Wifi capability blocked...

i have the blackberry pearl that has wifi but i do not have a data plan with my service provider cincinnati bell. i thought this would be ok since my brother has an unlocked iphone and is able to access our home wireless network but somehow it is being blocked by either my blackberry or cincinnati bell. i have called cincinnati bell and they werent any use, probably because they want me to get a data plan. is there anyway to remove whatever is blocking me from using the networks? i can open the browser, see the networks, attempt at connecting to the networks but every time it says there is some sort of restriciton. PLEASE HELP the wifi was one of the key reasons i got a blackberry. THANK YOU!

hi there, can you PLEASE tell me how you unblocked it because I'm having the exact same problem! thanks

Can I use my IMac OS 10.4 (old) to set up a wifi router, such as Airport Base, so I can have a wifi connection for the iPhone I plan to buy? My IMac is not wifi capable.

Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy. My IMac is not wife capable.

Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.

HT3500 How can I add WPS (pin) [for a WiFi capable CAMERA] to Time Capsuale WiFi

Hi,
How can I add WPS (pin) [for a WiFi capable CAMERA] to Time Capsuale WiFi network?
Regards

I suggest that you use the Add Wireless Clients feature in AirPort Utility.
Normally, this feature is used to add a wireless printer, but it will work with any wireless device.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab at the very top of the screen
Click Add Wireless Clients

I'm in the process of creating a WiFi network from my IMac to my LG HDTV. I am incorporating a LG WiFi capable Blu-ray player and will purchase an Apple Express or Apple Extreme router. I need some advise on using this aquipment.

I need help in determining the best way to create a WiFi network from my IMAC to a WiFi capable LG Blu-Ray player that will connect to my LG HDTV. Since I will only need one network I need to know which is the best Apple Airport router to use (Express or Extreme). What is the correct way to connect these units? It seem self explanitory,but I'm checking my thinking. My HDTV is about 20' from where the airport router will be installed with a wall between them. Has anyone created this network? Is this the best way to create a WiFi network?

Recommend new colour laser printer? Small and wifi capable for latest apple products,

Which new colour laser printer? I need small as possible, but wifi capable for latest apple products (OS 10.7 and mobile iOS 5). Not used wifi printing before, so getting confused with specs. Not high usage, want better speed than inkjet

You mentioned some office-level multifunction copier, though, costing more: which one would that be?
The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2225 with the Booklet Finisher-M1. This finisher will fold and saddle-stitch your booklet on the fly for up to 5 sheets of A4 paper - making a 20 page booklet. And the printer driver for OS X will re-order the pages in your document so you don't have to get the page order correct before you send the print job.

Is the new nano wifi capable?

is it?

If you go to the online Apple store, select iPod Nano (new), and select iPod Nano Technical Specs you can find out for yourself. There is does not mention wifi, therefore the new iPod nano is not wifi capable.

Yoga 2 13 : wifi hard blocked

Hello,
Sorry for my "English"..I'm French :-)
I bought recently an Lenovo Yoga 2 13 inch.
Since few days, Windows doesn't let me activate my Wifi card.
It is well configured...it's a REALTEK card inside.
I use now an USB ethernet adapter to have access to Internet (and to have the capacity to create a post on this forum ).
I don't remember exactly when this occured.
I think it was after the "tablet mode" but I'm not sure of that because I tried that before and that worked.
I tried a lot of solutions :
- Windows 8.1 option to enable the Wifi => can't be done, it writes that in "grey" color
- disable/enable the wifi card
- connect/disconnect the wifi card
- configurate an static ip address => cmd / ipconfig doesn't show the ip address, so that really means that the Wifi card is not activated
- auto-diagnostic Windows
- Windows device manager=> the card is well configured
- Windows system restore to a previous point where the wifi card worked => it is still disabled
- Lenovo system restore factory settings => it is still disabled
With this last point, I think the problem is at the hard level.
I read other solution using an Live Linux and using the "rfkill" command.
Result :
root@ubuntu:~# rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes
2: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
root@ubuntu:~# rfkill unblock all
root@ubuntu:~# rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: yes
2: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
I tried to unblock specifically the wifi card....same result!
The card is still "Hard blocked".
No change when I start again under Windows 8.1.
Any help is welcome...Thank you so much for your attention and participation. :-)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

mine has intel card and had the same issue. and i accidently fixed mine today.
I first tried with livecd fedora 20 , and tried rfkill method but did not seem to fix. tried to update the kernel but could not because the limitation of livecd.
then i tried to do full installation of fedora 20 to a usb, booted up with the usb , did kernel update, install rfkill, installed kernel-devel (which i planned to use for compiling ideapad-laptop fix ) then rebooted the laptop into new kernel.
When I was about to compile the ideapad-laptop fix that posted around the internet, i ran 'rfkill list all' to check the status, magically all blocks were gone, and my laptop wifi started working again. I don't have any logical explaination for what happened. just posted here hopefully it will help someone here.
i feel the agony everyone has with this issue, and lenovo support and response is extremely disappointing.
To summary what I did.
installed FC20 livecd to usb A
boot from usb A to do full install to usb B
boot from usb B , update kernek, install rfkill and kernel-devel
reboot from usb B with updated kernel
suddenly , 'rfkill list all' shows all blocks are gone.
still no logical explaination how this solved the issue.

Wifi router blocks access after some time.

So i have router lynksys WRT120N and the latest 1.0.0.7 firmware. And the problem occured frequently. I'll explain for example what happened yesterday.
At about 13.00 i went out, wifi was working okay. At around 18.00 i returned home and i was trying to connect to the wifi with my android phone, and suprisingly it did not work. I tried on my laptop and on a android tablet. It did not work. The only thing that i could figure it out is to reset the router. I checked the settings, and there was no access policy e.g. time based access blocking.
any ideas?
cheers

You're welcome.

WiFi Service Blocked

I am travelling internationally and after a week, I am suddenly no longer able to send or receive emails over wifi.
When I try to send an email, I get an X with a Status: Service Blocked
I suspended my Virgin Mobile service for the month that I am away since they do not provide roaming coverage outside the USA.
I am in Costa Rica and am able to visit some websites (i.e. Google News Espana), but not all (i.e. Google). This is annoying. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I should get an android phone?

I use my own WiFi in my home. This is not provided by my BB carrier but unless the BB carrier enables the device to operate wirelessly it doesn't work.
When I leave my home I can connect to WiFi "hotspots" provided by my home internet provider but only if my BB has it enabled it which it has.
You cannot "roam" with your providers service but that shouldn't prevent wireless connection to, say, your hotel WiFi UNLESS, by suspending your carrier service, the phone is no longer enabled.
The instructions for the BB clearly says "and your wireless service plan supports it." By virtue of your suspending your service, you may have fallen foul of this statement because you have effectively cancelled the service no doubt thinking why pay for the phone service when you won't be there to use it.
This isn't a BB issue - or I will be most surprised if it is - its one of not having a suitable data plan attached to it. Hence the reason to suggest trying to buy a temporary service for the duration of your visit.
Somone far clever than I, may be able to suggest a differnt approach; but fundamentally, no plan means no service.
I suppose you could try and contact your carrier.

Wifi access blocks certain apps; workaround?

Ok o I go ta a college which has a wifi network. The connection allows me to connect to the internet with my browser but will not let me connect through mail.app and other applications. this is important because I have my Gmail account set to delete messages on the server when I download them via POP so if I need to download an attachment from mail.app, I can't. Also it doesnt let me connect to most applications on the iPhone except Safari. I would to be able to use Mobilechat, twitterific, Facebook or Pandora when I'm on campus. Is there any workaround?
Newbie, thanks.

Try using an IMAP account in Gmail. In the advanced tab of account preferences under “Keep copies of messages for offline viewing” pop-up menu, select "All messages and their attachments".
When you go offline, you’re disconnected from the server. Any changes you make to messages are made to the local copies of the messages. When you go back online, any changes you made offline are copied to the server.
I have found this to be the best way to work around public networks that block the ports for email on their servers. You can find more information on IMAP in the help section of mail.app.

I'm wanting to use AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G unit as my household internet device and don't know whether I can with this pc or not.

Thnx

Hi,
There are hundreads of models for this series, what is your model ? One way to check: look at the Device manager, under Network adapters. Can you see anthing called Wireless or Wi-Fi or similar in the following image ?

Want to enhance wifi strength - router in one room, wifi capable computer in another

I need to enhance the wifi signal in my home in order to utilize a wifi ready computer on another floor. The wifi indicates 2 out of 5 bars on the wifi indicator, but frequently loses the signal completely. I have several coaxial ports around the house and have heard that there is an old school Motorola device out there that I can use to boost the wifi signal.
I am using the router in the room where the fios wire enters the residence and want to leave it there....any suggestions?

The "old school Motorola" device is MoCA bridge. It will provide an Ethernet port active on your LAN anywhere you have coax. You'd then need to plug a WiFi access point or router into the Ethernet port.
Or, you could pickup an old Actiontec WiFi router online and use it as a single bridge and access point.
There are lots of discussions of how to do this in these forums. Spend some time searching and looking around and you'll find them.

I bought a Power Mac in March, 2008. Does this machine have WiFi capability? If it does how can I initiate WiFi?

I bought a Power Mac (Mac Pro?) in March, 2008. Does this machine have Wi Fi capability? If it does how can I initiate Wi Fi?

Look on the MenuBar. A Mac with no Wi-FI will shows a distinctive completely grayed-out Wi-Fi Icon (not just a black outline.)
Or look in About this Mac > ( More Info ) > Report > system report > Network > Wi-Fi
Installed Hardware always shows the many channels available. If none are listed, you likely do not have the correct adapter installed.
These adapters are available on the Used market and Amazon. Installation is fussy because everything is so small, and there are several antenna wires to attach correctly.
There are two models, and most sellers know which Macs they apply to. Installing the wrong one sometimes means you cannot do a software Upgrade.
