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

    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.

  • I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet

    I have a problem with using MacBook Pro as wifi router when connected to ethernet. The Airport icon changes to show a laptop inside, my iPad shows connected (I think) but Safari will not operate. I tried pinging my iPad, it seems to see the iPad, but no connection to Safari or to other apps such as Good on the iPad. I have read many posting and tried repeatedly via Sharing in Systems Preferences, but no luck. Suggestions to fix, or is this a Lion problem?

    Usually this is a problem related to the domain name server address. If you open Network preferences, select your Ethernet port then click on the Advanced button then on the DNS tab. You will likely see an entry like 10.0.1.1 already listed. Click on the Add [-] button and enter 208.67.222.222 then click on the OK button and then on the Apply button.  See if this helps.
    if it does not help then repeat the above but with the Airport port.

  • How to use mobile as a wifi internet on pc...

    Hello, i want to connect my laptop to internet by using my nokia e71 wifi because my have no wifi. so plz tell me how can i connect my laptop to internet by using mobile wifi?

    You need to download and install the latest Ovi suite and install it on your laptop. Connect your phone to your laptop via usb or bluetooth in PC Suite mode. In Ovi suite, goto Tools > Connect to Internet. After setting your country and carrier, the suite will connect you to the internet via your phone.
    Note that this will connect you using your phone carrier's network, so you will incur data costs on your phone plan.

  • 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.
    -Rhod

    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.

  • Can I use my iPhone like WiFi modem witth my laptop?

    I have a question.... Can I use my iPhone like modem WiFi (i need connect my laptop to iPhone to use internet).

    The iPhone does not currently support tethering. An app that made that possible was available very briefly before being pulled from the App Store.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • HT4783 I'm trying to learn how to use Airdrop between my wife's Mac and mine. We both have it, but this article did not help us learn HOW to share files.  Yippeee that we can...but HOW?

    My wife and I are trying to learn how to use Air Drop.  The "tutorial" showed us where it is.  It came up.  I saw hers (Mac).  She saw mine (Mac). But where to go after that is, apparently, in the cloud somewhere.  The description says we can share files...which is nice...but nothing tells us HOW to share those files. 
    Thanks for your help out there...
    Dennis

    1. Open a new Finder window or use one that's already open
    2. Click on Airdrop, press Shift+Command+R, or find "Airdrop" in the "Go" menu
    3. Drag your file to the icon of the person you want to send the file to (if you have mountain lion, you can use the share button).
    4. The other person has to click "save"
    5. The file will send and appear in the receiver's downloads folder
    In Mountain Lion, a new feature was added: the share button. It's a button with a picture of a box and an arrow jumping out of it. Click on it and the third (and last) option is "Airdrop" and clicking on it will allow you to send files over Airdrop without opening it in Finder.

    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

  • How to use airport express as wifi extender?

    I have a gateway wifi router from AT&T and I want to extend the wifi range but having problem configuring it. First when I plugged the airport express my Mac's airport utility cannot locate it. Then I decide to hard wire it and my Mac recognized it but it asked for my password when this is my first setup. After resetting airport I managed to bypass the password but now it seems to be picking up another network near by. After changing it to my provider the light on my airport is still blinking and whenever I click on the airport icon on the airport utility it will indicate that the wifi network I have chosen cannot be found and that I should make sure that my main router is plugged. So does anyone who uses AT&T's gateway router has any success in connecting with the express as an extender?

    The Amber light is now steady.
    The light is green when a device is configured correctly.
    The main elements for a roaming configuration are as follows:
    o  The remote AirPort connects using Ethernet
    o  Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
        ("Extend" is used only with Apple devices when they connnect using wireless only....not Ethernet)
    o  Wireless network name on the AirPort is the same as the main router
    o  Wireless Security setting ont the AirPort must match the main router
    o  Wireless Password on the AirPort must match the main router
    o  The AirPort must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode

    I was guessing they coudn't see it on the main settings page. My experience is that it doesn't show up there until you've enabled it under Cellular. Apparently, I was correct. This time.

  • How to use celluar in iPad wifi

    Hi how to connect m'y sim to iPad 3,wifi

    If you don't have an iPad wi-fi+cellular, the iPad wi-fi doesn't include cellular connection capability.
    If your cell phone supports tethering and you have a tethering plan with your cell phone carrier, you can tether your iPad with your cell phone to share your cell phone's internet connection via your carrier's cellular network.
