How to use iPhone as modem for Airport Extreme?

My modem is kinda dead, but still I need to keep the network running.
Is there any way to use an iPhone as modem for Airport?
Heeeeelp!

Is there any way to use an iPhone as modem for Airport?
To do this, the iPhone would need to provide a wired Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme. Even if this might be possible, it would require some major....and likely unsupported surgery.
Suggest that you post in the iPhone support area for questions about the iPhone.

Use HH2 as modem for Linksys router

OK, so i have BT broadband and the HH2. I live in a flat with 5 other people, and we need the QoS capabilities of the Linksys WRT54GL.
To get internet working i need to use the HH2 as a modem that plugs into the Linksys router.
Iv followed a few guides on these forums but none of them worked.
S basically right now the HH2 is connected to the ADSL line then from its ethernet port 1 its connected to the linksys's internet ethernet port. I have disabled firewalls on both devices and DHCP on the linksys.
I am now stuck for ideas...
So please could someone give me step by step instructions on how to get this setup to work?
Thanks alot

1. Using a PC wired into the current router, unplug it from the wired connection and plug into a LAN port on the secondary router. Access the secondary router using your browser via its default LAN IP address and default password. Since the PC was attached to the previous router you will have tell the PC to obtain a LAN IP from the new device. Use 'ipconfig release/renew' on the PC.
2. On the secondary router (hereafter called the AP)
a. change the default password to a minimum combination of 8 letters/numbers/symbols.
b. Change the ESSID to a unique name and make all the necessary wireless configurations.
Note: If attaching a WiFi router as an AP/switch to an existing wifi network, one should keep the ESSIDs the same for seamless roaming, or separate if one wants to manually decide which AP to connect to. Also, ensure channel separation (1-6-11 common for three devices).
3. In the AP, go to the LAN setup page:
a. Turn DHCP serving OFF.
b. Change the LAN IP of the AP from its default so that it lies within the subnet of the primary router but preferably outside the dynamic LAN IP range of the primary router. (examples below)
c. Disable or turn RIP off, if there is that option.
d. Disable or turn off Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support (if any).
4. Plug the PC back into the wired connection and repeat the process of getting new LAN IP. A reboot of the PC may be needed.
5. Plug the AP into the router, LAN port TO LAN port directly or via switch/patch panel etc. (NOT into the WAN socket...)
6. It may be necessary to reboot one or both routers but one should be able to assign LAN IPs wirelessly and connect at this point, ensuring WiFi card setup properly.
Example:
Primary Router
LAN IP 192.168.1.1
old Dynamic DHCP Pool 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.xx
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Will need to change Dynamic DHCP pool
new DCHP Pool 192.168.1.33 - 192.168.1.xx (for example)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Secondary Router (our Access Point)
old LAN IP 192.168.0.1 -or any other default
Will need to change LAN IP to be within subnet of primary.
new LAN IP 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Shouldn't need a crossover cable (most routers are intelligent enogh to realise what they're connecting to)
Hope this helps...

Use 3GS as modem... tethering without giving up unlimited plan

I don't want to give up my unlimited data plan and I want to tether my 3gs to my mackbook pro. Any solutions?
Message was edited by: tater_jake

The tethering plan is completely separate from the iPhone's data plan so it is not irrelevant, but I can answer it for you - you haven't used over 1GB of data in a month or anywhere close to it which is why you don't want to answer the question.
The iPhone's data plan required with the separate tethering plan includes 2GB of data for the iPhone, which you would be hard pressed to exceed or get anywhere close to. The tethering plan and limit is completely separate which applies when tethering only.
Somebody told me (a customer service rep from att) that there is a way, but he could not give me specifics.
Too funny. Since the only way this would be possible is with and by AT&T, I wonder why this AT&T customer service rep could not give you specifics?

Can Apple iPhones be used as an Internet modem for computers?

Hello.
Can Apple iPhones (e.g., 4S and its iOS v7.1.2), with its data plan (e.g., 2 GB Verizon Wireless 3G), be used as Internet modems for computers (Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Windows XP+, and Linux/Debian [stable])? If so, then how?
Thank you in advance.

They can be used both as a USB-connected modem and as a Wi-FI hotspot. Wi-FI Hotspot tends to be the easiest to configure. To turn it on, you'll need to go to Settings > Personal Hotspot and configure the few settings that appear in the menu.
Note that on some older plans, Hotspot or Tethering requires additional payment to use if I remember correctly. On Share Everything plans this is included.
Let's say an iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) has Verzion Wireless' 2 GB data plan used for its 3G Internet stuff. It already has the requirements to provide. Just need to enable its wifi hotspot for other devices to connect to. Am I correct?

IPHONE 3GS AS MODEM

I just want to ask if my IPHONE 3GS can be use as a modem for internet connection to my laptop, similar to some Nokia cellphones? and if can be use, what are the procedure for it?
Tnx.

According to Apple's information, Globe Telecom does offer tethering. You'll have to ask them if there is any extra cost involved.
Please note that you will not get support, including warranty service, from Apple in the Philippines for a iPhone you purchased in Saudi Arabia. So you may be best advised to sell your SA iPhone before you leave to go home and purchase a new iPhone when you are back in the Philippines.
Regards.

Can I get a replacement modem for free?

I am currently using Westell 327W Modem for Verizon DSL. Can I get a replacement modem for free if I suspect my current one is not working properly?

It's very possible you could get one sent to you for free. Doesn't hurt to try and ask for one over the phone. It might result in sending back the 327w however.
What issue are you having with the 327w though? We might be able to solve it.

Can I use iPhone 3GS as a modem for Internet browsing with PC?

I want to use my 3Gs as modem .. how?

I want to use my 3Gs as modem .. how?

Short answer is to turn on Personal Hotspot in Settings. If wifi is also on the phone becomes a wifi source and your laptop or ipad can connect to the internet through that wifi. With wifi off you can connect by Bluetooth or by plugging in with the USB charging cable to your laptop.
All of this requires that you have "tethering" capability from your cell phone provider. Some charge separately for the feature, and others include it with their bigger wireless data plans. If you use it for big downloads to the laptop you could hit your data limit, which can be expensive.

How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
Question 1:
I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error).
Can anyone help?
Question 2:
Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
Thank you, Lar

hello,
first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :
