How to tell if wifi is connected

Hello! I am having a very hard time connecting to the internet via wifi on my BB curve.
Wifi is turned on and it says I am connected when I do a wifi network search. However, the wifi logo at the top right of the homwscreen is grey. When I go to manage connections it it has a check mark next to wifi and then my network name but the button on the right is yellow with a "-" (line) through it rather than a check mark?
Does this mean it is connected or isn't? I am so confused.
Sometimes I am able to browse but most of the time I simply get this message:
Unable to connect to the internet, pleae try agian later.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi
You may be aware that BB have had some Wi-Fi issues which could cause the problem, although these may be solved now.
If you are successfully connected to Wi-Fi, then the Wi-Fi symbol will be bright black and white. If its grey, it is not connected.

How to set up wifi hotspot connectivity

I have an old laptop that was upgraded from XP to Vista Business. It runs OK but is very slow. I have Fios wireless at home and it connects fine, but the In-house Agent won't run properly (blank pages for the Internet & Phone sections...Chat tech was unhelpful). My question is: how can I set up the hotspot connectivity without having to use the worse-than-useless In-house agent?

the link I gave is for a windows machine
Droid has it's own app, and boingo is what Verizon uses - so you can safely download boingo and then when it asks for your login, you put your VZ log in info.
you DO have to create a seperate WIFI log in though, So you should go to www.verizon.net/
Hover over my verizon and then select VIEW all from the my services menu > then select internet on the left hand side menu > then select manage under the verizon wifi section.
Manage gives you two options
Find Wifi Hotspots
WiFI how to demos
Select Wifi how to demos and then click and follow the registration link
when you get there, it wants you to sign in, you sign in with your main account, and then you go through the Wi-fi registration steps to make a Verizon WIFI username
these are going to be seperate usernames, one used for your account and online access, you already have this one
and the next is one specifically for wifi hotspot access, you are creating this one (if you haven't already done so)

How to get Xfinity WIFI to connect with Droid Razor

Since my Droid web browsing ability became basically non functional w/ in the past couple of weeks for no apparent reason, I decided to
try to connect to home Xfinity WIFI. I use the WPS PIN from my XFINITY router for many devices w/ no problem. My droid displays my home WIFI as "HOME6c6c secured w/ wpa/wpa2 (WPS Available).' I enter my XFINITY WPS PIN, when prompted on my droid, but I receive an error message. Is there a setting to change to WPS on the DROID? Any help is appreciated. Is there a known problem w/ XFINITY / VERIZON Droid compatibility?

While I don't have the Razor, I use Comcast Xfinity and wifi to connect our Android and iPhones without an issue.
When you go into settings for wifi, before selecting any specific connection, tap the settings, and there you should see some options for WPS settings.
For advanced settings, select Show advanced options (enabled when a check mark is present).
Ensure additional settings (e.g. WPS, Proxy settings, IP Settings, etc.) are configured appropriately (if applicable) then selectSave.

How to tell current wifi connection protocol?

Since my Time Capsule is set up to use radio mode: 802.11n (b/g compatible),
how can I tell which speed/protocol my iMac is actually using for its current wifi connection?
(I don't see this info in System Profiler.)

If your mac is wireless N capable it will connect to your base station using the wireless N protocol however you wont benefit from the extra speed wireless N offers in a mixed network you have to setup and exclusive wireless N network.
To see how fast your connection is install menu meters from raging menace

Then in the menumeters preferences set it up to monitor your network connection. This will then show you what speed your wireless interface is connected.

How to tell if WiFi is used by apps and features t...

Hi there,
I just started to use the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone.
To discover the phone and all it's abilities I consume a lot of data from the internet (chat messages, photo's, websites etc.)
My subscription with my phone provider is limiting the amount of data to 250MB. More data will result in extra costs.
At home and WiFi hotspots, I connect using WiFi.
I see on top the screen the 3G symbol as well as the WiFi symbol when connected.
But my question is: How do I know for use that when I am connected to a WiFi server, it will download data from the internet using WiFi , rather then the 3G which will have impact on my MB usage of my subscription.
Additionally: how can I see how many MB (data) I have consumed sofar..?
Thanks for the help.

"Additionally: how can I see how many MB (data) I have consumed sofar..?"
This is not a function from what others have told me on here.
To be honest its not a function on Android either. However on Android there are a number of apps available that record useage. Some of the better ones even turn off 3G when you get to your limit.
I emailed the developer of the one I used on Android and he said he had no intention of developing any thing for Windows :-(

How to tell when another computer connects

How can you determine if another computer on your network or the internet connects to your Mac? The appfirewall.log will log any attempt to connect, but does not tell if the connection was successful or not. For instance - "Allow smbd connecting from 10.0.1.4:49999 to port 139 proto=6" is reported in the log whether the connection attempt succeeded or failed.
Is there no way to determine when a remote share connects to your Mac for file sharing?

If by "connects" you mean AFP filesharing, I have not heard of a notification for that. You can run this command in Terminal, which reports all AFP users connected:
netstat -na | grep 548
You can wrap the command in an Applescript for more convenience, then run it from the Applescript menu:
tell application "Terminal"
if not (exists window 1) then do script ""
do script "netstat -na | grep 548" in front window
end tell

Portege Z930: How to create GPRS / Wifi / LAN connection profiles?

Hi !
I can't find any software (Toshiba or Intel) on my Portege Z930 that can manage
connections profiles to automatically be connected on GPRS or Wifi or LAN regardless to connections available (office, home, public area...)
Toshiba Wirelss manager runs with GPRS only and not wifi or lan
Thanks for your help !
Best Regards

Hi
Such universal utility is not known to me.
The Toshiba Wireless manager handles the 3G profiles.
For Wlan connectivity and profile management you could use the TOSHIBA Configfree
Here a short details:

Well, and LAN would works until the LAN cable is connected :)

(EA4500). With static IP assigned, how to tell of devices are connected?

I've assigned static IPs to all of my network devices.
Logging onto the router, there does not appear to be any way to tell whether any device is connected or not. Is this normal?

Static IP assignments are only done on the device itself. You switch the device from DHCP to static IP and configure everything on the device itself.
DHCP reservation is not a static IP assignment. It's telling the DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to a specific device. The device still runs on DHCP and cannot tell whether the IP address received is the IP address reserved or not. That's something entirely different and not to be confused with static IP.
Linksys routers never showed a complete list of connected devices. As mentioned before, you can only see the list of wireless devices associated. You won't see wired devices with static IP nor DHCP reservation and even the DHCP client list is often incomplete...

How to share iMac WiFi Internet connection without a router

I would like to know if I can link my iPod Touch (new one) to my iMac so that share my internet connection via wi-fi via Airport at home without a router.
I have tried to like my ipod touch to iMac by turning airport and setting up a new network, the ipod touch is able to pick up the wireless signal of my iMac ant the Airport status bar shows an arrow out which mean that airport is sending signal out but for some reason when I try to use Safari or Mail in get the following error message "cannot Open Page Page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet"
Also when when scanning for wireless signal with my iMac I am able to pickup my neighbours wireless signal while my iPod Touch is only able to pickup my iMac airport wireless signal.
What I am missing ?

1. Open System Preferences
2. Go to 'Sharing'
3. Click on 'Internet Sharing' (leave the box unchecked for now).
4. From 'Share your connection from' choose 'Built-in Ethernet'
5. From 'To computers using' check the 'Airport' box
6. Open 'AirPort Options' (bottom right), name the network. (Once it all works, go back and assign a password).
7. Now, check 'Internet Sharing' box and turn on AirPort. The AirPort sign on the iMac menu should turn into an arrow.

I believe the next time you sync your phone to itune via the cord, you will have to check the box that says sync via wifi and also enable that setting on your iphone.

How can I tell the device is connected to itunes 12?

how can I tell the device is connected to itunes 12? I have Windows 8. I hear that the device is connected, but don't see the device to manage. Only thing that happens is on the phone it says Trust the computer.. I say Trust and nothing happens.

in ituens at the top where you see the small icons for Music, Movies, TV etc when your device is connected you will see a small icon representing your phone or ipad etc popup click that and it will show you the usual interface for backup and syncing.
if that doesnt happen, like it didint for me initially, you should close itunes fully via task manager if you know how to do this and start it again with the device unplugged then plug it in after itunes has finished loading.
Worst case scenario you nee to resatrt

How do I change my set up to allow my wife to connect to my iCloud accout too

How do I change my set up to allow my wife to connect to my iCloud accout too

You don't give a lot of information. Do you each have a separate device or Mac (or user account on the same Mac)? Do you each have your own separate iCloud accounts? If this is the case your wife can sign into your account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail Contacts and Calendars and check the data types she wants to sync. They will appear alongside her own iCloud data, though she will not be able to use Photo Stream with this account.

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.
