Connecting to Hot Spots

Sometimes when I connect to a hot spot in a cafe or airport I can join the network, but not get to the internet, email, etc. (On some networks it works fine.)
I have tried disabling the ethernet (someone said that may help), but it made no difference.

And this occurs after submitting your payment if the internet access at the connected hotspot isn't free?

  • Airport Extreme Card- Connecting to "Hot Spots"

    I have a G4 iBook that came with an Airport Extreme Card. Is it possible to connect to "hot spots" at cafes, libraries, etc... with out having an internet connection of my own at home and without having an Airport Base Station? The computer recognizes the airport extreme card and my friend was able to connect with me computer to computer, but when I try to connect to the internet at a "hot spot" Airport does not show any networks. Is there any other hardware I need, or is it my settings on the computer?
    Thanks for any help with this question!

    edonnao, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Your G4 iBook should be able to join any 802.11b/g compliant wireless networks. You will not be able to see or join any 802.11a wireless networks.
    If the wireless networks are broadcasting their SSID (network name) the network name will appear in the AirPort menu. If they are not broadcasting their SSID, you will need to select "Other..." from the AirPort menu and enter the network name.

  • HT2822 Apple TV connection : xfinity hot spot?

    is there a way to connect my ATV to the xfinity hot spot?  It says connected but it doesn't redirect me to log on to xfinity.  So my screen only shows settings box and computers box

    a computer could connect to the hot spot and if the computer was set to share it's internet then maybe the Apple TV could connect to the computer

  • No longer able to connect to hot spot feature

    We have an employee here that has a Xoom. He connects his laptop to the Xoom's Hot Spot so he can send email and such while he's traveling. It's been working just fine, nothing seems to have changed, and, as of yesterday, he can no longer connect. There's a message saying his settings no longer match. However, the settings appear to be correct and haven't been changed. Passwords match, etc. Any ideas??

    If you have double-checked your settings and confirmed they are as they were prior to the update, and you are still unable to connect to the hotspot, please PM me with the number associated with the hotspot, along with a contact number where you can be reached for troubleshooting and we will be happy to reach out to you. 
    Thanks,

  • How to connect a time capsule with an ATT Elevate Hot Spot

    Hi,
    Need help connecting my time capsule to my ATT Elevate Hot Spot....since I have no ethernet connection.
    Thanks!

    Not sure how much we can help on this, but as a test, if you turn off the wireless on your MacBook and connect it to the router using an Ethernet cable, you should be able to log onto the Internet.
    If you can, you know the Ethernet connection is working, and it will be a simple matter to connect the Time Capsule to the router and get it set up.
    If you cannot get an Internet connection when you connect the Mac directly to the router, then more troubleshooting will be required.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4 I do not have the ability to connect to wifi.  I can't even move the on/off button at all. Also, the "personal hot spot"

    Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4, I cannot connect to wifi. The button is greyed out, so I can't even turn it on. I can't download the upgraded version that fixes some of the bugs because you have to be able to connect to the internet to download it.  I also noticed that under "Settings", my Bluetooth and Personal Hot Spot settings are constantly roaming with the circle that just keeps going around and around. I've tried everthing (I think). It was directly related to the 7.0 download because it happened right away. Any ideas? I listen to a lot of eBooks when I commute each day and I need to connect to the internet to download the full versions. I miss my books!!

    See if this helps you with the wifi issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

  • I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot with Z10

    I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot at work with my z10. We use Cisco access points. Once connected to the AP, users are redirected to https://2.2.2.2/login.html this page allows users to type a username and password and then click a button to gain full Internet access. Using the  z10 to connect to the AP  redirects me to the secure page but then throws the error:
    "Site Identity Not Verifiable"
    I then select Expand to continue and am able to add the site as an exception but then I get asecond error:
    "Unknown network error 3RFINA".
    I believe it's most likely due to the self-signed cert that the AP is using to secure the http traffic. I use to see this issue on my previous blackberry devices and playbook prior to some recent OS updates, but I am not sure what the exact fix was.  If you try to accept the error and there no prompt to install the cert as seen on my previous devices.
    I am able to connect to the same AP with my laptop, Playbook, and Bold 9900, iPod and android devices without issue. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Since the AP is not mine I am really looking for a transparent client-side solution.
    Thanks

    Same here...
    I guess the problem is invalid certificate in web authlogin page.
    Even when I add a excepetion, I still geting this same error 3RFINA.
    I remember when I had Android 1.6 I receive similar error, but when upgraded to 2.1 the errors was gone and I was able to authenticate in wifi connection here in that government build.
    Now, when I came to BB Z10, I a kind of disapointed to get same error. I now its concern by security and the guilty in that history probably is IT who admin this network for using a invalid certificate (the validation date appears in browser is a kind of funny... says its valid from 2027 to 2039)

  • We traded our home internet service for a Sprint Hot Spot.  The hot spot does not have an ethernet port to connect through.  Can we connect our time capsule to the wireless hot spot?

    Hello, we switched our home internet service from an ethernet modem to a wireless hot spot. 
    Do you know if there is a way to connect our time capsule to the hot spot? 
    Everything I read only suggests connecting through an ethernet cable.  I'm hoping there is a way to do this.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!!!

    No you can't join a wireless hotspot with a Time Capsule directly via it's 'join' option (tried and failed - well to be exact it kinda works but the Time Capsule's ethernet ports no longer work).
    What you can do is buy an airport express and use it's 'join' option to connect to the iPhone's hotspot. Then you connect the airport express via ethernet to the time capsule (in bridge-mode).
    You can then connect your computers to the time capsule via ethernet or use it's wireless function to set up wireless network (with a different name to that of the hotspot) that your wifi stuff can connect to.

  • How can I get the hot spot connection to say working on my phone?

    I cannot get my hot spot connection to stay working.

    There are phone companies that do only allow tethering with more expensive rates. Would have to talk with your company to see if your phone can rate tethering.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • Connecting to Personal Hot Spot

    I have difficulty connecting a new iMac to my Personal Hot Spot (phone or iPad) through my WiFi icon in the menu bar.  The device shows up but it will not connect and I'm forced to open Network Settings in the System Preferences, search for the Hot Spot under Networks, then connect.  My old iMac would always connect via the menu bar.  Is there a setting I am missing?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

  • Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

    Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

    If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.
