Wifi besides AirPort for iPad?

Are there other wifi devices besides AirPort that will work to connect hotel room wired internet to iPad? I have an iPad 1st generation and will be trying to use it in hotels in Japan that mostly have wired only in the rooms. Is thereanything that folks love or hate? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply - we actually managed to solve it by removing some extra devices from using Wifi, so it seems like It was an update to the firmware (as you thought)  which limited the number of devices on wifi at once. Thank you though!

    How do you set up airport for use with an iPad?

    Just set it up using your iPad and AirPort Utility (App Store).

  • Wifi working fine for iPad but none of my MacBooks can connect to wifi why?

    My iPad connects to my wifi network just fine, but none of the three laptops in the house connect. One is a one-year-old MacBook Air, another is a Pro around seven years old, and one's even older than that running an older OS (Lion) so the age of the laptop doesn't seem to be a factor. The phones also connect the the wifi network, it's just the laptops. What happens is the wifi tries to find a network, then doesn't connect to any, although our network shows up in the drop-down menu of networks. But if you click on it an error message comes up that says a connection timeout occurred and offers to run diagnostics (It doesn't offer diagnostics on the oldest laptop). Turning wifi on and off, going into network preferences, restarting the computers and the router, none of it does anything. The same issue happened yesterday, identical in every way, but it worked after turning the wifi on and off. This time it's been severeal hours and it shows no signs of fixing itself.

  • Are there any free WiFi scanning tools for iPad?

    such as inSSIDer available.
    Thanks

    The short answer is, No.  iTunes had some Wi-Fi sniffers, but banned them and pulled them from the store before the iPad was released about four years ago.  It's a shame really.
    I use something simular to inSSIDer on a HP touch pad running Ice Cream Sandwich, very handy.  The network tool I use most on iOS is Scanny, which is just a port scanner, great for checking my server for leaks.

  • What are the optimum wifi router settings for ipad mini

    My new iPad Mini WiFi access is really slow on my home WiFi network.  All my other WiFi devices are working fine.  I have a D-Link DIR655 Wireless Router - What are the optimum router setting to ensure compatibility with the iPad?

    I'm having the same issue with a TP-LINK router.

  • I forgot my wifi network password for iPad 2. Where do I find it? Can't seem to find it in user guide.

    Anyone know where I can find how to lookup my wifi network password in the user guide? I set it up so long ago I forgot it.

    I assume that you mean in your WiFi router user manual, because you won't find that information in the iPad manual user guide.
    See if this is of some help.

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • My daugther' iphone id under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  Wife now has an ipad and looking at using the existing id for set up? Would like to establish new id for daughter and not lose or share music/photos?

    My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id.  My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up?   Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id.  Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?

    well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

  • My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home.  The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone.  How can I fix my MacBook?

    My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home.  The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer.  My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere.  The only problem is at home.
    The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work.  Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi.  However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
    Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode.  So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
    Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
    What do you recommend I do?
    Thanks!
    PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

    Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
    What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

  • Hi, I am looking for a printing solution for iPads in the office space, my question is how can I print from iPads and if the iPads are connected to a wifi router on a network would I be able to print from a networked printer?

    Hi
    We are looking at placing iPads in our offices but need to understand the printing options available? I have a number of questions?
    1/ Would I be able to print to a networked printer?
    2/ what would be the best WIFI Printer available for extensive printing?
    3/ Are there any other printing options available?
    Thank you in advance!

    The roll over logs all have the same name exact the extension is .lo_ , So.. I'm not sure what you are looking for.

    What router are you using? make/model/version
    What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
    If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).
