Notebook+cable+N95 as wifi modem, how to?

Good day!
I've got my Wifi broken on the notebook, so I was searching for information how can I connect to internet using my N95 as a wifi modem. I want to connect the phone to notebook via usb cable, turn on wifi on N95 and start using it as wifi modem.
PC suite allows me only to use it as GPRS modem.
Can anybody please help me up with the matter? I am really struggling to find any info on that.
Thanks in advance

Basically, what you want to do here is use the N95 as a USB-connected WiFi adapter, right?
I'm afraid that can't be done.
You're much better off buying a real USB WiFi adapter. They're inexpensive nowadays.

4G NETGEAR AirCard/Sierra 760s Wifi Modem - How to Setup Shared Folders on MicroSD Card?

Hi All, I have tried extensivly to setup the Network Sharing feature on my Sierra 760s Wifi modem but have not had any luck. Ive reviewed the NetGear setup instructions in addition to fourms but everything fails to work. Could anyone point me in the right direction with this? Things I have tried so far - NetGear Setup Book - Mac OS X Open Finder. Select Go > Connect to Server.... Type http://aircard.hotspot/dav/. I get an error message saying the server is not available. I have also tired the BigPond versions in similar formats, the error message changes slightly but still to the same point of "computer says no". Any help would be great! Cheers,Matt

I'D ALSO ADD: If you still have troubles try using the IP address instead (it will be the default gateway in network and sharing). 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.1 Default password admin. Oh and you need to be connected to the 760s's wireless network to log in.

HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
In the meantime..
Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
ie
You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

My airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless

my airport extreme is flashing amber it says i need a ip address .... it was working just fine yesterday until i had to reboot cable modem how do i get my extreme to work again so i can have wireless..... please help!!!

Hi again Jen,
Most internet providers utilize "dhcp" -- you might want to check to see if your extreme is set to that function.
If you want to try, you need to go into airport utility and select MANUAL setup/ then click NETWORK button on top of the window. /select TCP/IP -- make sure that you see "Using DHCP" not MANUAL in the configuration window. If you do see using dhcp, click the renew dhcp lease button. Then you'd have to do the power down/up cycle again. If all this doesn't work, you can do a hard reset on your Extreme, which will bring it back to the way it came out of the box, then go through the same proccess that was used to set it up originally.

I have att u verse modem and it wifi was not working. So i got netgear wifi an d i connected my apple tv via ethernet cable to att uverse modem . i did not want slow dowm my wi fi speed. Now airplay is not working .

i have att u verse modem and it wi fi was not working. So i got net gear wi fi and connected to att modem . i connected my apple TV via Ethernet cable to att uverse modem . i did not want slow down my wi fi speed. My Apple phone is on Netgear wifi .Now airplay is not working .

Make sure that the Att Modem goes to the netgear router via ethernet cable. Then connect your Apple Tv with a ethernet cable to the back of the net gear router. Airplay wants it to both be connected to the same device, usually.

I just bought an ipad 3. The hotel I am staying at only has basic internet using a cable not wifi. How can I connect with my ipad?

I am staying at a hotel that using traditional internet with a cable. Not Wifi. Can I connect my ipad to their cable?

No.
For future consideration if this is something you will be doing on a regular basis, you need to bring your own wireless router along.

Using N95 as a Modem Via USB on O2UK Network

Hi I am trying to connect to the internet with my laptop using the N95 as a modem via USB. I have tried a couple of different ways to do this. I've tried using the one touch access in Nokia PC suite and it gets up to the part where it says "verifying username and password" then says unable to establish a connection. I have also tried connecting from the "connect to" tab in the start menu on xp (also tried vista) and selecting my mobile as the modem through which to connect. I am an O2UK Customer and i have been told the user name and pass to use to connect is user=mobileweb and password=password. Im sure this is true because it does get past the verifying username and password bit when i do it this way. But when it gets to the "Registering your computer on the network" part it fails.
What am i doing wrong. I have tried this in both GSM and UMTS mode.
are there any other O2UK Customers who have managed to use their N95 as a modem? If so please can you post here and explain how i do it.
Any help is greatly appreciatedMessage Edited by n95nooby on 29-Oct-200703:05 AM

Do you have an IBM / Lenovo Laptop?
I do and I checked the event logs and noticed failure 680 which indicated that no dial tone could be obtained (cable not plugged it) or similar symptom.
I used to receive the error "one touch access failed to establish a network connection" using the Nokia PC Suite. I checked under start | settings | network connections and selected properties on the valid dial-up device. Then I noticed that the device was using the Internal Thinkpad modem instead of the Nokia. This explained the error 680 as the Thinkpad modem was not cabled to the phone line. After changing the connect using device from thinkpad to Nokia all worked well.
Let me know if this helps.

N95 as wifi access point

Hi,
Is there a way use the HDSPA internet connectivity of the phone from a computer with WiFi?
How do I do this?
Thanks

I dont think it is as would have to be connected through a router to a phone line anyway. My psp doesn't even detect my N95. You would have to use it as a bluetooth modem and 3g.
Its not who i am underneath. But what i do that defines me.
You are here for a reason Superman.
"Come to me son of Jor-EL. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD"

Hi, I asked about my WiFi modem? Sorry but I don't understand any of the suggestions given to me. We don't have an Apple Store where I live, the rest of it's over my head. I also don't own a PC. Any other suggestions? What's IPS?

What I want to know is why did my WiFi modem work just fine for a whole week, now it doesn't. I can't get any Internet access if it's connected, if it's not I can't download apps from AppStore,as I have no Internet access. I'm tech literate, I don't understand what an IPS is, I don't know about ports and numbers, and there is no Apple store where I live. So now what am I supposed to do? My mum bought me the **** thing, it cost her $150, and it's worked for a week, and then excuse my French, **** itself! Can someone please help me, and in English please? I've only had an iPad since Christmas, I don't have a PC and wouldn't know how to do any of that stuff if I did. Very Frusterating!

You asked about IPS. I believe you mean ISP, or your Internet Service Provider.
Since you don't have a computer, you won't be able to change the router settings.
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

Most of what I have read indicates extender should have same name as main network? How is it best to configure with the Airport Extreme router 802.11ac?

Different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks are optional, but can be convenient for you to distinguish one from another. It's up to you.

Canon 5D III tether to iPad 4 (either cable direct or wifi

I'm using a Canon 5D III and I would like to RELIABLY transfer photos in real-time to my iPad 4 Retina for proofing/checking the photos. Either cable-direct or wifi. I have the latest version of Lightroom and PS CC 2014. Can I do it and how do I do it? I've read that some of wifi options are not that reliable. Thanks. Bob

MacBook keep disconnecting from LinkSYS WAG325N WiFi Modem/Router

Hello,
I've been using my MacBook for a really long time. Over 1.5 years I had no Wi-Fi connection problems until my US Robotics 9106 Modem stopped working. I bought a nice LinkSYS WAG325N Modem. From that moment on, my MacBook started to disconnect from LinkSYS's WiFi constantly. I used every wep/web2 etc. security protocols possible. Nothing worked.
With my US Robotics I used MAC Filtering which worked perfectly. I did the same settings to LinkSYS as you can guess that didn't help at all...
I did firmware update to my modem, it even got worse so I downgrade my modem to previous version.
I read almost every forum out there, no one has came up with a solution.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, please do so, I need urgent help or else I need to take my modem back before 15th day of using it is over. And try to find some modem that my MacBook would like...
Thank you.

Hello,
Yes I tried with US Robotics, worked perfectly.
It worked at all caffe's wifi spots (I have no info about their modem/router)
Strange enough, I realised that, if I place my old wifi modem next to this one just connecting the power and turning the modem on, somehow macbook connects fine !? it is too weird, and nearly impossible to explain. but if I place these two modems together and connect with linksys, and the other is just on, no connection no nothing just its wifi is on, MacBook connects... but if I leave the room and go to the living room the problem occurs again.
And since all the other windows laptops connecting from living room has %85 signal power this modem is wonderful. But for a MacBook, it is nothing but pain.
If I get a chance, I'll ask a friend to bring his macbook here which is newer (core2duo) mine is core duo and see what happens.

Issues are usually network related
What is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
6mbps is required for instant HD (you can switch to SD in the settings)
If on wifi try ethernet and www.istumbler.net to rule out interference
Make sure you're using your ISP's DNS

WIFI modem Ziggo werkt niet goed op iPad en iPhone

Wie kan mij helpen?
Ik heb al jaren wifi thuis (Zyxel). Sinds ik een paar weken heb ik een wifi modem van Ziggo in gebruik. Op mijn laptop en mijn man zijn Samsung telefoon werkt wifi perfect. Helaas valt de verbinding op de iPad en Iphone elke keer uit als je naar een andere app schakelt. Je ziet nog wel het wifi icoontje, maar de iPad en iPhone geven aan dat er geen verbinding mogelijk is.
Wie kan mij helpen dit op te lossen? Ziggo kan niet helpen, hun product werkt goed en het is mijn keuze er een Apple product (of van welk merk ook) aan het modem te hangen. Ze hebben een afdeling betaalde ondersteuning, voor € 0,65 per minuut, maar de vraag is of ze het op kunnen lossen en in welk aantal minuten.
Ik zit er hard aan te denken mijn oude router weer aan te sluiten naast het modem van Ziggo.
Alvast bedankt!
Suzanne

How it is working on your iPad and iPhone is how it is supposed to work. You need to download or sync the book to both devices yourself, the 'sync collections' setting will only keep the books that you have on both devices in-line with each other, it won't download a book onto a device - and similarly for 'sync bookmarks', you need to download or sync the books yourself.
If you want new book purchases to automatically download on a device then you can set automatic downloads 'on' via Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Books
