How to use Graphite Airport dial-up modem in Lion?

I'm helping my father in law troubleshoot an issue with his Graphite Base Station. He connects to the net via the built-in dialup modem and has recently updated to Lion. He's used to a pop-out menu that says "dial modem" or something when selecting his base station from the airport menu. Apparently, there is no such menu in 10.7 Lion. How can he dial his modem to connect in Lion? I've walked him through Airport Utility and all the settings say to use the built in modem.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I am having the same issue. I have the white base station. Airport does work and works well without incident for my wireless printing. I only get the "disconnect" in the drop down menu. What I did for now is to go into the airport utility, select manual setup, select internet, select modem, and check the box that says automatically dial. While this seems to work for me, I do notice that while it will automatically dial, when you disconnect, it will automatically dial again. So, technically the airport will reconnect always. One way around this I suppose, as I do not care because I use my land line mostly for Internet access, is to go into the utility and uncheck the box when you do not want to connect or unplug the airport. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I am still trying to find a solution or go back to snow leopard.

How can use iphon4s as a 3G modem in mc or pc?

how can use iphon4 as a 3G modem in mac or pc?

It's called a "Personal Hotspot", otherwise knows as 'tethering'.
You must be using a supported carrier, they must support the feature, and you have to subscribe to a plan that allows tethering. Once all of these conditions are met, the option will appear in settings.
Contact your carrier.
As for how to connect your computer to it once it's working, read the manual. It is detailed there.

How shall i do it ? Complex question about how to use the airport express or time capsule ?

Hello All,
Right now i have an access point:
1/ A mercury router (cheap and old)
2/ Airport Express
Do you advice me to use it to replace my cheap old router (mercury) or to pair it with this main old router ? (however i tried to without any success)
3/ Time Capsule
Can i use it to relay the signal from the Airport Express to extend the range of the wifi?
Can i use it to stream music to my B/W M1 speakers directly ? (I will connect by USB the BW M1 to the time capsule) and would like to be able to play music this way. Is this in anyway possible ?
Many thanks for your reply !

ok, i might be wrong but here goes:
you should attach your modem to your time capsule: your time capsule will act as not only your time machine but also your main wireless transmitter.
you set it up using "Airport Utility" which is inside the "utilites" folder, which is inside your applications folder.
this connects your mac wirelessly to the internet.
to stream music to your speakers you then set up the airport plug to (a) join the existing network (which you set up on the time capsule) and then (b) set it up to stream music to your speakers. again, this is done using "airport utility". do it AFTER you have set up the time capsule.
you will then be able to use itunes to stream music to your speakers. from itunes on your computer you will be able to chose from the bottom right hand side of the window whether you play the music on your computer or wirelessly into your B+W speakers...
some notes:
1. you won't be able to connect the airport plug by USB to your speakers as the airport plug doesn't have a USB output. It has only analogue and optical.
2. although your time capsule has USB you cannot stream music into it or through it. there's some basic guidance here:
http://www.apple.com/wifi/
3. you may find that the sound quality [if you are playing apple lossless files or wav files) isn't as good as if the speakers were connected directly to your mac via USB. this should be especially noticable because your speakers are so good!
if the music you play is only mp3 or the stuff purchased from itunes then it shouldn't make too much of a difference.
4. keep an eye out on the B+W website: there may come a time when you won't even have to use the airport plug, and you will be able to stream music straight to the speakers. i know that B+W have just done that with the new Zepellin speaker that they make.
hope this helps...

Hi,
Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac.
Steps:
Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-as-a-modem/connect-to-your...
Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
- Vendor : Nokia
-Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
-Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
-APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
CID: 1
Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers
Sandy

Erattic connection using Graphite Airport Base station

I have the Apple TV (new) and am connecting to it from a Graphite Airport base station (fairly old model).
I'm streaming music to the stereo speakers (from another computer with iTunes in another room) and it works but seems slow to change tracks or shuffle, and often disconnects after about 10 mins.
I have tried downloading a TV show and it's taking over 100mins (so far!) for a 30 min episode to download.
In iStat my network connection says "In 43 Mb, Out 13Mb".
Do I need the new Airport Express to get a faster connection, or is the Apple TV just crap (judging by all the complaints on this forum?)
Thanks for any help !

Wanted to add this info about my (Graphite) AirPort from the Apple specs:
"Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b High Rate) standard and the Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) interoperability" but according to the Apple TV 2 specs it says Apple TV 2 needs:
"Wi-Fi (802.11 a, b, g, or n) wireless network (wireless video streaming requires 802.11a, g or n) or 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network" so it looks like my Airport provides 802.11b but video streaming requires 802.11a (g or n) which my Airport doesn't provide......?
Can anyone confirm if this will give me faster streaming of video?
Thanks again for any help!

How to use 2 Airport Extreme Units on a Network?

I currently have an Airport Extreme (AX) as my wireless host with internet connectivity, with an Airport Express also on the network to extend the range of coverage.
These past Holidays “Santa” delivered a new Mac Book Pro, along with a Time Machine which is built into an Airport Extreme. I am planning to install this to replace my current (less than 1 year old) existing AX. All of which begs the question as to what to do with the AX that I replace. Obviously selling it as a pre-loved item is an option. But are there other uses that I could put this AX to on my wireless network?
I currently have 2 PC’s and now 2 Mac’s on the network, plus 2 wireless printer / scanners, and our 2 i-Phones have access to the network also.
Thanks, Bruce.

You have a Time Capsule, correct?
The Time Capsule can "extend a wireless network" as well as perform backup functions on the network.
You could continue to use your AirPort Express in another part of the house to provide a stronger wireless signal in that area. (I've yet to meet the first person who felt that they had too much wireless coverage in their home).
If you have a DVR or newer DVD player that requires an ethernet connection for advanced features from the internet, the ethernet port on the Express is "live" when it is set to "extend", so you might think about that option as well.
Hotels don't use ethernet nearly as much as several years ago, but I always take my spare Express on the road to hook up to the hotel's ethernet jack and create a wireless network in the room for the laptop or iPhone. Works great.

How to use 2 Airport Express units?

In my office upstairs I use an AirPort Express to tap into the wireless router downstairs wirelessly. Works great. In a bedroom also upstairs, I have a Blu Ray player I want to connect to the Internet. I thought if I got another AirPort Express unit in that Bedroom then it too could tap into the wireless router downstairs so I could then run an ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the BluRay player. I tried that but when I look on my computer in the AirPort Utility screen, it only recognizes one of the AirPort Express units. That unit in the Bedroom continues to have a flashing yellow light and no internet connection. What do I need to do to get an internet connection in the Bedroom?

How do I configure a dial up modem to connect to my ISP?

I'm new to Solaris. Just installed Solaris 10 on an AMD64 and I'm trying to configure an external (real) 56k modem to dial out. It works under Linux and I'm assuming it will work with Solaris too. I configured the serial port for dial out. Then what? I cannot find a simple explanation anywhere for how to configure the modem and dial out. Is there a dialer program hidden somewhere that I'm missing? Please help before I flee back to Windows. Thanks.

I have follow your instruction to connect to my ISP as it shows the following message:
Serial connection established.
using interface sppp0
connect: sppp0 <--> /dev/ttya
local IP address xxxxxxxx
remote IP address 1.1.1.1
But when I ping www.sun.com, it shows:
www.sun.com unknown.
I start Mozilla and it said www.sun.com not found etc...
What has gone wrong?
Do I have to configure some files such as:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname ?
or any other steps that can help me to connect to the internet?
Thanks...

How to use the airport express to extend the range of an existing airport extreme wireless network?

The instruction manual says nothing on the topic, so maybe it is not possible. The only reason I think it is possible is that two different Apple reps told my girlfriend it was possible. Now we have one, and no clue how to proceed.
We have an Airport Extreme, but its range is maximum 30 feet. We would like to double that. What do we do with the Airport Express? (We cannot move the modem nor the Airport Extreme. What we are trying to do has nothing to do with speakers, iTunes, or printers.)
thanks
Paul

Are both the Extreme and Express 802.11n models? If so, check out this AirPort Support article; if one or both are 802.11g models, check out this article instead.

How can use my Airport Express 802.11n with IOS X 10.9.4?

I have two Airport Express unit (802.11n) used to connect my upstairs and downstairs HiFi amps to my music collection (On a Mac mini and on my MacBook). I keep my software up to date and my Airport Express units have now lost connectivity with my updated computers. They do not even appear in UTILITIES/AIRPORT UTILITY - so I cannot reconfigure. I have tried pressing the reset button and have tried "Googling" it but have had no success. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Both say A1254 (I think)
A1254 is not a model number for an AirPort Express, but if you meant to say A1264, that is an 802.11n model that is compatible with AirPort Utility on an iOS device and also the Mac running Mavericks (10.9.4).
If you have pressed the reset button as you say above (held it in for 5-6 seconds or more), then the AirPort Express devices are reset back to factory default settings.
When you open AirPort Utility on the Mac and click on Other Wi-Fi Devices, you should see the AirPort Express. Click on AirPort Express to start the setup process and follow the prompts.

How to use N900 as a WiFi modem to connect a PC to...

Hi there,
I have used the PC suite software to connect my N900 to my computer. On there, there is an option to connect to the internet via the phone but it seems that this is done only via the phone's 3.5G capability.
I was hoping that I could choose either 3.5G or the Wifi.
I have a desktop computer at home that does not have a wifi card nor is it connected to my network via a CAT5 cable. So connecting it to the phone is the only option I have. Connecting through the phone's wifi capability would be more economical than using the 3.5G subscription.
Does anyone know if one can switch between the 3G and the Wifi int eh PC Suite ?
Thanks
Fred

I don't think it is possible to use the N900 as a wifi adaptor
