Wifi Access for House / Harddrive restricted to admin

I just got a Time Capsule for personal use to backup my computer. My house includes 3 people who all use the current Airport Extreme. So, I have one goal and I'm not sure which is best. Right now the AE is piggy-backed to the AT&T router because it's just terrible.
1. I want to use my Time Capsule so anyone with the password can have access to the Wifi connection but restrict access to the harddrive to only me.
If that's not possible:
2. I want to not connect the TC to either router and set up a connection that only I'll have access to completely independent of the house network.
Any help would be awesome.

In AirPort Utility you can set up a Guest network that will have internet access but not any access to your desktop or the HD on the TC

  • Wifi access for short trip needed.  Was told by Verizon that my iPad (was a gift) is not Verizon enabled.  So, how do I go about getting WiFi access -- I only need it for about 2 weeks.  Would be glad to pay for a month.

    Was gifted with an iPad2.  Do not have Internet service connected to it.  Would like to purchase WIFi access for an upcoming trip.  Am a Verizon phone customer, but was told that my iPad is not a Verizon enabled iPad.  So, what should I do now?  Am aware of free Wifi access in many places, but I want to be sure to have constant access and hope some of you can teach me.  Thanks!

    To use wifi you just need access to a wifi network (and it's password if the network is password protected). If you want to be able to get online when you don't have access to a wifi network then if you have a iPhone you might be able to use that and it's network as a personal hotspot for the iPad (if your carrier supports it), or you can get mifi devices which take sim cards (and therefore also use a cellular network) and which act as mobile hotspots - for either of those to work you would need to be in area that is covered by the phone's/mifi's network

  • BT Vision killed WiFi access for my PS3 - problem ...

    I had BT Infinity Broadband and a Home Hub 2.0 working fine and could use my PS3 over a WiFi connection to the hub to watch iPlayer and play online games without any problems whatsoever.
    Then along came BTVision, which works fine cable connected to the hub using the mains LAN adapters BUT it killed the WiFi connection for my PS3.   No more online games and iPlayer/LoveFilm Bah.
    HOWEVER, After lots of messing around with the settings in the Home hub I found that the only change I needed to make to fix the problem was to change the Wireless channel on my HomeHub from the default Channel 6 to Channel 7.  I tried using other channels but Channel 7 does the business.
    I couldn't find any specific help online for this type of problem so I'm posting this resolution on the off chance that someone else will benefit from the aggravation I've just gone through.

  • Wifi access for tungsten E2

    I need to select a internet service provider for access.  I'm clueless where to begin. Should I go with the satellite wildblue.net who provides service to my home computer or something like boingo for 9.95/month?
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    To perform a HotSync, yes you normally use a USB cable and set HotSync to "Cable/Cradle".  These settings have nothing to do with going online with your Wifi card, nor with surfing the web. 
    Have you viewed the Wifi Card User Manual on the disk that came with the card?   
    There is a learning curve involved with becoming your own "Network Administrator".  Troubleshooting your router's settings is key to finding the problem.  As explained in the Wifi Checklist I wrote, you have to determine many things that can only be found by logging into your router and viewing the settings.
    Your router's transmission speed could be wrong, encryption key could be wrong, DNS numbers, etc.  Without being able to log into your router, you're stuck!
    Your router has a reset button, but if you aren't that familiar with setting one up yourself, it can be pretty daunting.   You'll need to set the router to be /b compatible, use WEP as the encryption scheme, and possibly copy the DNS numbers that your ISP is sending to the router.

  • Wifi access from my wrk54g router shows as disabled

    I've been using my wifi access for years.  Suddenly today my laptop and my phone shows my wifi connection as being disabled.  How can I re-enable the connection?  It works fine wired.
    Thanks,
    Cedj

    Where does it shoe disabled? On router or computer?
    What is the operating system on your laptop?
    If it is on laptop then go to Network connections. You will find wireless network connection. Right click on it and enable it.
    If it is on router then you will need to check the wireless settings of the router.
    Connect one computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router. Go to wireless tab. The Network mode should be mixed and Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled.

  • A tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore)

    a tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore) thanks

    Just bridge the TC and plug it by ethernet into the main router.
    Bridge in v5 airport utility.
    In v6 it is under network.. change it from DHCP and NAT to Off bridge mode.
    Turn off the wireless.

  • Purhasing an Airport Extreme especially for controlling WiFi in my house.

    I am thinking about purhasing an Airport Extreme especially for controlling WiFi in my house. To protect/limit internet use of my childeren.  Not just a single guest account but perphaps 2 or 3 with different time settings is this possible?  To my opinion it would be ideal to control it via the airport because there is no need for software and via an administration account I should be able to modify the settings

    Do you perhaps know of any good parenting tool / app that I can install on the Ipad mini of my childeren.
    As LaPastenague says, Apple expects you to set restrictions like this on the device itself. You will select a passcode when you establish the settings that you want. Only you will be able to change the settings that you have selected.....unless you provide the passcode to someone else.
    On the iPad....
    Tap Settings
    Tap General
    Tap Restrictions
    See Allow, Allowed Content, Privacy, etc.
    For more information about this, you need to post in the iPad support area. The link is here:
    Using iPad
    As far as allowed times, again as LaPastenague notes, Timed Access will allow you to do this for any device that connects using wireless.
    For example, you could limit the use of the iPad to the hours of 3 PM to 8 PM Weekdays and 8 AM to 11 PM on Weekends.
    Another device could be programmed to use the same "rules", or you could establish different "rules".
    At the same time, you could specify "Unlimited" access for your own personal computer, etc.

  • Wifi access and time restrictions

    I placed a time restriction on my kids phone where they cannot text call, etc from 10pm to 6am.  However, we do have a wifi in the house.  Can they still access services and features thru the house wifi (AT&T) with their Verizon phones?

    Yes.
    You could check your wifi router to see if there are options for restricting using through the router itself.

  • Help needed restricting users admin access to devices using ACS 4.2

    I have users that access the network via a VPN client to a PIX 515 which authenticates to the ACS (using the default group for unknown users) which uses an external Active Directory Database.
    The problem I have is that as the ACS authenticates these users, it now allows them admin access to the PIX. How do I restrict access? I have looked at NARs using the 'All AAA clients, *, *' approach but that just stops their VPN access. ( I have a separate group called 'PIX ACCESS' which will contained only defined users for admin access).
    Incidentally I have other devices on the network which are AAA clients, in particular Nortel switches. I can set the group settings for that RADIUS set up to 'Authenticate Only' (RADIUS Nortel option) and that works fine, I was expecting the ACS to have a similar setting for TACACS+.
    So how do I allow the unknown users to authenticate to their AD database but restrict them admin access to the AAA clients?

    Very common problem. I've solved it twice over the last 6 years with ACS. I'm sketchy on the details. But here goes. First option to explore is using RADIUS for VPN access, then TACACS on all the Cisco switches and PIX firewall. That would make it alot easier. I think that with TACACS, you can build a NAR based on TCP port number instead of IP address....
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2086/products_tech_note09186a0080858d3c.shtml
    So you'd have a group with 3-4 Administrators that can access PIX CLI, and another group of VPN users that can't access the PIX but can VPN in. So on the VPN group, put a NAR that restricts access to SSH/Telnet TCP ports?
    This comes up everytime I install an ACS server, (every 2-3 years), and it's always a trick.
    Please let me know if this works for you. And if it doesn't, let us know how you fixed it. I think I can get back into the ACS I last did this with and take a look, but I'd have to call up and make a special trip.

  • Restricting access for import manager and syndicator

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know whether is there any way on how we can restrict the access to import manger and syndicator.
    I have one scenario whether user needs to be given the access to data manager only but not to other components.It is ok if they are able to open but should not be able to import or syndicate.
    Please help in this
    Thanks
    Nitin

    Hi Nitin,
    No i get your point Nitin,I said if a unwanted user logs into Import manager he can try to add/modify/replace record,this can be stopped if he is not given the rights.For this go to Console,Admin table and goto Roles and set rights and privileges on that.
    whenever a user logs into Import Manager he has to give his user id and password,and from there we can control this.
    If he tries to import records,it will fail.also if he tries to modify map,it wil fail too.
    To get a clearer picture try doing it for one user and run this scenario.
    An excerpt froim reference guide:
    "The groups and functions displayed in the Name column are listed in Table 89; access privileges for each function are directly editable in the Functions pane"
    record - Add records
     Modify records
     Modify checked out records
     Delete records
     Merge records
     Merge checked out records
     Protect records
     Unprotect records
     Check out records
     Check out new records
     Check in owned records
     Roll back owned records
     Check in non-owned records
     Roll back non-owned records
     Modify join permissions for non-owned records
    Consolidation and distribution - Add import maps
     Modify import maps
     Delete import maps
     Add syndication maps
     Modify syndication maps
     Delete syndication maps
     Enable key mappin
    You can control these setting privileges in Console.

  • TS1398 i have a iPhone 4. I am trying to connect to the Wifi at my house, and other places that have free WiFi. I can not get the phone to access any networks in order to connect. Could someone please help me try to figure this out.

    I just recently purchased a iPhone 4. I am using it as Prepaid for Verizon. I only get a certain amount of data time, and was trying to use the wifi at my house in order to do somethings online without using my prepaid data, but for some reason it will not pick up the wifi at all, and when i try all the different things I have been told to try it still does not work, how do I get the wifi to work?

    You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.

  • How can I turn mac mini into wifi access point for iPhone?

    Hi,
    I do not have a wifi router.
    I want my iPhone to be able to use my broadband internet instead of the slow EDGE internet.
    The simple solution would be to buy a wifi router whih would enable my iPhone to access the wifi home network.
    *What if I could turn the mac mini into a wifi access point?* That would save me from the hassle of buying a wifi router.
    Any idea how to do this??
    Message was edited by: d00by666

    I did this.
    I think I am doing something wrong. I am doing something wrong in this setting *from ethernet to airport*.
    see attached screenshot.
    To start Internet sharing on a computer using Mac OS X:
    1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
    2. Select how you would like to share your Internet connection, and then click Start. You
    can choose to share your Internet connection with AirPort-enabled computers,
    computers with built-in Ethernet, or both.
    Note:
    If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in
    Ethernet, for example), contact your ISP before you turn on Internet sharing. In some
    cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the
    network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to
    prevent you from disrupting its network.
    3. If you want to share your Internet connection with computers using AirPort, click
    AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.

  • Restrict read/edit access for a Manager, when Manager Visibility is enabled

    Customer wants to restrict read/edit access for a Manager on his/her subordinates' owned record, if manager Visibility is enabled at the company level.
    For example: If SM1 is a manager of SR1 and SM1 owner profile says that he has Edit Access on his owned records then, he will get Edit Access
    on the records owned by his sales rep.
    Current requirement here is Manager should not be able to edit the records of his sales rep but should able to only View. And manager also
    need the Edit/Read access on the records which they owned.
    Is there a possible workaround ?

    I have devised this to our customer:
    First, create a custom text field named "Reports To" on the object, say, Accounts.
    Second, user JoinFieldValue to set a default value for the "Reports To" field: equal to the "Reports To" User field value for the current owner.
    Third, add a new value named "Manager Read-Only" to 'Account Type' picklist. make sure that this picklist value is active.
    Fourthly, add a new page layout marking all Account Fields as 'read-only' and name it "Account Read-Only layout".
    Fifthly, create a new Account Dynamic Layout and set "Account Read-Only layout"
    for Field Type = "Manager Read-Only".
    Sixthly, create a new workflow rule condition for Account object ( before modified record saved ). Use the workflow rule condition similar to UserValue('<Alias>') = [<ReportsTo>] and set the workflow action to update 'Account Type' picklist value to
    "Manager Read-Only".
    This is just an example. Customer needs to improvise on this.
    Any more suggestions please ?
