Internet question about getting FiOS

Hi,
I had a quick question,
When I get FiOS (haven't ordered yet), how would they make one of my desktops wireless? Do they supply a wireless adapter in the computer setup fee?
Thanks,
aj

well  i have a belkin n adapter and its my second one - it likes to cut my internet off so thats why i was wondering if verizon offered anything good!!!
That might (or might not) be the adapter's fault. Is this the only wireless attachment you currently have? Have you tried any other wireless device(s) and not had the problem? Do you have the latest drivers for the Belkin adapter? Have you tied changing the channel (lots of things can interfer with the signal, wireless phones are famous for that)? I had a Belkin USB wireless adapter on my wife's PC for a long time and it worked very well (it was a G adapter, not N).
Here is another thought: why do you use the desktop wirelessly? Is it in a room where you have a TV that is going to be using FiOS TV service? If so, you can go to eBay and buy a Motoroa NIM 100 and split the coax into two connections, TV on one, NIM on the other, and hook the PC to the NIM via Cat 5 or 6 cable and have a wired connection. I did that for my wife, works great (except I didn't need to buy the NIM, I already had it from my initial FiOS installation - Verizon no longer uses those, although I understand some techs still have them on their truck, if the idea works, you might ask). Just another option...

  • Question about get web service result in actionscript and convert data format

    Hi, All
    I have question about how to get dataset from web services
    and put it in tree structure. I have 2 questions about this:
    1, How can I get data correctly in actionscript?
    I have no problem to get data by
    <mx:ArrayCollection id="acFolder"
    source="{mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(MyGServices.getFolder.lastResult)}"
    />
    And display in datagrid.
    But when I try to use
    public function
    handleFolderContents(event:mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent):void{
    arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.result);
    acData=new ArrayCollection(arData);
    input.text=acData.getItemAt(0).id;
    Seems I can’t get data, it always say:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
    a null object reference.
    2, how to convert data format
    I get data from web service and want to convert it to tree
    structure, as mention below:
    I get:
    <Array>
    <id>111</id>
    <Name>Production1</Name>
    </Array>
    <Array>
    <id>222</id>
    <Name>Production2</Name>
    </Array>
    Convert to:
    <mx:XMLList id="treeData">
    <node>
    <node label="Production1" data="111">
    <node label="Production2" data="222"/>
    </node>
    </node>
    </mx:XMLList>
    Please help me.
    Thanks.

    First, don't specify the package path in the argument
    declaration. Instead import the event object:
    import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
    The docs state this emphatically.
    Second, try "lastResult", in place of "result":
    arData=mx.utils.ArrayUtil.toArray(event.lastResult); // I am
    not positive about this. I maybe recall reading that result was ok
    for the event object, but maybe not.
    Finally, why do you want to convert the xml? You certainly
    could, but it would be a manual process, recursively reading the
    existing xml nodes and building the new structure, but again, why?
    Just use a labelFunction if necessary to display the nodes as
    you wish.

  • A few questions about getting DSL

       Hi, my home has been out of range for DSL and we've been patiently waiting for years for the day to come when it's available, but it doesnt look like it'll be happening soon. We have a small business we run out of the house and have been paying a fortune a month for those mobile cellular internet cards (a little faster than dial-up) and figured we'd save money eventually if we could just pay verizon engineers to run another base station or repeater to extend the line to reach us.
       My question is would this even be possible, and if so how much do you think it would cost, just an estimate, our neighbors about a mile away (through the power lines) have it. We've pretty much exhausted all other options and need high speed for our growing business.
    Thanks

    Many years ago, engineers finally got the attention of top management.  3G cell phone now do more than copper land lines.  That created enough panic among bean counters to finally let them install FIOS.  Copper is now dying.  Anything in copper that might become available is only because it always existed.  Your only upgrade is now FIOS.
      Meanwhile, competition also exists.  For example, internet via Direct TV.  Also coming is Wi-Max.  Intel has been at this for about ten years.  So it should be coming soon.  Wi-Max is WiFi but in a wider radius.  Whereas WiFi may be 300 feet; Wi-Max is in the entire mobile phone cell.
      Typical reason for no DSL is a wire that is too long.  However some better radio transceivers (DSL is radio wave communication) have made a minor increase in DSL's range.  Have you checked the availability of that new option?

  • Question about getting 4S camera fixed at Apple Store.

    Hi everybody,
        My wife got an iPhone 4S from Walmart in May of 2012.  It had been working great, then 3 weeks ago at the St. Louis zoo her camera shutter wouldn't open.  The camera app would open but the shutter would just stay closed.  I tried the "hold your finger over the camera" trick, and it worked!  For about 5 minutes...then it stopped.  Then I read about the "hold sleep and home till it turns off and then hold home"...again it worked! For about 5 minutes then stopped.  Updating to ios 6 let the camera work for about a day, then it stopped again.  Sooooo...
       We live about 2 hours from St. Louis and Louisville (nearest Apple Stores).  We are thinking about making a day trip to Louisville to get her phone fixed but I had a couple of questions.
    1) Will they repair/repalce iPhone without a receipt from Walmart, but have the original box?  Also, I could pull up ATT statements if needed.
    2) What happens if we get there and the camera happens to work?  (It will work OCCASIONALLY) Did we just waste a trip or will they believe that there was an issue?
    3) If they will agree to fix/repace, what will they do?  Just give her a refurbished iPhone 4S or try to fix it there?  I don't care which, but if they have to send it off then we can just do it from our house.  But my wife doesn't want to start with that option because she doesn't want to be without her phone and doesn't trust the "process". lol....
    4) oh one more....do I need to call the store or setup something with Apple before I get there? Or can we just bust right up in the store?
    Any thoughts/suggestions/experience/strength/hope ?
    Thanks and God Bless!!

    Thank you!!  Dang...yeah, I will call and see what they say.  I understand about the thefts and such.  I hate that we lost the receipt.  Hopefully there is a way we can track proof of purchase.  I was going to say that if we did it next weekend then it would still be less than a year old, but you threw the curveball at me about the stolen iphones.  Check out the guy that just posted that he "wants to buy a stolen iphone"...dumbest post I've ever seen...
    Anyway, thank you and have a blessed day!
    haha, just caught the "Murphy" comment!  Never really thought too much about Murphys law until I started listening to Dave Ramsey, but now I know that Murphy and I have been tight before!! ....defending against Murphy showing up would be calling ahead like you said and being prepared!  Not just hauling tail over to Louisville and scream when they say "NO"....haha

  • Need to ask a question about getting the iPhone 5 without an upgrade available.

    Alright so I have currently an iPhone 4S and do NOT have an upgrade available. My question is how do i go about buying the 5 then? From what I know, Apple sells "unlocked" phones at around $750 (I want the 32gig version) but wont come out on launch day. Is there a Verizon specific phone that I can get instead of an "unlocked" phone that would cost cheaper and I can get it on launch day? Or do I have to preorder it through verizon's website?
    Another thing is...is there certain fee's that I would have to pay to go along with the phone if I can buy it?

    Pernoe: I'm no expert, but this is the way I understand unlocked phones. Unlocked phones that use GSM technology can work on either T-Mobile or AT&T networks. Unlocked phones that use CDMA technology can work on either Sprint or Verizon networks. I can't tell you the difference between GSM and CDMA... I just don't really know what it is, just that AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM and Sprint and Verizon use CDMA.
    That being said, I purchased (or at least ordered... my credit card has not been charged yet) 2 iPhone 5's from Verizon and opted to pay full price instead of taking the contract discount. You don't need to buy an unlocked phone to pay full price. You just have to select "month-to-month" pricing instead of "2 year contract" pricing when you buy the phone.

  • A few questions about ordering FIOS

    I was told by the workers from Verizon that I need to fax my passport in order to set up an installation date. Is there any other way to deal with this online or do I really have to go to a Verizon Wireless store to set up an installation date for FIOS?

    A passport is only warranted when trying to establish "citizenship".  Verizon has customers that are not US citizens.  Those who are US, establish identity or credit by social security numbers.  If you are Canadian or another visiting National, the passport would be requested.  Once your status is verified, you should have no problems.
    I use all their services and get great customer service if I run into problems.  If you run into issues, keep calling.

  • Few questions about getting rid of unwanted items

    OK, i should have done this from the start but I didn't do a fresh install of my OS to get rid of language support, etc....now I am into using my blackbook and have all my camino and safari bookmarks, etc the way I like it.....is there a way to save these preferences on an external HD and do a clean install of OS? If this is possible it is the method I prefer.
    OR
    Should I just remove what I don't want manually instead? does monolingual work with intel macbooks? do I just trash printer prefs into the trash? How do I make sure my officetrial also gets rid of the 'files' hanging around? (i read a post where someone trahsed MS office and still had files haning around)...
    Basically if I stay away from my 'users/library' folder I will be safe? I can trash applications that don't want and be safe?
    thanks all

    Here is what about monolingual:
    Monolingual is a program that can remove other languages that installed by default by OS X installer that you don't want or use. It also offer to trim down the Input Menu and Architecture.
    http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/
    Here is the tips:
    1. Since you only run this once, you can run it directly from virtual drive that mounted after you download the .dmg file by simply double click on its icon.
    2. Uncheck the language you want to keep, for I uncheck English, British English and US English to keep.
    3. Never play with the input menu for it is not worth of the space you save comparing to the risk you will lost control to your keyboard and have to re-install OS X from the scratch.
    4. Never remove and play with architecture option as well for the space is also not worth, and you might lose rosetta ability to run non universal programs.
    Good Luck.

  • Question about getting mp3s

    Hello everyone
    Im sure this question has probably come up a lot around here, but are there any other REALLY GOOD services besides itunes to download mp3s? As you know itunes doesnt exactly have every album that you look for. Thanks
    Sal

    Hello djmills,
    With deals as good as the one you wrote about, a lot of orders usually will follow and can sometimes create constraints on the inventory. However, I am sorry you were unable to receive this item in time to gift it to the intended recipient; resulting in you canceling that item off your order and returning the other to the store.
    If you return an item bought as part of a bundle or with a promotional discount and you do not return everything, we should reimburse you for what you do return, minus the value of the discount or freebie. This means, your Arrow Season 2 would likely have returned to the price before the bundle discount was applied as it was no longer associated with Season 1 after its cancellation.
    Using your email address you supplied here on the forums, it appears you were able to receive assistance with this after emailing into the address you listed. Should you still need assistance with this, please let me know.
    Thank you for your business,

  • Several questions about getting a new PowerBook

    Since I have really limited credit limit, I am wondering whether the online store will charge you through the credit card you provide? Do I have any other choices, such as bank card or cheque?
    The second question: Is there any special procedure to go through before you can get the student discount?
    The third: Which softwares are essential for student's daily and school tasks that are not provided with the new PowerBook? And what do they do? If you can explain them as their counterparts for PC, that's really appreciated.

    Here is a list of payments the Apple Store accepts.
    You can get to the Educational version of the Apple Store here.
    Well, there's Microsoft Office for Mac, of course. Although AppleWorks may be an acceptable alternative. It supports word-processing, spreadsheets and databases, although it appears to be being phased out. Pages is a newer word processing app that works well with Word documents.

  • Question about "Get Web Drawing URL and Page Name From" for Visio Web Access

    I am trying to get both the web drawing URL and the page name from a list through Share Point Designer 2013, but it doesn´t work.
    It looks fine when a do the web part connection wizard. I select from which columns to get the URL and the page name. But on the final web part page nothing happens. It just shows the URL that is selected in the Visio Web Access Web part. I had hoped that
    that value should be overrided by the SPD-settings.
    I have googled for hours..

    Hello,
    I have now saved the Visio-file in .vdw-format, but it says Visio 2010 Web Drawing (*.vdw). Is there a .vdw-format for 2013? Isn´t that the .vsdx-format?
    Still doesn´t work with the .vdw-format, but maybe I am doing something wrong.
    Any ideas?

  • Iphone stolen - question about getting new one

    Heeelp! Pleeease?
    I had only just gotten my 8 gb iphone 3G for my birthday in August 08. (Last summer.) I got a two year contract with AT&T at that time. Then at the beginning of this year - in the end of Feb 09 - a punk on the train stole my iphone. : ( I wanted to get a new one but Apple said I had to pay full price $399 instead of the $199 my friends paid for the first one, because my contract was not up. Does anyone know if this still applies if I want to buy the 3G S now? Will I have to pay full price or can I get it for the going price - which I think is $199??? Correct?
    I miss my iphone so much. : (

    No one here can say. The only way to find out is - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

  • Question about getting Iphone 4

    Tomorrow my wife was going to go down and try to get us the new Iphone 4's. I'm not sure if the account is under just my name or not. If it is it's only because I was the one that picked up the phones last year. All our cards, bank accounts are shared. Is she going to be ok picking the phones up for our account of course if were lucky to get them? I only ask because I've seen posts were kids ask if they can pick it up on there parents account. I don't want her wasting her time. I can not go because of work. Thank you

    You need to authorize her on the account. It can probably be done over the phone. Once she is an authorized user, she can buy/exchange phones, make changes and so on.
    I got this info from my local AT&T store. I'm in a similar situation: my husband is out of state for work and I'll be dealing with the iphone swap @ AT&T; he will even mail me his phone so I can return it when we get the new ones.

  • TextArea question about getting results from actionscript

    Hey guys,
    I have got this TextArea in main.mxml and I have another class which is data.as. I have calculated a result at data.as and want to show the result over at the TextArea in main.mxml in a way that, when a new result is calculated, it will override the current text in the TextArea.
    How do I go about doing it?    

    Okie, so does that mean that lets say my data.as trigger some mouse event
    clicked, which will alter the public variable result string, the textarea
    over at main.mxml will change too? As in keep changing whenever the trigger
    of any mouse event clicked?
    Yes. Create that variable as static like,
    public static var data_result:String;

    so u can easily call any where in your application using class name like
