Mobile wifi router - ways to connect

Hi I am going to Jamaica and will be in the rural area I want to bring my iPad2 and need a mobile wifi router to ensure i have internet access. Any suggestions?

Check with the cell providers in Jamaica to see what mifi devices and plans they offer. Then connect your iPad using wifi to the "mobile router" (mifi), which is connected to the cell provider's 3G/4G network.

Try rebooting the router. Just remove the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost.

Yes, configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless network using the exact same wireless network name and password as the Linksys wireless network.

Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget.

Is there any way to connect a Kindle 3G wifi to apple router

Is there a way to connect Kindle 3g wireless ot Airport Extreme?

There has been a lot of posts on the amazon forums from various people alleging the kindle does not connect properly to an airport base station. If this ever happens you can always run airport utility to get the " equivalent network password " and type that into the kindle.
Run airport utility
Double click on the airport on the left side
At the very top of your display click on base station
Click on equivalent network password
Type the WPA Pre-Shared Key into the kindle 3 instead of your regular wifi password

I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

LOL!!
I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
But please note the end result of this setup..
very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

Hi,
I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share. So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
Cheers
Kathy

Same trouble here, iPad 2 with latest OS and remote app, iPod with latest OS and app.

Retina macbook pro can't auto connect to wifi after wifi router rebooted

My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted. There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connects. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. In order to use wifi, I had to click off wifi, and then click on. The previous version, Macbook pro, has no problem like this. I had deleted all files under wifi library, but still fail. Appreciating for any way to solve it!

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

Connecting T5 to Netgear WiFi router

I have been trying to connect my T5 using the Palm WiFi card to my Netgear DG834G ADSL WiFi router and have read the very helpful check list provided on your site as well as the other correspondence. I started with the usual problem of the thing disconnecting after trying to download the IP and worked up to manual entry of IPs and DNSs etc.
So far I have :-
Found the T5 MAC and entered it as a trusted device in the router.
From the router itself I have found :-
The two DNS values (these are for the ADSL port?)
The hex 128 bit Key (all 4 are the same) and checked it against a separate key generator using the phrase I entered when I set the router up with the P.C.
The following IP address information:- For the ADSL port:- the IP address and it’s mask, network type (PPPoa), the IP address for the gateway and the two DNS values. I have also found the IP address for the router LAN port.
Loading these in various combinations into the T5 setup in manual causes the unit to seem to log on and display the field strength. But Blazer etc does not work. If I change the WEP key to make it wrong it logs on in the same way, which is very suspicious!
I have managed to get the T5 to download the IP address in auto (after setting it as a trusted device in the router) by switching to ad-hoc and it returns a message saying that it has "connected". Checking the network "info" in prefs/WiFi then shows an IP not found in the router information with it’s mask. However, no DNS info or IP address in the line called "Router" shows up and although the response from Blazer is different (quick connect and URL rejection), nothing works. Manually entering the DNSs with auto IP recovery in ad-hac did not change anything.
I have been through entering the WEP key in hex etc.
Of all the IP address information available, which ones should be entered in the three fields required on the T5? The DNS values relate to the ADSL port. Is this OK.
I would welcome any suggestions. I have yet to try it at a remote site, but I am sure the basic kit is OK, just finger trouble !!!
Thanks in advance

Russel, you haven't mentioned if you have the router's comm. speed set to be compatible with an 802.11/b device.
Do you have this setting correct?

Connecting fiber modem to wifi router

I am usually pretty savvy with networking but this one really has got me. I have searched all over teh Intarwebs with no success solving it. I need the help of my fellow Mac-o-philes.
Basically, here's the issue. I'm in Mexico, and I want to set up a VPN (specifically HideMyAss, HMA) so that I can use my Roku and generally stream things from the United States.
TELMEX has given me a Alcatel-Lucent I-240w-q router which connects to the fiber line they have run to my house.
Separately, I bought a ASUS RT-N16 wifi router because that is the one that HMA says can be programmed to be the central "tunnel" into their VPN. I upgraded the RT-N16 firmware to DD-WRT's most recent build.
I have access to the config sections of both routers so I can modify their settings at will.
So what I need to do is connect the Alcatel router to the Asus router in such a way as I can use the Asus router as the primary access to the Internet (I wanted to set this up BEFORE I get the HMA subscription so that I could confirm it worked before I shell out for HMA).
I would deeply appreciate any assistance at all in setting things up so it goes through.

Really, nobody?

I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Can anyone help me out?

Macbook pro fails to auto connect Internet after rebooting wifi router

My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted.
There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As the picture shows, when I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connection. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. Moreover, in preference set, it shows a confused self-assigned IP address 169.254…(showed in picture). In order to use wifi, I had to turn wifi off, and then turn it on. And the correct IP address for my mac should be 192… (showed in picture).
I had tried to delete my preferred networks and tested macbook in my friend’s home, but it still failed. This bug happens in my friend’s macbook pro with retina (same to mine) and macbook air. However, the previous version, Macbook pro (not retina), has no this problem.
This happened just when I reboot the router. It is normal working (connect automatically) when I come back home. Appreciating for any way to solve it!

I have no clue of what an Airport antenna is either. I know my Airport Extreme does not have one.
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

HT204400 Apple TV unable to connect to the WiFi Router solution.

Having found my new Apple TV unable to connect to my WiFi Router I discovered a technique which may be useful to others. Use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot instead. I hope this helps other people with a similar connectivity issue.

Hi, i do have a similar situation. Everytime I try to synchronise itunes with my ATV (also version 2.3), it synchronise between 4 and 10 songs and then automatically disconnect the wireless connection on my computer (my ibook and other notebook stays connected at the same time). regards, Erik

Well I bought a WiFi router. How to connect old Macs and other things??

Hi,
I purchased a WiFi router mainly for my PSP but I also want to connect my Macs wirelessly to my router. What older Macs can connect to it and how? What other stuff can connect to it?
Thanks

In about an hour AR is going to start complaining about the cost being too high and wanting cheaper alternatives. The solution to each situation exceeds the value of the computers themselves. Don't bother asking if there is another less expensive way to do it because there is not.
Expect to pay at least $50 for one.
For the 8600 there's also a Belkin USB adapter that has OS 9 drivers and I believe there are PCI card wireless adapters that work under OS9 as well (although I can't recall which ones).
*Proxim Skyline PCI wireless card, that is what WAS sold and worked in 8.6-9.x - they are no longer made and the company was taken over by a larger one that stopped all Mac related support so no new drivers were made.
*Belkin has drivers for the F5D6050 USB device. They are OK, but not as reliable as one would want. Relative to each other the OSX drivers are better than the OS9 ones.
*Smart money would buy a wireless bridge.
