Simple wireless connection question-one laptop hookup

Can one get a "wireless modem" from a cable company and buy a laptop (mac)and connect wirelessly to this modem, without having to plug the modem directly into the laptop? I've heard of "networking" where the cable modem plugs directly into a desktop, then a laptop can find connection wirelessly, but what if there's ONE computer and you don't want it wired to modem, but want to move around the house. Sorry for dumb question, but I can't seem to think thru this! Thanks ahead for help!

What you mean is a wireless router. Very different from a wireless modem of which there are several (e.g. ethernet, USB and CardBus). Yes, you set up a wireless network via that modem/router. However, you situation is totally dependent on what your ISP provides/recommends. Check with your ISP. If they provide you with just a modem, you would pick up something like the AirPort Express to create a wireless network for your notebook to access wirelessly.

New Apple TV and wireless Connection Question?

My son lives in Russia and works for the State Dept. He want an Apple TV. The problem is that he is not tech savvy. Does the Apple TV need to connect wired or wireless to the router or just to the laptop to stream. He has a wireless connection for the laptop but if he has to go through set up and connect it to a router, I will never be able to walk him through it from 10,000 miles away. I have the old Apple tv and have it connected to the router with a wired connection. But I guess my IMAC synchs with the old Apple TV to send programs whether it is hardwired to a router or not. I hope this makes sense.

New AppleTv will connect via ethernet or wi-fi as before.
You could more than likely just connect it directly to the laptop with ethernet to stream locally stored content,but you'd need to set up some kind of internet sharing for it to access any internet or itunes store features.
AppleTV could also be set to work with an ad hoc wireless network from laptop but again internet connection would have to be shared over this, and it might be a bit fiddly too if router setup is going to be fiddly.
Simplest would be to connect both to router with ethernet. Have you considered mains powerline ethernet adapters if running cables is impractical?

2 X-Fi Surround 5.1 connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one?

M2 X-Fi Surround 5. connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one? Hi,
for multi room audio purposes I connected two USB X-Fi Surround 5. to a laptop. Windows detects the two sound cards correctly and via Winamp I can have both of them play simultaniously different music, which is great.
However, I can't seem to be able to make a selection between the two sound cards in Creative's audio console. I can only select one card, and of course, the sound settings only apply to that one card. How can I access the other card for sound settings such as 3D and crystalizer ?
The sound card selection menu allows me to choose between :
- Windows Standard audio
- SB X-Fi surround 5.
- X-Fi surround 5. Line / Mic in
- X-Fi surround 5. What U hear
I tried reinstalling the sound drivers as suggested elsewhere, but that doesn't seem to help.
Many thanks in advance !
Kind regards,
Cooled Spirit.

QRe: 2 X-Fi Surround 5. connected to one laptop, audio console only supports one?B Thanks, but that doesn't help, as soon as I unplug, the settings are "lost". It's the software that stores the settings, not the hardware.
My theory so far is, that this caused by?two identical?products : both have exactly the same?device name in Windows. I can imagine that when certain software tries to retrieve a list of available Creative?hardware, it might get confused when two identical names occur in the list, perhaps skipping one of the "duplicates". Windows device name is?provided either by the drivers or the hardware itself.
Of course, this is just a theory. Windows itself and software like Winamp seem to be able to handle this perfectly.
If I would have the technical know-how, I would try to rename the device name in Windows registry. Alas, the name appears at many places, I don't know which exact place to change the name, in order to obtain different device names. And that's assuming Creative software uses this...
Kind regards,
Cooled.

Why does wireless work for one laptop and not the other?

I have two laptops:
1) MacBook: 10.4.8, Airport Exteme (Firmware 1.0.46)
2) G4: 10.3.9, Airport Extreme (405.1 (3.90.0.p18)
I have the two machines sitting right next to each other in my apartment. Machine #1 has full wireless signal strength. Machine #2 barely has any wireless signal. Neither is running Interference Robustness. Any ideas why one would work and the other would not, or suggestions as to how to debug this problem?
I have tried stopping and restarting the Airport Extreme card on machine #2. I have also tried power cycling machine #2. This does not fix the problem.
A little more history: for a long time I was having problems with machine #2 dropping the wireless connection. As part of trying to work around these problems I turned on Interference Robustness on machine #2. This fixed the dropping signal problem, but left me with weak signal strength. I shut off Interference Robustnes but ever since then the signal has still been weak on machine #2.
Mac Mini Duo 1.66 GHz, 2 GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The base station uses a single channel which all clients must use to connect.
Have you checked the antenna connection into the card? Many people are surprised about how far the wire is actually supposed to be pushed into the card. Compare the connection with the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

Cisco 1811W stopped allowing wireless connection of domain laptops

I have a Cisco 1811W that after several years in service suddenly stopped allowing any wireless connection to laptops on the domain. It allows hard wired connections and devices that are just using the wireless hot spot like iPads and Iphones but not devices on the domain. These same laptops connect wirelessly without issue at our other facilities which use the same hardware.

It was a two fold problem. There is another stronger Wi-Fi signal that exists at the facility from another entity on a different domain that the two laptops were trying to associate to in lieu of the network signal from our 1811. This could only be seen while watching the Intel wireless Proset app NOT the Windows wireless management app. Then by deleting all other old Wi-Fi networks listed in the Intel Proset app except ours it connected. Also set devices to never connect to the other signal. This was not an issue when I brought the laptop to another faciIity without a competing Wi-Fi signal becuase they would connect using the strongest and ONLY Wi-Fi network signal which was ours.

How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

Hello,
We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security.
We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect. This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
Thank you for your help!

Describe the equipment in your network. Modem? Router?

HP C4780 won't print even though it's wireless connected to my laptop and home network.

Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my Photosmart C4780 to my AT&T 2Wire router (my last router was Netgear and I had no problems with installation/setup). I installed the printer and it seems to be connected to my laptop (OS is Windows 7 32-bit)and network but it just won't print (excel, word, internet page, etc.). I've run the network configuration scan, wireless network report, print diagnostic, and hardware diagnostic. Everything checks out but the test page print will not print. When I try to print some from Word, it gives me a pop up error box saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." I don't know what else to try!
Thanks in advance!

WRT54GS wireless connection drops on laptop when wired desktop is turned on.

I've had this router for a few years now and have never had a problem. But recently my laptop wireless connection dies when my desktop, which is connection via ethernet is turned on. In trying to fix the problem, I've upgraded the firmware, but that didn't end up working. I recently upgraded to vista from xp on the desktop computer, so I don't know if this is what started the problem. I don't recall if this problem started before I upgraded.
I don't know what sort of additional information you guys would need to help diagnose the problem, so just let me know and I'll get that info for you.
Thanks,
Kurt

Check under Local Area Conneciton in Desktop that if there is any other connection except Local Area Connection is present ... if so then delete or disable that ...
Also check that if there is any USB connection from Modem to the Computer ....

Z10 Wireless Connection Question

One minor quirk that I have noticed with my z10 over the last few months -- when I have both Wifi and cell radio connections on at home wireless connections sometimes seem to struggle (especially apps like Facebook, Twitter, PGA Tour). If I turn off WiFi then response is very good -- I'm on Rogers LTE: is it possible WiFi and LTE somehow conflict sporadically? Our iPhone doesn't seem to have this problem but it's a non LTE iPhone 4s.
Just installed the latest OS patch but no change to this one
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'd recommend:
Delete the saved WiFi profile on your Z10 (Settinggs > Network Connections > WiFi > find your connection and open it and choose the trashcan below to delete it.
Restart the Z10 (hold the top edge power button down a few seconds > restart at bottom right)
Then setup your same WiFi connection again.

Limit wireless connection to one connection only. Is that possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to limit wireless connection to allow only one computer to connect to wireless?
Thank you.

Yes. Secure your connection with WPA or WPA2. Provide the passphrase or pass key to that computer only. That should do it.

Hp 4580 wireless connection question

Can I connect this printer by usb To one pc, and ALSO connect it wirelessly to other computers on the wireless network in The house ?

There should be any issues with that kind of setup, I've had to do that in the past myself with a non-wireless PC. If you have any other questions, please let me know which exact model of 4580 you have, seems there are at least three different varieties.

Can you extend a wireless connection from one time capsule to another wirelessly?

We have two time capsules, one is connected to our modem and is transmitting a wireless network. It is in a really out of the way location, and we would like to set up a network printer in a different location on that network, so we got another time capsule (to hook up to the printer at a different location). Could we possibly extend the wireless network to the second time capsule with the printer attached so we could use the printer as a network printer? (If yes, HOW?)

Could we possibly extend the wireless network to the second time capsule
Yes, if the second Time Capsule is located where it can receive a good wireless signal from the other Time Capsule.
To test, move a laptop to the proposed location of the second Time Capsule. Log on using wireless on the laptop and spend some time to make sure that you have a good, solid reliable Internet connection. If you do, then the Time Capsule should work well at that location.
You would use AirPort Utility to configure the second Time Capsule to "Extend a wireless network". If you open AirPort Utility now as a test, can you "see" both Time Capsules there?
The reason that we ask is that you might need to check some settings on the "main" Time Capsule to be able to configure the second Time Capsule correctly.
with the printer attached so we could use the printer as a network printer?
If the same printer works on your Time Capsule now, then it should work on the second Time Capsule. If it is working now, you may not even need to re-install it again when it is connected to the second Time Capsule.
This is one of those times when you will not know if something will work until you actually try.

Need help with selecting an LCD TV that can wirelessly connect to my laptop

I specifically need to have the ability to view my laptop's display wirelessly on the tv. My office is going to use it as a presentation display so when I'm in a power point presentation on my laptop it is actually displayed on the tv. Please let me know what tv's allow this or if there is an accessory I can purchase to make the connection. I'm hoping there is a blue tooth type option or a USB receiver that can be used.

I have an LG 55" TV that allows me to stream from my router to the TV via cat5. It isDLNA compatible, so it can receive signals from any compatible device.

Wireless connection to my Laptop (Windows 8) and my HP 5520

My HP 5520 all in one printer is having problems connecting wirelessly (it may be since I had BT Infinity router installed) I get message unable to connect to printer,but when I check the printer window says printer is connected to the correct IP address,If I switch printer off & back on again all is fine for a while until I have a break from printing of half hour or more when I get the same message,I can also restore it by using the wireless set up proceedure & pressing the button on the router,but again it seems to lose contact after a break of half hour or so,I have been on to Know How team as printer is under guarantee but they dont seem able to help ????

Hi Mick25,
I have seen the IPV6 cause interference before, often times turning this feature off will resolve the issue.
On the front screen of the printer please touch the Wireless icon. There are 4 icons across the top, the Wireless is the second one from the left. In the Wireless Menu, arrow down to Advanced Settings. I would like to turn off the IPV6, arrow down to IPV6 and select OFF.
If this does not resolve the issue, you may consider setting a static IP. Use the following link for instructions written by PrintDoc.
Please let me know if one of these solutions resolves the issue. I will gladly follow up if you require further assistance.

Can't get wireless connection to Gateway laptop

My wife has a school-district issued Gateway laptop- state of the art. We can't get connected to the internet at home using our new airport express. The imac gets on fine, and the gateway gets on if we simply plug the modem into the computer, but nothing wirelessly. It's works for her at her job, it works in coffee shops. Her tech person told her it's equiped to work at home with adding any software, but we get nothing. Something we're supposed to tweak?
