I need USB wireless adaptor any suggestions?

I am connected to the internet via an ethernet cable, no wireless here. So I cannot use my iPad, can I use  a USB wireless adaptor? what type? any suggestions as all of the USB adaptors on the market seem to be for Windows. I am in Pune India, where can I buy a suitable adaptor?

Well, a USB wireless adapter would do the same thing as the link I provided. Basically, anyone within about 10 to 15 meters of your computer would be able to access the wireless network.
An Aiport Extreme base station would allow security options to restrict access to a specific devices, require passwords, encryption, etc. If this is a business environment the best thing to do would be to talk to the IT department for an official solution.

  • TS1315 I just bought a Sony Cybershot camera, DSC-W710. I have pictures in the memory card in the camera but I am unable to download my images using the USB connection. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to download images from my Sony camera, DSC-W710, but iPhoto in my Mac is not accepting the download through a USB drive. Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately some sad folks like to come to the forum not to help but simply to pick arguments for their own amusments.
    No digitial still camera by any major maker requires installing drivers from a CD or DVD. None.
    The same is true of many scanners and copiers too, in the hands of a knowledgeable computer user. People running older systems that they don't understand or know how to use will disagree, of course, if they choose to be argumentative. Personally, I ignore usch people.
    The common causes for your issue are
    1. A USB fault. That might be a damaged cable, an issue with the USB ports on your computer or your camera. Easiest way to check: swap the cables, try a different port, make sure your camera is on and charged
    2. Try use a USB Card Reader or the Card Reader port on your Mac, if it has one.
    3. Another possibility is that the camera card may need to be reformatted - you do this with the camera only.

  • USB Wireless Adaptor for eMac

    I still have to check them out but I do not believe the eMacs in question have a built in wireless option. I am told they are running OS 10.3 and I was looking for recommendations on adding wireless to about 10 eMacs for a teacher that wants them networked but the classroom does not have any available network ports to even plug in a network switch too. USB wireless adaptor would be good unless I have to use an internal Airport card or something I guess that is fine.

    Check out the eMac specifications, for example, here. Depending upon the model, you could install an AirPort or AirPort Extreme card. This is probably the easiest way. See also the KB articles HT1621 and HT3024.
    You could per se try USB wireless adapters, but only if appropriate Mac drivers are available (if at all, usually only for Mac OS X 10.3 or higher).
    Another solution could be wireless Ethernet bridge devices (also called gaming adapters). These units (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111) do not require special drivers and can be used under almost any operating system. Not all models (or versions of a model) offer WPA security. You could connect a wireless Ethernet bridge directly to each computer (the Ethernet port). Alternatively, it ought to be possible to use wired Ethernet (via a switch) between the computers, and then one bridge device as a connection point to an existing wireless network.

  • Trouble installing USB wireless adaptor & Network settings.

    We have a 17" iMac flat panel, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. We just upgraded the memory to 1 GB. We're running 10.4.11
    Dh wants to use his iPod Touch and share the internet connection with our G4. We purchased the following USB wireless adaptor by MAXPower:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
    We installed the software, but cannot figure out how to set it up from there.
    Never mind that for now. Dh says he sees a second computer in the near future and thinks we need a proper wireless network.
    I was going to uninstall the MAXPower software and I can't figure that out either. I found the Uninstall icon, but it is asking me for a password. @@
    The thing that concerns me is when I go to System Preferences---> Network, a window pops down saying "Your Network Settings Have Been Changed By Another Application". When I click OK, the window goes up, then immediately comes back down. I can't close the window, or close System Preferences without Force Quitting.
    Dh is voting for bagging the MAXPower, getting an Airport Extreme Card and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I want to fix the glitch in Network.
    Ideas?

    hey there chelap,
    had a similar problem w/ an iMac 800 MHz G4. it was caused by me switching a USB printer to an Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g, from its port on the iMac-- iMac too old, it used 802.11 b. it changed "network settings". try d/c'ing the device & delete the software to see if this eliminates the annoying screen popping off/on.
    i'm not familiar w/ this product you're trying to use but, in reading the product page it doesn't create a Wi-Fi network, it lets you use a Mac w/ out a Wi-Fi card to connect to a Wi-Fi network--this product isn't a Wi-Fi router which you need for what it sounds like you're trying to do. i agree w/ Dh about the AE card(can be found fairly lo-$$ on eBay & pretty simple to install), though this device may work once you have established a Wi-Fi network & the AEBS, even an Airport Express will work as a base station to create a Wi-Fi network. also sharing an internet connection isn't quite the same as having a local Wi-Fi network. having a local network provides more options like using the iPod Touch + the Remote app to control iTunes or Front Row(an app) should you run Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard on this &/or a later model Mac(G5 or Intel) as well as stream audio/video, share other kinds of files to the 2nd Mac.
    good luck.

  • Belkin USB wireless adaptor drivers

    Does anyone know where I can get a driver for the belkin usb wireless adaptor? The one listed on their website only works with OSX 10.3 and not 10.4 installed on this machine? do apple provide any third party drivers for this problem? The machine is out of its applecare period so I can't ask apple themselves.
    Thanks
    Jon

    If Belkin doesn't have a driver compatible with 10.4 you're out of luck. Apple does not provide drivers for third party hardware.

    You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrade - then launch iPhoto - If you had iPhoto '08 or earlier (version 7.x.x) - the upgrade is installed in the utilities folder of your Applications folder

  • Shuffle is not recognized thru 2013 Santa Fe usb port.  Any suggestions?

    Shuffle is not recognized thru 2013 Santa Fe usb port.  Any suggestions?

    You should consult the documentation or tech support for the car audio system, to see if a shuffle is supported as a device connected to the USB port.  Also, there may be a setting on the car audio system, where you tell it that you are connecting an iPod to the USB port, and not something generic like a USB flash drive with song files.
    When you connect an iPod to a USB port on a car audio system, it is just acting as a storage device.  The car audio system is reading song files off the iPod and doing all the playing.  Therefore, you may want to use a cheap USB flash drive with song files for this purpose, instead of an iPod.  Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SanDisk/SDCZ33008G/
    and has four times more storage compared to a 2GB shuffle.  You can also leave it connected to the car audio system, except when you want to update its songs, instead of having to constantly connect and remove an iPod.  If you forget your iPod in your car, extreme heat or cold can cause damage.

  • Anyone know a USB wireless adaptor compatible with 10.5.2?

    I have a Belkin F5D7050 adaptor, got all sorts of issues with it, I've set my mac up on the net and a wireless network through it, using a Ralink driver, it works but every so often the mac crashes.
    So, need a new adaptor or better drivers! Had a search around but can't find much. Any suggestions?
    Much appreciated.

    To expand, Airport is a Mac OS X structure, Apple normally rename boring tech to something more cool e.g
    Airport = 802.11b
    Airport Extreme = 802.11g
    However, with that in mind Apple do write their own drivers to support chipsets they actually use, hence my recommendation of a BroadCom equipped card.
    As for installation, simply open your case, remove one of the blanking plates on the PCI slots (one screw), push the new card in and then the screw can go back. Close the Mac, start up and it should be seen automatically.
    Refer to your manual for location of the PCI slots.

  • USB Wireless Adaptor

    Hi, I need to have my wife's pc laptop (currently non-wireless enabled) join my macs' Time Capsuled Wireless network.
    I assume all she needs in a usb wireless 802.1n adaptor? - if so, any recommendations?

    Hi,
    The Time Capsule is "Interoperable with Wi-Fi Certified 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g and 802.11n draft 2.0 Mac computers, Windows-based PCs, and other Wi-Fi devices".
    This means that almost any USB wireless adapter should be OK, providing that there is support for the computer and its operating system. It may be wise to ensure that the PC is equipped with USB 2.0 ports.
    Depending upon the type of laptop, a CardBus or ExpressCard wireless adapter could possibly be an alternative.

  • Voyager 1055 USB Wireless adaptor problems

    I have just had a new broadband installation, with a HH3. I am changing over from an old 8Mb broadband on a different line which has a Netgear router on it. I have 3 similar Compaq PCs, 3 Iphone/iPods, and a Mac, and connected my work laptop OK to the HH3.
    The 3 PCs, 1 has a Netgear WG111v2 USP wireless adaptor which has connected OK to the HH3. The other 2 have BT Voyager 1055 USB adaptors, neither of which can see the HH3 but connect OK to the Netgear. The PC with the Netgear and one of the Voyagers are in the same room, about 4 feet apart, yet using inSSIDer2, I can see about a dozen wireless networks from all of mine and my neighbours connections, the PC 4 feet away can see only the Netgear and the Openzone from the HH3. I've switched off the Netgear, changed channels on both, reloaded drivers for the Voyager, and it makes no difference.
    Is there an issue with the Voyager 1055 that stops it seeing some networks? I've tried everything I can think of, but my last ditch effort will be to switch the routers and put the Netgear on the new broadband. The old broadband will be ceased eventually.
    Thanks

    The Voyager 1055 is a bit dated now and was originally intended for use with the BT Voyager wireless routers.
    There have not been any driver updates since it was first issued.
    I have one, and it does not like WPA2 encryption or mixed b/g/n wireless speeds.
    If you set the hub3 to use b/g only and WPA only, it should work.
    I have TP-link wireless access point and I had to use those settings to allow the 1055 to connect.
    In the end I stopped using the 1055 and used a TP-link TL-WN722N USB adapter, which also does wireless N and has an external detachable aerial.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • USB Wireless adaptor issues

    I purchased an Asus USB-N13 wireless adaptor.  I'm running a PowerPC G5, 10.5.8.  I just ran Software update yesterday.
    I installed the driver, that software says I'm connected to our wireless network with good strength.
    I open Safari or Firefox, and those tell me "I'm not connected to the internet".
    The aggravating thing is a guy from work took it home, installed it, and everything worked fine.
    In Network Prefs, it sees the USB device, and all looks well.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Need another hard drive  - any suggestions on specs and setup?

    I started working with video in Premiere about a year ago - I have filled up 1 TB and I need to buy an external HD.  Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for what kind works good for editing?  Also I think I am supposed to set up so that PRE runs from 1 HD and all of my video is on the other, is that accurate?  I'm using PRE 8 and I have some projects that I want to stay intact when I make the switch.  In other words, if I reinstall PRE so that the video is captured to the new HD, how does this affect other projects where the program and all the data is on 1 HD?  Any help would be appreciated - Eric 

    For the smoothest and fastest Video-editing, being able to spread the I/O load over several HDD's, is really good.
    Externals can present some unique problems, but this ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail. Note: there are some users, who have had zero issues with USB 2.0 externals, but I, and many others, have observed some major issues. Those observations are reflected in the above linked article.
    The ultimate is probably a 3x internal I/O setup, with eSATA for the two additional HDD's is next best.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
