Can you connect a mobile broadband device to a time capsule?

Only if it has ethernet.. and offers the ip direct to the device ie you need a 3G router not a USB stick..

IPhone 5 not connecting to mobile wifi device

For some reason, this morning my iPhone 5 has stopped connecting to my mobile wifi device, giving me the message 'incorrect wifi password'. It is definitely the correct password as I verified it by connecting my iPad 2. I've re-booted, power cycled both the phone and wifi device and reset all network settings to no avail. Can anyone help?

thanks, that worked for my iphone 5... I considered doing just that, but couldn't figure how that would make a difference when my ipad was connecting and my phone was recognizing it, but just couldn't join it. Thanks again for taking the time to share such a simple fix!

Is there a way to set a default wifi device, e.g. mobile on IPAD2 please?

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help with a way to set a wifi device as a default. e.g. I use my mobile phone through the day to access wifi and want this wifi to be the default. Any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks.

Thank you. I have home wifi and when I am out on job sites, I use my mobile phone to act as a modem/router for wifi access on the ipad.
Rather than toggle between the two, I would prefer to set up the mobile phone as my default modem/router all the time.
When I get home in the evening, it wants to sync with the home based modem/router, which must be the stronger signal.
So, I would rather have a DEFAULT setting of the Mobile phone and not use the home modem/router.
Does that answer your question?
Cheers. Julie

Printer klling internet connection for all wifi devices in office

Hi!
We bought office jet 8600 pro and connected it to the main office desktop computer through ethernet cable. This main computer is also connected to wifi router.
All other laptops in office are using wifi router for internet and for printing.
As soon as we installed new printer it started to conflict with alll wifi devices in office. Basically all laptops and phones loosing internet connection for 2-15 minutes. Usually when somebody from main computer is using printer.
I read in another thread about similar problem and tried to fix this by checking firmware version of router and making a static ip for printer. I put printer to 192.168.1.250. It didn't work, internet keep going down. As experiment i made a static ip for my own laptop too -192.168.1.50. it didn't work too. Need help. Thank you!

Sorry. Actually we have 2 routers. First one is working as a connector for ethernet and another one is a wifi router. Printer is connected to the router(connector). Wi-fi router is connected to router(connector) too.
If printer is connected to the router(connector) every 5-10 minutes wi-fi for all computers in the office become restricted (without internet access).
As soon as you are pulling out the ethernet cable from printer, everything works fine.
There are two computers that sharing printer by ethernet cable. Others are using wi-fi connection through both routers to connect to the printer. Wi-fi printing is working good by the way.

I replaced an old airport extreme with a new one. None of my wifi devices will connect - always say incorrect password. Reinstalled old device, works fine. Any ideas?

I have a 5 year old airport extreme. I bought a new one to upgrade for better range. I connected the new one to the internet with a few problems, but a phone call to my internet provider resolved them. With an ethernet cable from the new airport extreme to my iMac, I'm connected. However, none of my wifi devices will connect. They see the network, but it either says "incorrect password" if I'm trying a new network name and password, or it repeatedly asks me to reenter the password if I use the old ones. I reinstalled my old airport extreme and everything works fine. I'm about ready to box up the new one and return it. Any ideas?

It is extremely difficult to fix these issues.. remotely.
If none of your wifi devices work.. that does sound unusual..
Have another try.. This time deal with the COMPUTER only.. leave everything else turned off.
Unplug the Extreme from the router.. reset it to factory.. do this full setup.
Unplug power from the Extreme.. hold in the reset button.. plug in the extreme to power and keep holding in the reset.. 10sec or so the front led should flash rapidly.. release the reset and wait a couple of min.
Now in the computer does the Airport extreme show up under wifi as new device??
Please make sure IPv6 is set to link local only to go further but it should work no matter what the settings are.
No luck clear out all the old wireless names from the computer.. reboot the computer and try again to scan for new wireless devices.
Hold the reset and try again.. it must appear in the wifi to be setup.
No sign of it the unit is faulty and can be returned.

Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi. They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine. They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete. Ideas?

I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

SMS. Deggie, had them check that. After a lengthy discussion with Senior Tech advisor, it appears it is iMessage/Face Time server (they are the same) issue, which will strong arm those into purchasing Data if they use iMessage over multiple devices, as the server registers the phone number associated with apple ID. Not impressed. I put what I've learned here in a simliar thread
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17416082#17416082
and this is what I've put in apple.com/feedback
"iMessage requires internet. SMS does not. iMessage/FaceTime auto logs phone numbers to the iMessage/Facetime server (it's the same server as I've come to learn), this means that when iMessage/Face Time is turned on anyone sending a message through the server to me will only be sent as an iMessage- not when I'm not connected to internet, meaning I will not receive the message as an SMS by default, when I have another device using iMessage (such as MacBook) logged in.
This feature is a problem for me, bottom line, in that iMessage strong arms the consumer (me) into having to buy a data plan that they either do not want, or do not need."

How do I set up my AT&T mobile internet device on the Mac? Each time I go to the network set up, I don't have an option to select the device, only WiFi.

Are you getting Airport confused with Airplay?
Secondly, I don't think a Mac can be used as an Airplay receiver. You'll need an Apple TV for that. There are third-party software packages that can turn your computer in to an Airplay receiver, but I'm not sure what the rules are about mentioning them here on Apple's forums.
Hint: google "airplay software"

When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

Hello asrt17,
This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.

We have unlimited talk and text, and 10gb of data shared on 2 smartphones, 1 regular phone, and a home wifi device. But Skype or FaceTime eat up a large portion of our current 10gb/month plan. We need the mobile home wifi device because we use it in our

We currently have verizon for four devices: two smart phones, one dumb phone, and a home wifi device. Unlimited text and calls, with 10GB data sharing on all devices. We have the wifi device because we live part of the year in NC, the other part in our RV. So we need the flexibility of moving our wifi with us without being chained to a contract at one address. However, FaceTime and Skype eat up a HUGE portion of our 10GB. We really love FaceTime or Skype because our daughter and grandkids live overseas.

Yeah I know there are tons of free wifi places but their home is 9 hours ahead of our timezone, so it is not always that easy to find one that is open and not noisy when they are all awake.
I noticed on our home wifi device we are paying $30/month for voice and data, i.e. home phone and internet. Since we have cell phones, we do not have a home phone so I am not sure why we are paying for a home phone service. Couldn't I just change that device plan to be internet only? Saves me $10/month

WRT54GXv2 Won't Allow Windows Mobile 5 Device to Connect

Using the WRT54GX as a WAP with DHCP and NAT turned off. Installed latest firmware earlier today. DHCP is being supplied by a SonicWall SOHO 3. Both PC's and MAC's can connect wirelessly (WEP 128 bit key) but my new T-Mobile MDA phone tries to connect but then drops. I verified the WIFI on the phone works by connecing to a T-Mobile WIFI Zone at Borders books earlier today.
Is there an issue with Windows Mobile 5 devices and the WRT54GXv2? Is there a workaround?
Thanks!

Try to configure the router this way:
Connecting a Wireless Linksys router to a regular Ethernet Linksys Router
Now since you are issuing DHCP on a Sonicwall SOHO3, make sure your router is on that range instead of the router IP on the directions on that link. Goodluck! Remember it's from a regular port from Sonic wall to a regular port on the WRT54GX..

Airport Express & Wireless WIFI device from cell phone carrier

I am trying to understand the functions and purpose of this airport things!
Can airport express be used with my wifi mobile broadband device from local cell phone carrier?
The main reason I am thinking about this purchase is to add 2 printers to be able to print to from my MACBOOK.
I am also looking to expand anything else I can with this airport thing?
Forgive the lack of understanding and thank you in advance !

Welcome to the discussions!
+Can airport express be used with my wifi mobile broadband device from local cell phone carrier?+
The AirPort Express can "join" a wireless network as a client and providing that your printers are compatible, you should be able to print to them. Not all printers are compatible and if you have an all-in-one device, only the print function will work. Fax, scan, copy, maintenance, etc will not work when the device is attached to the AirPort Express USB port.
If you want to connect more than one printer to the AirPort Express, you will need a powered USB hub.
The AirPort Express will not be able to "extend" your wireless network. In other words, it will not do anything to boost your wireless signal.
I would advise you to make sure that you understand the store's return policy in case things do not work out as you hope.
