Wifi dongle for ipad
I have a wifi only iPad, and am currently staying somewhere with no wifi, i'm wondering if there is any type of hotspot/dongle I can buy which will allow me to get my iPad onto wifi?
Google mifi. It's a cellular device that you use as a wifi hotspot for your iPad. see the article below to get more info.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiFi
Or if you have a iPhone you can use it for a wifi hotspot.

hello just had loads of problems while in goa with my ipad thought idea of the ipad was for compact use and travel i took with me so i could check emails etc but struggled to find wifi can you get a pay as you go dongle for it has i am going to greece soon many thanks
If you didn't buy the 3G version of the iPad you can get a Mi-fi device, which creates a local WiFi network from a 3G connection.
For travelling purposes, you'll need an unlocked Mi-fi device and a local 3G SIM in whichever countries you visit. -
Can you use your Iphone as a wifi-hub for Ipad?
Is it possile to buy the Ipad2 wifi and then use your Iphone Data plan to connect your ipad to 3G network? Therefore using my iphone as a wifi-hub for the Ipad instead of paying for another data plan?
Absolutely you can do this. If you have iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and your carrier offers a tethering plan, you can certainly use that to give your iPad a wifi hotspot anywhere you have 3G service. AT&T offers tethering. There is additional cost and for anyone who had an ulimited data plan with AT&T, they will have to give up the unlimited option and agree to a capped data plan. Currently, that option costs $45/month and includes (I believe) 4GB of data/month.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Which wifi dongle for 46TL938?
Hi,
I'm having trouble figuring out which wifi dongle is compatible with my 46TL938. Some sources say the WLM-20U2 should work, but others list it as incompatible.
Can anyone give me a definitive answer about which wifi dongle I should buy for my tv?Trying to get accurate information from an electronics store is asking for trouble, I'm pretty sure you understand that ;) I'd like to be sure that what I buy works for my tv.
Like I said, I just want to know which one I should buy.
I think it's the WLM-20U2, but as I said, I am not sure due to conflicting information on the net, and poor information supplied by Toshiba. -
Apple TV or Sony Wifi Dongle for Sony Bravia TV??
Hi,
I have just recently bought a Sony Bravia 40" TV. To access the internet capabilities i need a Sony Wifi Dongle.
I already have a Macbook Pro and 2 iPhones that are used within the house on the wireless network. Was wondering if i should get the Sony Wifi Dongle or skip that and get Apple TV which is about the same price??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
AndrewI have a similar set up. However, before getting my ATV3, I had gotten a
ZyXEL 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point, Ethernet Client, Universal Repeater, and Range Extender (WAP3205) to use as a wireless Ethernet bridge to my TV. It's about 1/2 the price of the ATV, but it is only a bridge--no subscription service, etc.
Having said that, the ATV is amazing! The only shortcoming is that it doesn't offer Hulu Plus service at this time. The upside is that you will be able to access services through your iPhone and mirror them to your TV through your ATV--and you can get app on your iPhone. (Lastly, you WILL eventually succumb and get the ATV.)
Hope that helps your decision.
(BTW, I did not hook the ZyXEL directly to my Sony Bravia, but to my Sony Blu-ray player.)

No internet connection despite having a strong wifi connection for iPad 2
Hey all,
My wife's iPad 2 just stopped being able to surf the internet or use apps which require an internet connection. It connects to our home wifi network just fine and shows strong signal strength, but when she goes to use something requiring a connection to the internet, it tells her that she has no connection to the internet.
Anybody else have some tips as to what to do? I've read the link discussing Apple's recommended fixes but none of it described the specific problem we're having.

Best wifi router for iPad 2 on TalkTalk broadband
I need to choose a wifi router to suit my new iPad 2. I have not used wifi yet. I understand that many people have big problems with iPad wifi connections. I have TalkTalk broadband at about 4 Mbs.
TalkTalk supports only the following wifi routers: D-Link DSL: 2640R, 2740R, 2680, 2780
Huawei: HG 521 & 532, Echolife HG 5206
Netgear: DGN 2000, DG 8346 V3 & above, DG 834PN
Please would anybody who knows any of these models tell me how suitable they would be?
Thank you.The best router for all Apple products is the AirPort Extreme...should be compatible with any broadband modem but you will have to check with your ISP to see if they have any issues with it.

Whats the main difference between wifi and wifi Cellular for iPad mini?
Can someone explain to me in simple terms the main difference/benefit of buying a wifi or a wifi + cellular iPad? I thought the cellular meant you would have a sim card in it and you can then connect to the internet when you are not near a wifi, but now looking at the specs again it mentions a sim card for the wifi one, so what are you getting extra for the cellular technology?
Aloha Karl. You're welcome. I'm still new to all this technology myself. I only had my iPad for a year and a half. Up until a few years ago I had no plans to to ever have anything to do with computers. Fortunately a few friends showed me what was available on the internet and another friend suggested I should give the iPad a look at. The rest is history. At 63 I'm still like a kid with a new toy, trying to learn, trying to help. Bob.

Any update on wifi disconnect for Ipad Air 2? Jan 11, 1015
Lots of documentation of many people with the same problem. None of our other devices including iphone 6 phones do not have this problem. I will be returning this Christmas gift within 2 days if there is not a fix. This is too frustrating.
Hello ahyankee,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPad will disconnect from the WiFi. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Mac Mini PPC and Usb wifi dongle?
So I have a ppc mac mini and I purchased a wifi dongle for it. (not the Belkin one)
I have drivers for it that appear to be correct, everything installs fine.
However when I go to network to configure the device there is no option to choose usb as a network interface. The only options are firewire, or internal modem.
I'm sure this has been addressed but I've searched and search.Sorry wow been a long time since I was here, but things have progressed ... somewhat.
Turns out there were specific drivers that I was not in possession of. The manufacturer supplied them and I thought all was good.
Turns out I'm having another problem now that it took some time to figure out ...
The dongle works for a time, but seems to get booted from my router or something after going to sleep or rebooting.
The weird thing is that the dongle software itself and the mac os think its connected, it shows an IP address that isn't on my network.
If I reboot the router and then reset my IP on the mac mini it will work until it goes to sleep or reboots.
I updated my Linksys WRT54G to DDWRT to see if that would fix things but even with new firmware and reset settings only this mac is affected by this problem. Also the dongle doesn't do it on any other computer.
So its mac mini/dongle/router specific ...
