going to have to install the VZ Manager for the USB720 on the router, via the Imac?

check out the 3G/cellular routers from Cradlepoint.
The best one for home use is the http://3gstore.com/MBR1000 because of its WiFi N wireless range.
You won't use/need VZAM. you connect via airport or ethernet cable to the MBR1000

Echo on Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect-Why? How to Correct?

Several months ago we switched from Verizon land line service to "Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect". (4G Cellular). Up until a month or so ago all was good. Now we have a very strong ECHO on our end only (the person on the other end does not hear it) during many calls. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. But we've not seen any pattern (time of day, etc.) Also, it always lasts for the entire call; does not come and go during a call.
This echo is so annoying that we hate to make or answer a phone call.
What is the cause of the echo? How can it be corrected?
Perhaps coincidentally, the signal strength has dropped from a consistent 3-4 bars to a consistent 1-2 bars. Can't help but wonder if there is a correlation.
If we cannot get this corrected we will go back to a land line; and NOT likely Verizon.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

YosefT_VZW, Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions:
1.     Yes, the antennae if fully extended (and has not changed since installation).
2.     This is not a land line and I have no land lines in the house. But it occurs with all connected extension phones (1 cordless set of 4, and 1 hard wired desk phone).
3.     And, Adjusting the volume does not make any difference to the echo problem.

Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme but error says Ethernet unplugged.

Trying to connect Verizon wireless router to Airport Extreme and error says Ethernet Unplugged.

So, AirPort Utility running on the Windows Vista desktop can "see" the AirPort Extreme and displays its icon, but gives that error message at some point in the setup process? How far does it get?
Other questions that may help me (or somebody else) understand your problem better:
Which of the pieces were verified as working before the introduction of the AirPort Extreme?
Did you have the desktop computer attached to the Verizon GT704WGB with one of the Ethernet cables you are now trying to use? Which one? Have you tried the other one to be sure it also works?
Are you using the same port on the GT704WGB? Have you tried another one?
If the desktop has multiple ethernet ports, are you using the same one?
Had you done any special configuration of the ethernet port on the Verizon GT704WGB to get it to work with your desktop?
What category ethernet cable are you using? 3? 5? 5e? 6?

Trying to Connect iBook to Internet Via Windows PC Verizon Wireless Card

I have a Windows PC laptop (IBM Thinkpad) that has a built-in Verizon wireless broadband card, which allows me to connect to the Internet from any location. I'm trying to find a way to share this connection with a Mac iBook. I can hook the two computers to each other with an ethernet cable, but then I can't figure out what to do to allow the iBook to access the PC's internet connection?
BTW - the PC is running XP, the iBook OS 10.4 (and Airport, although this doesn't seem like an Airport-related issue).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Matthew

Do I need an Air Port Base station or a router? After I set up everything on my mac mini, what steps do I need to follow on the iBook to get Internet access?
The AirPort base station is a router. You are not limited to AirPort base stations as non-Apple 802.11g routers (like those from Belkin, D-Link, or Linksys) will work just as well. Using a router, your network configuration would be something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN] router > (wireless) > wireless computers.
The set up for both computers, to access the router, would basically be the same.
To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

I have a Motorola Droid Ultra and my phone just does not catch Verizon Wireless Service anywhere. It shows up as 4GLTE and i can still connect to my data & go on the internet but I cannot make any calls. Ocassionally it will connect to "Verizon" and I can recieve SMS (Text Messages)but still no calls.

Titah420,
We definitely want you to have access to all your services. What happens when you try to make a call? Are you able to receive calls? Are text messages an issue?

Cannot connect Verizon Wireless Fivespot 3G Mobile Hotspot to either vista or windows7.

I have tried both bestbuy & the wireless store. I have other devices that connect, Colby, Acer tablet, HP laptop with XP & Ipod. My compaq laptop runs Vista and won't connect, but will connect to other wirelss networks. The wireless store sent a new unit. That doesn't work either. Any ideas?

I would certainly like to help you with this issue. Are you getting an error message when you try connecting? Are you having this issue both wirelessly and thru USB? It sounds like it may be an issue with security settings in the computer. Try manually creating a connection with the Fivespot. If it is still not working I would suggest speaking with a computer professional.
