Thinking bout getting at&t wifi internet

I am shopping around for wifi internet at my house. Alot of places have hidden charges. I dont like that. I am on a limited income and i have to budget everything down to the T. Can anyone help me figure out this.

Internet is pretty straight forward.
Ask if you are renting or buying modem and router. Be aware of the full cost, not just the introductory price for the first year.
If you can avoid TV, please do. That is where they get you with nickels and dimes.

  • My wife and I are thinking about getting match but we have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing our individual apps

    my wife andI are thinking about getting match so that all of our music is in one place. However, we are currently have different itunes accounts and we are worried about losing the different apps that we have accumulated over time, also she has more storage than I do and we are a little worried about that.  Does anybody have any ideas.

    You won't lose any apps but one of you will lose the ability to update apps on the device.
    For you to share iTunes Match all devices must be signed into the same iTunes Store Apple ID that was used to purchase the service. This means any Apps that were purchased with the other Apple ID cannot be updated on the device as a device can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days.
    I know it's not what you want to hear, but my suggestion is to simply stay with the system you have. It will cause you less headaches.

  • HT201335 I'm thinking of getting apple tv...I have an HD tv. will the apple tv automatically detect my wifi or does it require more to use apple tv?

    Hi ronda
    I am not sure what you mean by "automatically". It will find your network but you will need to enter your password, assuming you have your WiFI protected.

  • HT201441 How will the device get connected to the internet if it's locked and is wifi only?

    My daughter left her purse in a fitting room briefly and once she realized this, it was gone. In her purse was her iPad mini wifi only. I am curious how would the iPad get connected to the internet if it is locked? I have find my iPhone activated and since it is a iOS 7 device I put in lost mode and set it to display my phone # and a message for a reward. I am guessing it would have to be wiped clean somehow and re activated to be signed into to get hooked to the internet. Am I on the right track that once this is done and it gets connected to the internet the device will display this message? Any comments will help thank you.

    Thank you for your imput Winston. But how is the IPad going to connect when you physically have to put in the wifi password for the wifi? I guess the iPad would be able to access a unsecured wifi? I also read what I believe is conflicting with your statement about iOS 7 that you can send the remote erase and still be able to track? I havent done this yet I want to be certain that if I erase it remotely I can still track. Thanks again for your time.

  • I have a wifi strong signal but anytime i try to browse i will have a message telling me safari is not connected to the internet,what should i do to get connected to the internet.?

    can momebody tell me what to do to get connected to the internet?i just got an Ipad2 16gb,i have a strong WIFI signal.two other computer working in the house.

    If you have what appears to be a strong signal, but it reports no Internet, then your router is not giving your iPad a connection and the iPad is self assigning an IP which falsely reports a strong signal. Go to Settings/Wi-Fi and tap the arrow to the right of the LAN to which your iPad says that it is connected. If the IP is 169... then you are not getting an IP from your router. Try resetting the router, updating the firmware or restoring it to factory settings. Some older routers do not like newer machines.

    As the guy said only one device be it laptop/smartphone/tablet allowed for every guest in hotel. allowed. Even if you didn't told them, they can do that thru  mac address filtering. Having lots of device accessing a Wifi Hotspot degrade speeds. It also deter those who just loiter hotels just to gain free internet. In some small hotels, where there is no IT person to do the job, one can connect as much devices as one have once he gets the password.
    Ahh! I see. I have personally never come across this in any of the hotels I have stayed in. Mac filtering would be difficult to implement because it would be impossible to exactly pinpoint the exact location of every signal down to the nearest room, unless they are every guest to register a mac address. Perhaps then a bit of mac cloning might to the job. 
    Anyway, still of the opinion that a second set of transceivers and antennas would probably not fit in the current sized package which will render it unfeasible since most users do not require this feature. It would have to be the size of a typical router/repeater. Would make more sense to have it in the laptops where there is more space available. Don't think I have come across any laptops with double radios either. 

  • Time Capsule and Wifi internet radios

    So I bought the Time Capsule to replace by old USRobotics router and am so far relatively impressed, apart from the problems in backing up that are filling up this topic. Who said Apple "just works", I wonder?
    However I have had to keep my router going, because both of my Wifi internet radios will not work with the Time Capsule, whether it is set to 802.11n only, or even g/n. Only the signal from the b/g router will work.
    Has anyone got a Wifi internet radio to work with a Time Capsule alone, and if so, how?

    Bought the time capsule in Oct 2013.  I have a Sagemcom 2864 modem from Bell but used through Teksavvy.  The 5 ghz has been flaky until I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 I think.  I had a closer look at it and it appears that the wifi is ok.  I was thrown off by the wifi symbol being all animated in the menu bar.  I was able to ping the time capsule via wifi.  All the status lights on the modem looked ok.  Next time it happens, I'll see if I can get some more details.  Do you know if there's anyway to get some logs from the airport utility?

  • Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber

    Time Capsule drops wifi/internet connection and flashes amber.  I've tried unplugging it and my modem but it continues to do this every so often.  The time capsule is out in the open, so I don't think it's a heat issue.  It's running firmware 7.7.3.  Anyone else having this issue?  Any suggestions on how to fix it?  It's driving me crazy!

  • Extreme Network - Can't get 2 Macs on internet

    So, I have an Extreme base station with 3 remotes (one for printer). I added a second mac, and can't get both on the internet at one time. It looks like the base station is set up to connect to the internet and work as a router for hte computers (its a PPOE connection), but I can't get it to work that way -- instead, each computer has to PPOE in and only one at a time seems to work. Any ideas what the problem might be? Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

  • After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont  get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

    I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
    A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
    I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to.  A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
    After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
    I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work.  I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
    anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
    If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it!  a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters.  I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
    tha
    nks in advance for any assistance.

    I am having the same problem.  The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7.  I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

  • How do I only use the wifi internet because I don't want to use my mobile data because I don't have Internet on my price plan?

    How do I only use the wifi internet because I don't want to use my mobile data because I don't have Internet on my price plan and its costing me money?

    Well, if you are running iOS 6.0 or later.
    The option supposed to be in Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Data---Off & Enable 3G---Off
    I think you'd better check the settings in Privacy>Location Services.
    Some items in it need Cellular data like"setting time zone" and "Find my iPhone'.

  • I need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store.

    I spilled some red wine on my keyboard and i cannot connect to the internet any more. it says on the internet icon: Wi-fi: no harware installes. so i guess i need to get a new wifi card for my mac air. do i have to buy this from a apple store? i live fare away from an apple store. Also, I do have a macbook with software system:
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). can I take out the wifi card from that mack and use that one for my mac air?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Consider yourself lucky that your MacBook is still working. Now, turn it off. Wine may have damaged other parts of your computer.
    Then, take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be a very expensive repair, as it's not covered by warranty and the logic board has to be replaced. In some cases, it may be better to get a new MacBook.
    If you can't take it to an Apple Store, contact with Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Why don't I get MMS over wifi?

    I don't know if this is a carrier issue (Simple Mobile) or a Firefox OS issue, but I can only receive MMS using my data plan. If I'm connected to a wireless netowrk/wifi hotspot, I do not receive MMS messages (in the case of group texts) or I get the message but cannot download the attached photo without turning wifi off and using the SIM card data.
    There are two situations that I'm dealing with. First, when iphone users (and maybe others? Androids don't seem to do this) send an SMS message to multiple recipients, it comes as an MMS. If I'm home and connected to wifi I don't get the message or any indication that a message was sent. I leave the house (and the wifi network) and suddenly get a bunch of messages that are hours old.
    Second, if anyone sends me a text with a photo attached, I get the text portion and then it says it is "Downloading ..." but the photo won't actually download until I turn wireless off.
    SMS messages come through just fine.
    I believe that I was able to get MMS via wifi at some point when I first got the phone but I'm not actually sure of that.

    I was always able to recieve photos in SMS messages on my Android phone on Sprint. On my FirefoxOS phone on Simple, I cannot. I did contact Simple Mobile. This is their reply:

    Those are the settings I already had. Per Ralph, I tried [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046517#c12 adding MMS Port and Proxy settings]: under Settings > Cellular and Data > Message Settings I added
    > mms proxy: 216.155.165.50
    > mms port: 8080
    I am still not able to send or recieve photos while connected to wifi.

  • My imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ?

    my imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good, sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ? Is there software available to tune up my imac?

    If this is Internet related, the slow downs can be caused by increased user activity on your ISP's server.
    The more people on your ISP's server doing things on the Internet, the slower your connection will be.
    Is there certain times of the day when you notice  the Internet is slow?
    If so, that's probably the reason.
    Also, do you share a connection with anyone else? Either on WiFi or Ethernet?
    That will slow your connection, too!
    Do you know what your Internet download speeds are?
    Not a high enough bandwidth and slow downs will be more evident.
    If on a WiFi, is the router you are you using 802.11 B, G, or N speeds?
    Might be time from a newer, faster router?
