How to connect SPT 1700 to 802.11b network?

I know this is an old (obsolete by most standards) device, but still...
The ads for it that I have seen, claim that it is wireless capable with 802.11b abilities. I have looked through it, but I couldn't figure out how to set it up to access a wireless network.
Can someone, first of all, either confirm or deny the claim that it is 802.11b capable and, if so, how do I set it up?
Thanks...
Post relates to: Palm Pilot

Thanks Daniel,
I'll try the suggestion asap!

Problems with 802.11b networks

My MBP did not connect to my 802.11b home network as all my PCs do. So I upgraded to an 802.11g access point and now all the computers are talking to each other and the Internet.
But the MBP will not connect to ANY 802.11b network. I have tried several and no go!! All are unencrypted so no WEP issues. Am I missing something with the MBP or is there something wrong with the software. The configuration test window shows a strong signal and green indications for the top three lights (802.11b stuff) while turning red for the bottom three (actual connection related stuff).
I am a returning Mac user after 20 yrs with the PC, but this is very frustrating.
Thanks for your help

I've connected to 802.11b networks with no problem so it isn't a general problem.
I'm not clear on what software you are using. What software shows red and green status indicators?

How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?

I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.

The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.

How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
So here's the situation:
Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
(Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
Some pointers:
- When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
- I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.

Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
Thanks

Did anyone manage to connect to a 802.11b network?

My MBP won't connect to my 802.11b router wirelessly.
It gets an IP, but the broadcasts it sends are not responded by the router or any other computer on the network.
The most likely option is, that the MBP broadcast in a "g" only mode, regardless of the fact that it should be "b/g" compatible.
My airport card firmware is 0.1.17
I wonder if anyone else can connect to a "b" router. I know that almost everyone has "g" noadays, but I don't and it bugs me that I'll have to get a new one.
MacBook pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, off course I tried all the security/no-security options the router supports. Won't work even without security.
I repeat: the Mac connects with IP (real) and all. It says it's connected, it also appears on the list of wireless connection on the router - but the transmissions the Mac sends (and it sends a lot) are not responded.
A friend of mine, a system guy, who tried to check this, said that the Mac's transmissions don't even look like "b" transmission - they are longer (or something of that sort).
The thing is: If I knew a way to enter the wireless card driver configuration, it probably would solve it. and I don't mean through the system preferences - there's nothing serious there.
On a PC it is so easy: you simply tell the card to work in a b/g mode, rather then a g only mode.

How to connect a time capsule to another network

I have recently moved to an area that has no landline system, all ISP's are provided through a wireless router. How should I connect the timecapsule into such a network?
Regards,
Martin

Unfortunately, the Time Capsule was not designed for this type of operation.
Ask the network administrator if they can provide you with, or recommend a wireless to Ethernet bridge, so that the Time Capsule can receive the Ethernet signal that it wants.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the wireless network in Bridge Mode.......but, even if that might be possible, the big downside here is that you would be setting up what is known as a "double hop" wireless situation with the Time Capsule.
If you do not understand that term.....please post back for more information.

How to use AirPlay on a 802.1x network

I'm trying to connect an AppleTV 3 to an 802.1x network, but I failed to use Airplay: no Airplay buttons appear on proper apps on my iPad 2. Only if I join a commercial ADSL network, anything works well, but this solution is not applicable to my aims (using Keynote from iPads to our interactive whiteboards).
May I install a profile configuration (link) to my AppleTV? This would solve all my problems... I tried, unsuccesully .
You can find a description of the network I tried to join here (in Italian).
I don't need to play any movie downloaded from iTunes, so I shouldn't need any Internet connection, should I? The captive portal described in the link above in necessary only for Internet, not to join the internal network.
I'm available for any further explanation and I hope to have been clear...

How to connect my iMac G4 to my network, it wont let me something about the password but I connect to a open network???Ask your question.

Hello I have been trying to connect my iMac G4 to my network but I can't. I have a secure network with a password and is not let me in but I can connect to an open network with no password??? anybody can help???

AirPort card in iMac G4 does not support strong WiFi encryption.
I think WPA is the maximum for that WiFi card.
If you have WPA2 in your WiFi network, you need to downgrade (not recommended)or wired connect the iMac G4.

Connecting TC to a 802.11g network

I have an internet connection already set up, and I want to connect my new TC to it. However, whenever I try to connect it wirelessly, it does not connect, and I have to restore the TC's factory defaults. I think this might be because the current network is only 'g' standard. Is this possibly correct, and if so, how can I change the TC settings to operate on 'g' standard (as it is compatible according to specs)?
Thanks!

Yes, you will want to run AirPort Utility and select Extend a Wireless Network as your wireless option and will run in the same wireless mode as the device it is extending (which I'm assuming is 802.11g from your information).

How to connect my G3 to a wireless network-

what do i need to connect my old G3 MAC to i wireless internet connection – my lokal AppleShop don't sell Airport to this old computer – do anybody know how i get wireless?

rberg,
all you need is a wireless router and a wireless internet card
Explore the links below. Just pay attention to the fact that you need to find a Mac compatible wireless PCI card.
The router is not a problem.
http://www.netgear.com
http://www.dlink.com/
I have one installed, serving our three B&W G3 (wired), and connecting wireless with our iBook (equipped with airport).
Their routers are airport compatible. You only need to set them up.

Setting up HP Officejet 6500A; not sure how to connect to web w/ home wireless network

I have a small home wireless network. I set the printer up today but it says that I must connect to the internet (fax part is working). The only desktop I have, I keep off most the time and just use my laptop (which is for work so I can't set the printer up to this).
Is there a way to connect the printer directly to my router? They are only a few feet from one another; however, I have no clue how to do it and the instructions manual didn't tell me much. Do I need a phone line? What would I use to connect the two?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Use an Ethernet cable, available in any tech store, online or even Target will have them.
Plug it into the back of the printer and router. You should be able to add the printer to your laptop. Let me know what operating system you have and I can help.

Cannot find instructions on how to connect printer to a new wireless network.

HP 4500 series was connected to my wireless network successfully for a year. Upon moving and obtaining new wireless network I cannot find instructions for changing wireless network for printer to recognize.

Hi,
Just connect printer to a new Network, like a brand new printer. Here are the manuals (many parts).
Good luck.

How to connect to an ieee stander wireless network in school

I am a student of UNM.
we can't get the wireless connection to our ece deperment if OSX is above 10.5.
we can get the connect under windows and linux but not Mac.
I did asked our IT about this issuse, thire answer was Apple didn't following ieee wireless stander on newer osx.
I tried all the solution on interstant including using iphone developer tools, but it doesn't work.
Is any possible that feture update can fix this problem?

That's a neat trick they used there, relying on IEEE standards, which never had any requirement for interoperability. Their wireless network, while IEEE standard, is not WiFi CERTIFIED as it still uses TKIP.
TKIP on WPA was an interim solution to WEP.

802.11b Network Management

I need to scan the air for accessible Wi-Fi APs and find connection properties [like BSSIDs, Link Speed, SNR, BW etc] between my PDA [350 series adapter] and each AP. My dev specs are NDIS 4.0 on Windows CE. Wanted to know if Cisco had any specific driver support/OIDs from which I could get/set such information.
Thx,
