Setting wifi as primary internet medium

Hi,
I am a newbie to BB. i have  a few issues..
1) How can i make my BB to use only wifi and not Wap or 2g (over Vodafone)... I connect to Wifi and then surf the appworld or the web but still i end up using a services from my service provider that i dont intent to
2) When i try to browse to web using Hotspot Browser or Vodafone Live i get the error message unable to connect .
Can some1 kinldy advise the sttings that i have beein missing
BTW . I am using BB Curve 8520 - V 5.0.0.1036

The design of the iPad/software uses wifi first. If not available it automatically switches to cellular. You can't use both at the same time.
 Cheers, Tom

  • E72 refusing to use wifi to access internet unless...

    hi all,
    just got an e72-1 (gsm). It connects to wifi fine, and when i go into wifi menu on the home screen and hit start web browsing it works fine, however if i then try to use an app that uses the net (updating maps/facebook/ovi etc etc) it only trys to access the net via my network's mobile internet. How can I (if at all possible) convince my handset to give me the option at the time of connection which way I would like to access the net, or alternatively to set WIFI as its 'preferential' point of access so that it wont keep trying to eat throuh my data bundle??

    Go to unlockit.co.nz. from your phone
    Make sure you are connected to your wifi when you do so
    select your coutry and your network and install the APN
    Hope this solves your problem

  • Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.

    Hi,
    I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though.  Toggling the wifi setting clears
    the issue temporarily but it occurs again.  Running iOS 8.3 now.  This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well. 
    I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
    My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.  It is configured with all bands with the same name.
    All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
    My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands. 
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Have you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on?  This seems to solve a lot of problems.

  • Macbook Pro connected to wifi, but no internet connection

    Hi,
    Just bought new Macbook Pro yesterday with Mountain Lion OS. When back home, trying to connect internet, unfortunately safari would always says "No internet connection". I try very hard on getting it up creating new connection on MBP but it still give the same result. So I think it should be related my router setting. The current wifi setting for my TP-Link router is WPA2-PSK, AES, channel 11 with secured password. When I changed it to NO security, supprisingly the connection is now OK and I can browse internet through Safari. The problem is I have to get it back to WPA2 security setting since my home internet is now open to my neighbourhood and of course it shouldn't be shared all around you. Anybody can tell how the router setting should work with MBP, with details on security type, AES or TKIP,CHANNEL?

    That doesn't mean anything.  You can't telnet to google. lol
    The ping you did above shows you that Internet access and DNS is working fine.  If it wasn't, you wouldn't be able to get replies.  This means that the problem is with your browser.  Open up Safari and hit Safari/Reset Safari under it's menu.  See if that works to solve your issue.  If it doesn't, then it's a plugin or something else (maybe Proxy changes, etc.) which could be causing this.  One option you have to test is if the reset doesn't fix it, install another browser (you'll need to download the dmg via another PC and install it on the mac from a memory stick or something) and see if a 3rd party browser works.

    Hello buddyacw
    You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

  • How set up  macbook  pro Internet router?

    how set up  macbook  pro Internet router?

    But isn't the MacBook Pro connected to the modem and being used as the router? You can only share an Ethernet connection wirelessly. You only check the box to share the Ethernet connection to Wi-Fi. Do not check any of the other boxes. You select Ethernet from the dropdown menu as the connection you will share. Your preferences should look like this:
    The only difference will be that yours will show just Ethernet, not Ethernet 1.

  • Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

    I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

    Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
    I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
    1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
    2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
    3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
    4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
    5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
    6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
    7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
    8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
    That’s it. Job done
    If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and back

    I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
    I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
    Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen 

    You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
    You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
    Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
    If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

  • Im connected to wifi but the internet wont work?

    im connected to wifi but the internet wont work how do i make it work

    Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network?  A commercial network? 

  • Can my ipad 3 wifi use an internet dongle

    can my ipad 3 wifi use an internet dongle attached to it????

    No. The iPad has no USB port to attach a dongle to it. And while the Camera connection Kit may support USB drives, I doubt any dongle would get recognized by the iPad through it.
    Your best bet is too look for a portable Wifi hotspot or Mifi device.

  • Firefox is set as default but Internet Explorer sometimes conflicts

    On the whole, firefox works well and is set as my default internet browser. Sometimes though, if someone sends me something where internet explorer has been used, I get Internet Exlorer trying to open but all that happens is that the window continually opens and closes and goes completely haywire until I shut down the whole computer. This only happens when someone sends me something where they have used I.Explorer. I avoid it all costs even though I sstill have the program on the computer obviously.

    You got to do 2 things to solve this:
    1) Open Firefox -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced
    -> System Defaults section -> put a Checkmark on "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup".
    -> Click OK.
    2) Open My Computer -> go to Control Panel -> Internet Properties -> Programs
    -> at the bottom Remove Checkmark from "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser.
    -> Click OK.
    Check if its working.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • E1200 speed issue - only when wifi download from internet

    Hi,
    I have a brand new E1200 router and I'm very disapointed with the speed I get.
    The E1200 is connected to a Motorola SB6120 cable modem, connected to comcast.
    I'm doing a couple of test using speedtest.net, and a couple of file transfers test between laptops on my network:
    1) Laptop ethernet connected directly to the SB6120 modem. Speeds are around 34Mbps Down, 6Mbps Up which is what I expect.
    2) Laptop ethernet connected to E1200, E1200 connected to SB6120. Speeds stays around the same (so far so good).
    3) Laptop connected to E1200 through wifi. Thats when I get issue: Speed Down <1Mbps, Up is still around 6Mbps. 
    4) 1 Laptop, connected to E1200 through wifi, another laptop connected through ethernet. Transfer speeds about 48Mbps (thats about what I expect good). E1200 still connected to Modem.
    5) 2 laptops connected to E1200 through wifi, transfer speed about 25Mbps (half of the previous test, sound about right too). E1200 still connected to Modem.
    So basically:
    - Wifi to Wifi : Good
    - Wifi to Internal Ethernet: Good
    - Internal Ethernet to External Internet: Good
    - Wifi to External Internet: BAD
    Before I return this router and try another one, what the h** is going on here ? I can understand bad wifi connection, but not in
    this manner.
    I should mention that I see a lot of extra ARP traffic coming from the modem and Comcast network, but that's a fairly low rate (~10Kbps) and not a problem when I'm doing ethernet to internet speed tests, so I dont think thats the problem.
    Thanks.

    Try to do the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
    1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
    2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
    3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
    4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
    For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
    For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
    Now check the connectivity status.
