International WiFi access

While on a recent trip to Germany, I was unable to get WiFi access anywhere. I tried in several locations (Starbucks, McDonalds, Westin hotel, etc). In all cases, I would get a WiFi access page in Safari (mostly T-mobile), but was not able to log on, sign up for access, or click through on any link...just a static sign-on page. Nor was I able to access free WiFi anywhere.
Airplane mode was OFF. Data roaming was OFF to avoid AT&T data roaming fees. And I also restarted the phone to see if that would help. Phone worked fine for international calls.
I'm going to Amsterdam soon...any advice on WiFi access? I have had no problems with WiFi in the US (paid, free, or at home) and no other problems with phone. Would prefer not to take my MacBook just for e-mail and internet use. Thanks!

If you get a Wifi access page from T-Mobile, it means you have to log in using some kind of billing method. T-Mobile hotspots are only free for German iPhone users because they are T-Mobile customers.
Free Wifi hotspots are not as common as in the US, but they exist, like in cafes or restaurants. There's several websites that list free Wifi access points, better look them up before the trip!

Can an Aironet WiFi Access Point bridge multiple internal VLANs?

I have Cisco Aironet 2700e access points. Historically they were configured with a single SSID on both radios with WEP 128bit security.
I now need to add new WiFi devices to the network that have limited flexibility. They must be associated only with a specific radio (2.4ghz or 5ghz) and WPA2PSK security.
My thought was to create two additional SSIDs on the 2700 access points, one for 2.4gz WPA2PSK and the other for 5ghz WPA2PSK. The pre-existing SSID will continue to use 128bit WEP. To do that I need to use VLANs on the 2700e.
I have no other VLANS on my network. I only need VLANs on the 2700e because I have different physical devices that support different WiFi frequencies and security options. I don't need to segment the network.
How do I bridge the VLANs on the 2700e?
Devices that connect to the non-native VLANs appear to be isolated from the rest of the network (as I would suspect with VLANs). But that's not what I want . I'm only using VLANs because I need multiple SSIDs, and I need multiple SSIDs because I have different physical devices that want different WiFI access point configurations. I can't seem to find any way to configure the 2700e to bridge the VLANs for the multiple SSIDs.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I could buy additional access points but that seems to be defeating the purpose of having a device like the 2700e.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I made these changes to the example here:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/55561/multiple-ssid-multiple-vlans-configuration-example-cisco-aironet-aps
and it seems to be working. (By "working" I mean that I can now ping to/from devices connected on different SSIDs.) I had to make these changes from the CLI. There does not seem to be a way to make these changes from the GUI. Is that correct? If there is a way to make these changes from the GUI please let me know.
The changes I made were to make the sub interface for Dot11 radio 0 on the VLANs part of bridge-group 1. So assuming the config in the example:
ap(config)#interface Dot11Radio0.2
ap(config-subif)#no bridge-group 2
ap(config-subif)#bridge-group 1
ap(config-subif)#exit
ap(config)#interface Dot11Radio0.3
ap(config-subif)#no bridge-group 3
ap(config-subif)#bridge-group 1
ap(config-subif)#exit
I did not change the bridge group on the Ethernet interface.
Questions:
1. Did I create any new problems making this change? It seems to work, but am I going to get myself in trouble somewhere else? Intuitively it makes sense to me: the VLANs are now part of the same bridge group (1, the native VLAN). So all traffic should be bridged together. Correct?
2. I didn't change the Ethernet sub interfaces. I don't seem to need to make that change. I also don't like things sitting out there that I don't understand. Should I do anything to clean up the Ethernet interfaces?
3. The original configuration was made entirely from the GUI. This change needs to be made from the CLI. Can it be done from the GUI? I can't seem to find a way to change bridge groups for a sub interface from the GUI. It worried me that it can't be done from the GUI.
Thank you.

How-do-i-configure-guest-wifi-access-using-2504-wlc-fortigate-utm-l3-device

Dear All
I have a 2504 Wireless Controller with multiple radios attached. I currently have a "private" WLAN configured (taking ip from windows server based DHCP of Range 192.1681.0/24 ) and working, but I need to add a Guest/Public WLAN which should take the IP from Other DHCP Configured on Fortigate UTM of range 172.16.0.0/24.
We have one SG300 switch in the office and the rest are basic switches.
Our firewall/router is a Fortigate UTM 240D
Find the attached network diagram for the issue.
Is there a SIMPLE way to enabling guest access that doesn't require VLANS (or are VLANS easier than I'm making them)?
Thanks.

Communicate between 2 ipads over internal wifi only

Can I communicate between 2 ipads over internal wifi WITHOUT internet? They are on the same subnet and would have network access to each other, but it seems to IM or message between them it must go over the internet.

If you want to message between the two iPads, yes you must be connected to the Internet as the messages are transmitted via Apple Servers.

ISE - Restrict Full WiFi Access only to Authorized Devices

Hi All,
We have a WLC HA (Code 8.0.100.0) setup with an ISE pair (version 1.2) , and all that works fine.
Currently ISE is configured to authenticate users from AD. Our corporate SSID is setup with WPA2+AES with 802.1x PEAP authentication, so users can connect Wifi from their devices after they put in their AD credentials.
We would now want to Restrict our Internal network Access through WiFi only to Authorized Devices like company issued Laptops/Tablets etc. For all the other devices like Personal Smartphones/Tablets/Laptops users can only have Internet Access only if they are Authenticated/Authorized to do so.
For the Rest of the devices like Printers, Apple TV's etc we already have a separate SSID running on which we are doing Mac Filtering through WLC, so none of the browser less devices would be connecting to the Corporate SSID.
Assuming We have the Mac Addresses of all the company issued devices Laptops/Tablets (Most of which are Apple Devices), what is the best approach to go about this utilizing ISE.

Yes, I am evaluating MDM solutions too, but budget being a constraint I am not sure if that would be approved or not.
There is lack of free MDM solutions which can be integrated with ISE, I did found the Meraki's Systems Manager worth a shot, but I guess the free version does not integrates with ISE, unless you go for the Enterprise Version. There were a few Rumors that ISE 1.4 is coming up with inbuilt MDM.
For now I will go ahead and import the mac address database to ISE in an Identity Group called Corporate-Devices and will edit the auth profile to check for the Identity Group Along with AD.

Can't HP Officejet pro 8100 do wifi access point?

Yesterday my HP Officejet pro 8100 arrived and I try to connect via wifi. I thinked that It need a infrastructure access point to print via wifi.
When I powered on the printer I osserved that It create an access point autonomously with SSID: HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro, with IPv4 address server, etc...
I was very happy and I printed a page with my smartphone samsung s4 connected directly with printer access point (not wifi direct but standard wifi).
Today no changed occurred but I can't use printer with its own access point, but only with an external wifi access point.
Someone can help me, please? It could be an hardware problem?
Thanks,
Luca
P.S. in web server I checked that "access point connectivity" (Punto di accesso wireless connettività in Italian) is checked.
This question was solved.

Hello lucait
To print via WiFi you need to have a wireless router setup. Once you have the wireless router setup correctly you will have a SSID and Wepkey that will enable you to add devices to your network. The network will allow all your devices to communicate not just with each other but with the internet. At the moment your printer was not put in a network so instead of broadcasting on a network it is broadcasting on it's own network called HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro which is only good for a short period of time to allow you to setup your wireless. I am going to assume you have a wireless network and you are just needing assistance getting the printer setup on that network.
To set your printer up on a network you will need to reset your network defaults so your printer begins to broadcast that HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro network again. You can do this buy following the steps on the HP Support document Resetting the Network Settings. Once you have done this you can begin to install the software that came with your printer on your computer. You want to set the printer up wirelessly when the option arrives. The software should configure your printers wireless for you and put it on the network. Once completed you should be able to access your printer from all your devices as long as they are on the network.
I hope this helps resolve your wireless issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

How can I turn mac mini into wifi access point for iPhone?

Hi,
I do not have a wifi router.
I want my iPhone to be able to use my broadband internet instead of the slow EDGE internet.
The simple solution would be to buy a wifi router whih would enable my iPhone to access the wifi home network.
*What if I could turn the mac mini into a wifi access point?* That would save me from the hassle of buying a wifi router.
Any idea how to do this??
Message was edited by: d00by666

I did this.
I think I am doing something wrong. I am doing something wrong in this setting *from ethernet to airport*.
see attached screenshot.
To start Internet sharing on a computer using Mac OS X:
1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
2. Select how you would like to share your Internet connection, and then click Start. You
can choose to share your Internet connection with AirPort-enabled computers,
computers with built-in Ethernet, or both.
Note:
If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in
Ethernet, for example), contact your ISP before you turn on Internet sharing. In some
cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the
network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to
prevent you from disrupting its network.
3. If you want to share your Internet connection with computers using AirPort, click
AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.

I am deploying to Afghanistan and I will not have wifi access. I will have a hardline access to internet. How do I sync my apps, newsstand, etc without wifi connection?

About the only other way I can think of is to have a computer with you or use one there, if you can put iTunes on it and download all your new stuff to the computer, then sync your iPad to that computer.
In switching computers you will lose previous content, but, as I understand it anyway, downloaded content will be the same as long as the same apple ID is used.

A tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore)

Just bridge the TC and plug it by ethernet into the main router.
Bridge in v5 airport utility.
In v6 it is under network.. change it from DHCP and NAT to Off bridge mode.
Turn off the wireless.

I already have a WiFi access point. Can I still use a time capsule?

I already have a WiFi access point. Reading about the Time Capsule, it appears that it is also an access point. If so, ca I still use it in conjuction with my existing WiFi?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. With the Time Capsule, you can still use the network of your old router or you can use the network of the Time Capsule (I recommend you to use the network of the Time Capsule unless your router is much better). Note that the Time Capsule is a router with a hard drive inside, so it's normal that you can use it as a router

How does my wife access this with a different ID

How can my wife access iMatch using a different ID on her iPad? She is not able to get the music I have loaded in iCloud.

She doesn't. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is not sharable. It is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store account. To access your music your wife will have to sign into the iTunes Store with your account ID and stay signed in.
Also keep in mind that iTunes Match and iCloud are not the same thing. The two services are distinct services and one does not require the other.

How to delete wifi access point on E7 - mails won'...

I have E7 with symbian anna. A while ago I had to restart my home wifi (due to storm) and during that process a new wifi access point (wlan(01) was created on my phone. After that - as far as I have now understood - my phone stopped syncronising gmails altogether. Also in my provider's network (outside wifi, elisa). In order for my phone to sync emails, i need to reboot it (or just turn it off and on, no need to get the three vibrations when turning off).
Question 1) How do I delete this unncecssary wifi access point on E7? I was able to do it easily on my N900 but not on this E7.
Question 2) Is it likely that the reason my phone stopped syncin gmails is related to this wifi issue? Pressing send & receive won't help, either, nothing happens. I have had this E7 for 1.5 months now, Symbian Anna I've had for 10 days and this problem started 5 days ago. Before that the mails flew in very nicely.

To remove access poit, go to settings>connectivity>settings>Destination>Internet>long hold access point and select delete.
For Gmail, don't use it, but if you remove/delete mailbox and then set it up again it should work fine, also heard that during set up if you reject terms and conditions and set up manually it works better ?

Which model of AirPort base station do you have? Which version of OS X is your MacBook Pro running?
Wi-Fi access can be limited using the Timed Access feature of the AirPort routers. You would do so using the AirPort Utility.
