Create wireless network from MBP

Hello,
My work place doesn't use wireless network and I have to use ethernet connection to connect my MBP online. But my iPhone is out of luck and have to use EDGE for the connection (mine is 2G iPhone).
Is there a way to setup my MBP so that it creates a wireless network for my iPhone to connect to? I'm thinking like printer sharing feature but for internet... Is it even possible??
Thanks for any help!!

Yes I saw the Internet Sharing option, but the box is grayed out and I cannot activate it. Please help.
Thanks again!

I just purchased the airport Express to use in hotels while traveling to create a wireless network from the hotels wired dsl. A friend said to set up the network from home prior to traveling. How do I set this up? Thanks.

In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
To create a new profile:
Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
When done setting the options, click Update.
To switch profiles:
Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

Changing TimeCapsule from main WDS to create wireless network

My timecapsule is set up as main WDS unit, because I had an old Airport Express without 802.11n, so setting up WDS was the only way i could use the Airport express to extend the range of my network. I now have an airport express with 802.11.
How do i change the settings on the timecapusle to create a wireless network, instead of WDS, and then use the airport express 802.11n to extend it? Do i have to deletee the current settings? Do I change them? Do I set it up from scratch?

I would recommend that you start from scratch to set up both AirPort for the 802.11n version of WDS. The following are the basic step-by-step to do so. I would also recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on both base stations to be sure they are in their "out-of-the-box" configuration. Note: This may not be necessary for the new AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) that you just got, but I would strongly recommend it for the Time Capsule. In addition, this reset will NOT affect anything that is already on the TC's internal or any external drives.
Dynamic WDS - Extending a Wireless Network Setup
If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
Open AirPort Utility, and then, select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then, click Wireless.
Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then, choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
Enter the base station network and base station password if necessary.
Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Ai

How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Air.
I had set up a WEP Network but I need to set up a WPA (personal) network now and i cant seem to change the WEP network to a WPA2 network.
Thank you for any help you can provide me.
LShaps

The MacBook Air will autodetect WEP and WPA security changes and should allow you to reconnect again. If the password stored in the Mac is wrong, it will ask you to enter it again.
With that said, to forget a network do the following:
- Go to the Apple Menu and select System Preferences
- Click on the Network icon
- Highlight the Airport / WiFi entry (sepending on 10.6 vs 10.7)
- Click the Advanced button at the bottom
- Make sue the Airport / WiFi tab is selected
- Click on the network name you want to forget
- Press the minus button at the bottom of the list.
You may also want to consider restarting if you are having this issue.

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

Does anyone know how to get an ipad to use the wireless network from an airport?

Does anyone know how to get an Ipad to use the wireless network from an airport express?

By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Your iPad should "see" this network and be able to connect to it. Have you tried going through the iPad's Settings > Wi-Fi > Choose a Network... option. If so, does the AirPort's wireless network appear in the list of available networks?
Can other wireless devices connect to the AirPort's network?

Creating wireless network (& connecting Xbox 360)

Hello,
I have an iMac G5 and a newly acquired Xbox 360..unfortunately both are in sperate rooms.
I have a Sppedtouch USB modem and would like to create a wireless network, so I could access Xbox Live downstairs.
Any recommendations on a router (?) and also would Xbox Live be available if the iMac wasn't turned on?
I apologise in advance for my lack of knowldge!
Thanks in advance,
Ben

No , you have to run ethernet cable from your modem to the router .. and then it has 4 wired access PORTS for you to plug your systems in with ethernet (or , since you want to run the 360 from downstairs , wirelessly) . You dont have Ethernet on the iMac or modem ? i thought they came with gigabyte ethernet . If you can't get to it with ethernet and need usb , you need a different model router which i'm sure someone else in here will have info on for you .
cheers

Extend wireless network from Uverse/Motorola 1ZVDC via Airport express

After spending 2+ hours trying to extend son's network via A Express, can this be done straight from his uVerse Motorola 1ZVDC modem? I can get the express to show up, but will not work/extend network, and doesn't show up in wireless menu; only in airport utility :-(
Now I saw an old post which says express cannot expand network from non-apple modem. Is this correct? I don't think he wants to pay for Extreme + express. I am certain that, at my other residence, I am using an express directly paired to my uVerse. Here, main residence, I have 3 paired with Extreme.
He had bought a cheap extender which has to be plugged into USB on computer (wouldn't this be the modem?). I was positive the express would do the job.
His setup: OS X.6.8
Airport: 5.6.1
uVerse Motorola: 1ZVDC
Apple Express:one below
What if I plug the express directly into the modem? Of course, probably won't extend network, which is my objective.
If I give him my old extreme, what are advantages to new one?
TY for your help.
Ruth

You cannot use extend to other brands.. it is apple proprietary method of repeater.
What if I plug the express directly into the modem? Of course, probably won't extend network, which is my objective.
You can always plug in by ethernet and setup the express to create a wireless network with the same name and same credentials as the existing wireless.. this is called roaming network and is far superior to extend.
If ethernet does not allow you to place the unit in the right place.. you can try EOP adapters. (homeplug in the US).
If I give him my old extreme, what are advantages to new one?
You can extend wireless by plugging the extreme into the main modem.. setup wireless to create a wireless network.. the Express can extend an apple wireless network.
However please do understand the restrictions.. extend will halve the speed at best.. at worst it will be too slow to be usable. And the range can still be poor.. apple do not make wireless powerhouses.. they are average at best.
He had bought a cheap extender which has to be plugged into USB on computer (wouldn't this be the modem?). I was positive the express would do the job.
If it is a universal extender it should work but needs to be located where the signal is still good.. USB is probably just for power.
If the computer cannot pick up wireless signal then the extender cannot work either.

By creating wireless network with Airport Express, original wireless network stops functioning

I want to use the Airport Express to create a second wireless network downstairs. Upstairs I already have a wireless modem/router (Draytek 2850). The signal downstairs however is to weak. When I create the wireless network on the Airport Express, this works perfectly. However after the creation, the wireless part of the Draytek modem/router stops functioning. The wired part keeps working, but when I connect to the wireless part I access anything. Why is that?
The Express is set to Bridge modus and under TCP/IP I've selected that the IPV4 configurations has to go via DHCP.

I set the Network Name the same as the SSID, security type on the router is Mixed(WPA/WPA2)/PSK, which on the AX is WPA/WPA2 - personal I guess. The password is the same as the DrayTek.
Yes, WPA/WPA2 Personal on the AX is the same as the Draytek's wireless security option.
The radio channel of the Draytek router is 6, the channel of the AX is 11. Do I miss anything here?
No, it looks like you have all of the right settings as far as I can tell ... and you already stated that the AX is in bridge mode, i.e., Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) ... correct?
If so, I would recommend performing a complete power recycle of your networking components, as follows:
Power-down the DrayTek, and AX. Order is not critical.
Power-up the DrayTek; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it to stablize.
Before powering-up the AX, verify that you can gain Internet access via a wireless connection to the DrayTek. If so, continue.
Power-up (plug-in) the AX; wait at least 5-10 minutes to allow it to stablize. It should have a steady green status light. If not, use the AirPort Utility to determine the reasons why it doesn't from the Status page of the Utility.

Cannot create wireless network. I use the 2wire modem of att verse...

I cannot creat a wireless network connecting the time capsule to the 2wire att uverse modem....

Need a bit more info..
You cannot create a wireless network that joins another.
And you cannot extend a non-apple wireless network.
If you want to join the TC to the existing wireless network.. old down the options key when you click on options for wireless mode.. now if you are on lion you need 5.6 utility.
Once the TC joins the network it becomes a simple wireless client with everything basically off.
A much better option is to plug the TC into the 2wire with ethernet.. and bridge the TC.. it is then accessible from the 2wire wireless network or you can create a second wireless network or a reinforced one.
Bridge is under internet tab in manual setup.. connection sharing.. off bridged mode.

Cannot create wireless network

I am having an issue making the myRIO create its own wireless network. It has the capacity to do so, as shown in the NI myRIO tutorial video at http://www.ni.com/academic/students/learn-rio/applications/ in the Data Dashboard and NI myRIO video @ 57 seconds. In the video, it clearly shows the option to create the wireless network, however, when i follow the video's instruction, I don't have the listed option to create the wireless network. The image attached shows my screen and the clear absence of the option.
I am new to myRIO and thus still learning, but I don't have any idea why I don't have that option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Juan

It was a while ago when I last udated, so I am not completely sure what I did.
I would just run the NI update service and see what it wants to update.
Then open Max and find the myRIO. Go to the "system setting tab (along the bottom) and click the button to "update firmware". Select the newest from the dialog.

Trouble connecting to my Airport (Timecapsule) wireless network from PC

I have a wireless airport network running from a Time Capsule. I know the name and the network password and have no trouble connecting to the network from my 3 Mac computers. However, I recently tried to connect a Toshiba notebook running Windows XP and can't seem to get it to connect to the network. It does see the network and prompts for a WEP password. I enter the password but after about 10 seconds the connection attempt fails. Please help if you have any idea, I am sure this is a simple fix, but I need to access a website that is only available with Explorer 7. Thank you in advance for your help.

The Time Capsule only supports WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise security not WEP. So I assume that's the issue here.
A quick search suggests that WPA2 is not standard in XP (at least XP SP2) but can be added see [here|http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/expert/bowman_wirelesss ecurity.mspx].
But also see [here|http://tech.ifelix.net/1011.html], [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1622794&tstart=0], and [here|http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/2002.html] which you can work around this with the correct settings on the Windows side.
