Surf and Talk - hub connection question

My sister has signed up for Surf and Talk due to go live on 8th June. I don't know what type of hub she will be having - I checked her computer today and see it doesn't have an ether port - just wondering if anyone knows if she'll be able to connect via USB? It's an old computer and not wireless.
Many thanks and sorry to be so vague.

Hi Doodah,
Thanks for the post. 
If your sister has placed an order for BT residential broadband then she will receive a Home hub 2.0.  This router comes with 4 ethernet connections and 1 USB connection.  The USB connection is used for printers or storage devices so unfortunately this cant be used to connect to your PC.
I would recommend purchasing a wireless adapter for the PC, these can be found on any high street store and prices start from about £15 onwards.  This will enable the PC for a wireless connection.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Sean

  • Surf and Talk at the same time (AT&T Commercials)

    So I see all these commercials saying AT&T has the fastest 3G network. I also see the commercials about being able to surf and talk at the same time.
    Now I was almost positive that was crap but figured let me test this out again just to be sure. Sure enough, on the Edge network (which might be the issue, might actually work on 3G which is very limited with AT&T it appears), the iPhone won't talk and do surfing at the same time. You get "Cellular data connections are not available during this call" as the message on your screen.
    So is this just an issue with the iPhone specific or is this just bad marketing on AT&T's part?

    This is possible when connected to AT&T's 3G network, which is not available in most rural areas. I do this often.

    Verizon's 3G network has better coverage, but it is fast as AT&T's EDGE network.

  • Surf and talk

    when will the Motorola turbo and Sony Xperia be approved to get  the advanced calling app 1.0.
    I work for Cellular Sales Verizon we are the leading independent dealer for Verizon wireless and I almost lost a new activation customer yesterday
      4 lines new activation the customer pre-ordered for droid turbos and they were unable to surf  and talk when we made a phone call the signal went from 4G to 1X now I realize the new network is still being developed but how come the Samsung devices and iPhone 6 can all surf and talk the HTC devices can surf and talk are they using CDMA and the 4G network it just seems like they released the turbo and the Sony Xperia too early some reps will tell you that being able to surf and talk is not a big deal but it is a big deal I have a lot of business customers that need that option when they are using their phone if you have any solid dates for when the update will come out I would appreciate it

  • Can I surf and talk at the same time on a verizon iphone?

    I've heard that Verizon iPhones don't allow users to talk and surf at the same time. Is that true? I'm not keen on going to AT&T. If it's true, will it ever change?

    Yes. It is true because Verizon runs on CDMA which doesn't allow for surf and talk at the same time. AT&T runs on GSM which allows for surf and talk at the same time.

  • Surf and Talk 5S?

    Will the iPhone 5S have the ability to surf on the internet while you are talking on the phone?
    I know a lot of phone's have this capability, but I heard on the verizon edition of the iPhone you weren't able to do this?

        Hi there prettysenshi2,
    I am so excited for the new iPhone 5s and I hope you are too! Due to the hardware of the iPhone 5s, it will only be able to complete simultaneous voice and data when connected to Wifi. As you mentioned, all of our other 4G LTE Android devices do have this option! If it's an important feature for you and you don't have Wifi access I would recommend comparing other devices here: http://bit.ly/nD0WuY

  • Qwest DSL and Airport Express connection question

    I've recently purchased DSL service from Qwest and I'm using an Actiontec GT701 modem (also supplied by Qwest). When plugging the ethernet cable directly into my iMac, I can easily connect to the internet. However, when I plug the ethernet cable into my AirPort Express and try to connect wirelessly, I've not had any success. The AirPort on my iMac easily locates the AX signal (as it will also do for the Qwest modem), but subsequent attempts to wirelessly connect to the internet do not work. I repeatedly get an error message: "Unable to connect to the internet" (or something similar).
    Qwest customer support has not been able to provide any solutions.
    Any suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks very much.

    Also, one other question: the DSL with Qwest is set up as a "PPPoA", and the iMac seems to be looking for a "PPPoE". Are these two compatible, or should I perform any additional set-up/configuration changes with the AX or my iMac?
    No these represent two different methods of encapsulating the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
    PPPoE = Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
    PPPoA = Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
    This may represent a problem as, far as I know, AirPort products don't support PPPoA. Typically only the device directly connected to the ISP or the modem needs to be set up for either PPPoE/PPPoA. All other would use "Using DHCP."
    I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with PPPoA setup. Maybe someone else in these Discussions can chime in.
    You mentioned that you tried to change the DSL over to PPPoE. Is that an option that is available to you with the DSL service your ISP provides?

  • G580 external USB 2 and 3 hub connection

    G580 Windows 8 64bit
    I am unable to connect either USB2 or USB3 external hubs either powered or not to the notebook. The USB2 is locked out by windows and the USB3 crashes the system until removed. Intel driver update states that all Intel drivers are up to date. Both tested hubs work on an HP Vista 32bit laptop. Individual USB devices work fully so it seems to be hubs that are the problem.  As there are only two USB3 ports available it would be convenient to use a hub occasionally. Any help would be gratefully received

    I have a drive I had been using in a 2007 MacBook that I would like to "upgrade" to a compatible version of 10.7.4 (build 11E2705), but I am having trouble finding a way to get the version of the OS on the drive without affecting the data on the drive.
    I had hoped that booting from the Recovery partion on the SSD would allow me to "Reinstall 10.7" to get a compatible version, but the drive still can not boot the 2012 MacBook Air.
    I may try cloning next, moving directories I want to keep to the root level of the target drive, but I wish there was an easier way to "refresh" the install of the OS to a newer version for new hardware.
    I also need to find a way to "refresh" the USB drive I have for installing 10.7, to make sure it has the ability to boot new hardware, since the original 10.7.4 USB install clone does not boot the newest laptops.

  • I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express.  I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.

    Hello there, RobenCaatje.
    The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Specifically:
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My iPhone 4 won't connect to our WiFi at home, but will at other WiFi spots.  However, my parent's iPhones work and connect just fine at home using WiFi.  I have called and talked to several people and no one seems to be able to help me.

    The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
    Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
    If that doesn't work then
    Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
    If that doesn't work
    Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
    Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    I hope one of these will help.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.
