Need to add hidden WiFi Networks manually from code in Windows Phone8

Hi Guys,
Dear tech team experts can you please help me over this?
I am working on a automation part in Windows Phone 8 applications. I want to verify my WiFi settings through an automated script. What I actually supposed to do was , I have to add a hidden WiFi network through code C# and enter the credentials
and then have to verify the connected network. Is there any provisions available in Windows Phone 8 to do such a task. In Android we have implemented the same scenario as I explained above. Want to know whether I can achieve my scenario in windows phone also.
Regards,
Ganesan S

Hi Mawy - WP8 does not have any APIs that allow the app to connect to WiFi, whether visible or hidden. These operations are reserved specifically for the OS and the user must interact with the phone.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined

I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

I have an AirPort Extreme time capsule . I need to extend my wifi network range. Which devise is better ?? Airport express or AirPort Extreme ??

Since you have the new Time Capsule, then you will need a new AirPort Extreme to match the performance capabilities of the Time Capsule.
If best quality is preferred, you will need to connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme using a wired Ethernet connection between the devices. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can locate the AirPort Extreme exactly where it is needed...and there will be no loss of signal through the Ethernet cable.
A wireless connection will result in a significant drop in performance, but it might be OK for your uses, if you want to try it that way first to see if the performance is acceptable.
It is really important that the AirPort Extreme be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
A line-of-sight relationship between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme would be the goal, with the AirPort Extreme located about half way between the Time Capsule and the general area where you need more wireless signal coverage.

WP 8.1 - limited number of hidden wifi networks

Hi,
I just found that (Lumia 630, latest dev. update) cannot accept more than THREE hidden wifi networks. Is this "feature" described somehow officially somewhere? Can it be increased? Or am I wrong?
Thanks
Miroslav

Hidden WiFi networks increase battery usage as the device is constantly trying to call out for that network when not connected to one no matter where you are. Hidden networks are a false sense of security.
So for the sake of battery, the phone limits the number of hidden networks you can store.

My iphone 5 will non find wifi networks away from home after ios upgrade

ios 7.0.2 does not find wifi networks away from my home network

the most popular "solution" is to overheat your iphone for about 10 minutes and then to cool it in the fridge however, i heard that this harms your phone as well

Just bought new time capsule- need help setting up WiFi network with another router

Here ismy situation.
I had a wireless network setup up at home using a Belkin wifi router.
I have 2 macBooks (1 pro, 1 air) and 2 iphones that connect wirelessly and a desktop PC that is hard wired to the ethernet port. In addition, I have a Verizon wireless network extender plugged in by ethernet. All of the hard-wired gear is in our 3rd floor attic office (and the wireless signal was strong throughout the house).
The Belkin wifi router was plugged into a wall ethernet jack that is in turn wired into a Linksys router in the basement (along with multiple other ethernet ports througout the house) and is hardwired to the Cable modem next to it. All of the hard-wired ethernet stuff (including the router in the basement) was there when we bought the house, and I have no clue in the tangle of wires how to sort them out (but don't really think I need to)
I just purchased a TimeCapsule to do wireless backups of my 2 macbooks, and tried to set it up alongside the existing wireless modem.
Needless to say, this did not work well. I called AppleCare, and was told that the TimeCapsule needs to be the "1st" wireless adapter, so I went into the basement, and connected the time capsule directly to the cable modem, and then out to the basement router. The Belkin router still needs to be in the attic to supply the PC and the Verizon adapter (so it is near a window for GPS signal).
If I try to name the WiFi network the same SSID on both the TC and the belkin router (to have dual signal strenth coverage) the whole thing gets messed up and the TC cannot be "found" by the aiprort Utility software.
What I have done now is that I have 2 side-by-side wireless networks with 2 unique names (actually 3, because I enabled the 5Ghz signal on the TC), but our wireless devices do not "switch" automatically from one SSID to another stronger signal SSID as we move through the house
Here's the question: How do I name them the same so that the devices will switch effortlessly to the stongest signal? I understand it involves switching the "channels" but don't know how to do it right now. Currently, everything works, so I don't want to mess it up tinkering. Another caveat- there are several other wireless networks from neighbors houses that I can "see". I jsut downloaded a program called iStumbler that shows the channels, but not sure what to do with that info.
Any advice would be appreciated.

OK.. sounds like a mess.. or at least messy and the previous people should have left a log book with all the IP address info in it.. you have far too many routers.. but from here it is impossible to tell how they are configured. Most are probably just setup as AP.
Naming rule for wireless.. Same SSID same security different channel.
SSID ie wireless name to work on the PC side should have no spaces and no special characters. TC name should also follow that rule. So the devices need to all set with fixed channels.
Don't worry too much about iStumbler and what is outside your house.. there isn't enough channels at 2.4ghz anyway. And you are going to need to use them all. There are only three non-overlapping channels. 1, 6, 11 so set each device to one of those channels. The TC should be as close as you can to where you normally use the MacBooks.. and turn on the 5ghz. You will have to leave it to automatic name so the Macbook can also roam across from 2.4 to 5ghz. But if you care to use a different name and force it onto 5ghz the speed is much better as long as you are in the same room.
Roaming is great in theory.. often in practice it just doesn't work.. you need to step in and turn off wireless and then turn it back on.. you can quickly see which router it is connecting to by hold down the option key when you click the airport fan in the top menu area.. and look at bssid.. you will have to figure out which number MAC address relates to which router.
Also do not be surprised if Lion gives you issues. It seems to often drop out and lose connection to the TC as a backup device even if internet is still working.

Can I add a wifi network that is out of range - ipad 3 latest ios

We bought an iPad for a relative for Christmas. We expect that it will be used lightly, mostly emails and games, as the user is not very "technically minded".
The iPad links up fine to our wifi but before she returns home I wanted to set up her iPad so that it will connect automatically to her own wifi when she gets home. I wasnt expecting to actually connect to it of course as it's miles away, but I was hoping to get the details into the iPad so that when she is in range it will link up.
I have the details/password etc of her wifi network but when i enter the details I cannot store them on the iPad. It says"Could not find the network xxxxxxxx". There is no option to store the details. You have to 'dismiss' out of them.
Does anyone know a way that I can add an out of range wifi network?
I suspect I am wanting the impossible! Any help is very welcome. Thank you.

Needing to rename my wifi network and password using Panther

My computer just broke down, and a friend gave me their old macbook. Because they did not have their installation cd, there's a limited amount of things I can do to reset the system using my information, but I at least want to reset my wifi network name and password. I'm not incredibly tech-savvy, so I was hoping to have help with this! My friend never upgraded from Panther (**** them!), so I'm having trouble finding information on this elsewhere. Please help!

Resetting a wifi network name and password requires you to change those settings on the wireless router itself. The OS the computer is running makes no difference.

How do I remove a wifi network account from iMac? Or how do I encrpyt an open wifi network account to make it secure?

Somehow a wifi network connection has been created either on my airport router or iMac or iPad which is non secured, I.e. Open. I cannot workout how to delete it or make it a secure connection. My concern is that other users may able to access my computers via this open wifi connection.
What can I do to correct this?

click on the wifi icon and go all the way down to network preference click and open it once you on network window on the bottom right there is a advance icon click that then you should be able to delete all the network that your mac is remember.
hope this is help.

Mapping Network Drives From Mac to Windows

I'm wondering if anyone else has had any success with this. I am mapping a network drive from my Mac to my PC (Windows 7). I moved all of my photos to the Mac so I want my laptop to look there for the files. I have no problem with other PC's in the house but when I try to map to the Mac I receive the following error:
"The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please enter another."
I copy and paste the address into Windows Explorer and it opens no problem. I click start and paste it into the search area, same thing, no problem. Any ideas?

If you search within this forum (search block, upper right), you will see that PAHU has answered this several times. For example, search for "UFRII windows."
Printing on OS X isn't quite as simple as on Windows - quite often, manufacturers provide drivers that are limited to the comm protocol "they want you to use," and Windows Printing (SMB) is usually not one of those. In fact, most USB printers get USB-only drivers.

Trouble connecting to a hidden WiFi network

My MacBook (MB470) fails to connect to network with hidden SSID. There are three things that make me think that there's something wrong with adapter's firmware or another hardware problem.
1) Other PCs and iPhones connect to that hotspot successfully (Trendnet);
2) Macbook doesn't connect even from WinXP SP2 (it doesn't see the network).
3) My MacBook perfectly works with my hidden hotspot at home which use much more secure features (D-Link 2640 ADSL WiFi hotspot);
Have anybody seen something like that?

Yes, all settings are correct. I spent more than two hours trying different hotspot and MacBook configurations, but the only thing I found out is that MacBook fails to connect when network SSID is hidden.
As soon as we unhide SSID Macbook connects and work perfectly.
By the way, my colleague told me he also failed to configure his HP laptop running Vista with that hotspot. Although there are 20-30 laptops and iPhones that work normally in that network and we never experienced any troubles setting them up.
No, OSX doesn't provide any details except "Connection timeout" message.

I cannot add or delete music manually from my iphone

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Trying to access Mac networked printer from laptop with Windows XP

Hi
I'm stuck: I have printer sharing enabled on my G5, printer is connected to my router; from system pref/print & fax/ my URL for the printer is as follows:
mdns://myprinter+serial#.printer.tcp.local.
Windows wants this format
http://printservername/Printers/sharename/.printer
I've tried any number of permutations, and can't get the printer to show up in the printer wizard. I installed the software/drivers in the PC for the specific printer.
I'm just not a PC user, and can't figure this out!

Find the IP address of the mac in Network Prefs.
Find the Mac's queue name for that printer in Print & Fax > highlight printer > Get Info (Show Info).
On the PC, add new printer, and add the printer exactly as you were trying, filling in IP address for "printserver_name" and queue name for "share_name." Don't need the "/.printer" part. For driver, you'll need to choose a postscript printer model driver, even if that printer isn't a postscript one. The Mac will translate the postscript to the printer's language. Apple Color Laserwriter xx/xx worked well for me.

Wireless network printing from macbook to windows XP

We have a wireless router (netgear) setup with 3 XP computers. A canon i900d printer is directly connected to the main computer. All computers share the internet and printer perfectly. I have the macbook recognizing the network and sharing the internet. And after two days of reading these forums and making changes I finally got the macbook to recognize the computer on the network that has the printer. I still can't get the macbook to show my true printer model and had to choose one of the ?gimp-print? models.The macbook prints but......
Now the problem is the pages print to about 1/4 scale.
I checked the preferences and they are set to 100%.
I downloaded the driver directly from canons website.
What now???

Well, i have seem to isolated the issue..I can't find the EXACT gutenprint driver for the printer. It's not listed in the driver drop down list..With my printer at home that wirelessly prints fine to my xp computer, i have the exact driver listed and installed. What really drives me crazy, is that this printer is fully supported by leopard if its plugged into the USB port! It detects and prints perfectly..but there just isnt a supported driver to print from the mac over the wireless network to the xp PC.. From my searching, there may be a way to use another 3rd party driver using ghostscript, but all this mac stuff is new to me, so it's a bit beyond my mac skills for now...

Need to Re-activate CS4 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit)

I have a laptop running Vista 32-bit with Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 installed. I'm planning to upgrade the computer from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit, upgrading in place to avoid having to reformat and reinstall all the software. Will Photoshop still be activated after the upgrade or will I need to re-activate it? If I need to reactivate, will the OS change make the activation process think the software has been moved to a new computer? It is currently activated on two machines (one of which is this laptop) as it is and don't want the activation wizard to think I'm putting it on third machine in violation of the license. Should I de-activate it before upgrading the OS and then re-activate once the system upgrade is complete? After the OS change I plan to upgrade the Adobe software to Lightroom 3 and PS CS5 - does the activation of CS4 even matter in that case? Anyone done a Vista->Win7 upgrade in place and offer any suggestions?

You are a brave man indeed, John.
An in-place upgrade is still a bad idea though.

Network printing from my new windows pc using a HP 710 attached to a networked Vista pc

My setup worked perfectly when I had an xp pc and a vista vc.
The xp pc had a samsung 6060 laser printer connected by a parallel cable and the vista pc had a HP710C also connected by a parallel cable. I also have a laptop running ubuntu linux. The pcs are networked peer to peer and connected to the internet through a wired router. I was able to share files between all three machines, and print on any printer from any pc.
I now have a new pc running windows 7 (64)and one of the many problems I am having is getting the printing to work.
The two pcs can share files ok, I can find and install both printers on both pcs and they both print through the pcs they are attached to. What they won't do is print through the network. though I can select the printers in an application and press print nothing then happens (not even an error message) I am not a pc 'teckie' and don't really understand how it should work, but have tried a variety of things like 'permissions', 'firewalls' and all the automated fault finding fixes, and so on but have struggled trying to understand what kind of driver should go where, or even to identify if this is a network issue or a printer driver issue
I'm tearing my hair out! And I've given up on networking the linux machine, and parked all the issues I am having with user account control, permissions and file ownership.
Can anyone help on the printing front please? Thanks.

One, have the printer shared (it sounds like you've already done that) and under the share name...make sure that it is less than twelve characters and includes no spaces or special characters (underscores are okay). Then, you should have no trouble adding it to your Mac.
On the Mac, go to System Preferences, then go to Print & Fac, then the "+" button, then on the pop-up window, select "More Printers". The top drop-down menu should say "Windows Printing", on the second one, select your Network Neighborhood, then the workgroup your host computer belongs to, then select the name of the computer and the printer shoudl show up. Mac OS X has a multitude of drivers preinstalled for printers, so one it is detected, go to the "Printer Setup" and select your printer model.
Hopefully that helps
