Internet Share - Can it share WiFi internet rather...

Hi, I have the Nokia Lumia 800
Can I recieve Wifi internet and then "Internet Share" it to 2 Laptops?
Reason why is that I am at a motel & I'm wanting to use my phone to allow 2 laptops to access the 1 internet connection.
Only 1 Device may access the connection
Or is it only able to Internet Share Mobile Data?
Thanks Daniel

@cjlim,
As the guy said only one device be it laptop/smartphone/tablet allowed for every guest in hotel. allowed. Even if you didn't told them, they can do that thru mac address filtering. Having lots of device accessing a Wifi Hotspot degrade speeds. It also deter those who just loiter hotels just to gain free internet. In some small hotels, where there is no IT person to do the job, one can connect as much devices as one have once he gets the password.
Ahh! I see. I have personally never come across this in any of the hotels I have stayed in. Mac filtering would be difficult to implement because it would be impossible to exactly pinpoint the exact location of every signal down to the nearest room, unless they are every guest to register a mac address. Perhaps then a bit of mac cloning might to the job.
Anyway, still of the opinion that a second set of transceivers and antennas would probably not fit in the current sized package which will render it unfeasible since most users do not require this feature. It would have to be the size of a typical router/repeater. Would make more sense to have it in the laptops where there is more space available. Don't think I have come across any laptops with double radios either.

How can I share wifi through my mac using WEP but not WAP?

I wanna share wifi using my mac book pro but so that I can use my ndsl. However it only accept WEP but not WAP. How can I change my sharing?

Hello stoneohyea
Check out the articles below. You should not select WEP as it is a protocol that is not recommended for wireless connection because of reliability and security.

I can't download OS5 or, rather, iTunes does download it about 450 mb and then, a few seconds after it starts processing the file, I get the message that I am timed out and am recommended to check my internet connection. I am using 3g to download it.

I don't know which country you're in, but in the US, carriers limit the amount of download for a single file when using 3G. Have you tried wifi?

Can't share wifi from my phone

I want to share wifi from my phone but when I turn on wifi hotspot it turns off wifi also i want to know how to use panorama

You can't do that, you either have wifi on or tether your data (network) connection

We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone. If it's already unlocked skip to step 2. This works and will work even if you update the phone.
1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
Everything should work flawlessly at this point. If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

Share wifi connection

When I sharing my wifi connection with the macbookAir all the other devices are able to see and connect in it but no one is able to surf in internet.
The macbookAir surf in internet without problems. It is on line with a usb stick from the brand "huawei".
This problem appen from 3 weeks ago but before was fine.
I didn't change anything.
Do you have some ideas how I can fix this problem?
Tks

Later edit: I've managed to share WiFi through Bluetooth. Still this is annoying as I can pair only one device at a time and reset all the thing when I need to swich to another device... So I can connect my iPad, but when I want to switch to my Blackberry or iPhone I need to unpair the whole thing etc etc..
So ideal for me would be the option to transform the Mac into a WiFi repeater rather than a Wifi-over-Bluetooth solution.

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?

Can't connect wifi in my iPhone

Can't connect wifi in my iPhone after done reset network setting.......

You need to go through the steps of configuring your Mac to share its internet connection with other devices again.
1. In Sys Prefs/Sharing highlight Internet Sharing (do not check the box)
2. Share your connection from: Ethernet (from the dropdown menu)
3. To computers using: AirPort (check the little box)
4. Press the button AirPort Options...
5. Name your Network
6. Use Automatic or select the channel
7. Select the level of encryption.
a. For a non-Apple device you must use only a 5 alphanumeric character, 40-bit WEP password
b. Or a 13 alphanumeric character 128-bit WEP password
8. Press OK
9. Check the box for Internet Sharing
10. Answer any dialog boxes that pop up

Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S. Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer. It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced. NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey). I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up). I can only access internet via the phone through the USB. This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
Any recommendations on how to recify? I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library... and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

I can't reach wifi but i see it in my ipad

how to reach my wifi in house with my ipad.
since 6 month no probleme.
today no wifi.
i can see the wifi in my i pad but impossible to plug it in.
signal is there
signal is full 3 bar

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I5 can not connect wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2

i5 can not connect to my laptop share-wifi after upgraded to IOS 6.1.2, while it's ok before upgrade. How can I solve it?

FIXED!!!!
I have iPhone 4s running 6.1.2 Everything worked great before the lovely update. My wifi did the same thing that everyone else's seems to be doing. It would not recognize my home router.
Evidently, in the update, Apple changed how the "Ask to Join Networks" button operates. Previously, I didn't have to have the button toggled to on, my phone would just automatically lock onto my router. I have fought and fought with this update. I have done several "network settings resets". I have even restored my phone twice. I have tried every crackpot, and not so crackpot, suggestion on these forums and NOTHING has worked. I could go to settings and connect to the router each time I used the phone, but it would only stay connected for a few minutes.
Today, I toggled the "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on", then opened Safari. My phone then asked if I wanted to join the network, I responded with "join". My phone has been on wifi all day! I left home and came back several hours later, and FINALLY... my phone locks on automatically.
Go to settings>, Wi-Fi>, toggle "Ask to Join Networks" button to "on". Then click on your router/network in the list.
I realize that everyone's problems are not the exact problems I had, but maybe this will help some of you having problems.
Good Luck!

Can i block Wifi when my iphone is stolen?

My iphone was stolen a few weeks back and i phoned my provider and blocked the sim and reported the IMEI number to them.
I've only just found it doesn't block wifi. This means they could be using the internet and downloading apps to my phone using an itunes account.
Id there anyway, i can block the wifi remotely? I dont want my phone being used at all by anyone. I used to have Icloud installed so i could track my phone but it's not there anymore. What can i do?

I need to block the wifi so no-one can use it.
