Will connecting my iPhone 5 to my home VPN increase my data speeds?

Will connecting my iPhone 5 to my home VPN increase my data speeds?
As you are aware Sprint definitely does not have the fastest data speeds. I am constantly stuck on 3G while inside. I was wondering if I setup my phone to be connected to a VPN if that will help increase the data speed?

Sorry, let me clarify I will be connecting to the VPN while I am at work. When at home I am on the WiFi

  • I cannot connect my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When trying to connect it says I have the wrong password, but I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have tried to restart my router, reset my network settings, fail!

    Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
    The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
    I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
    The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
    My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

  • Trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available???

    trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available?? and if so, where is it located???

    No such option on an iPhone.  Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

  • IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

    My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network  ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
    open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2  and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

    When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter?  If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking.  What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router.  And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters. 

  • Connecting an iPhone/iPad to RV220W's VPN

    Hi
    I am looking to purchase the RV220W router. I am interested to know if I can use the iPhone/iPad to create a VPN connection to this router.
    I have seen a lot of conflicting information about this so I am looking for a confirmation .
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hello,
    Just to people with the same challange:
    I can confirm that it´s possible to connect with iOS (iPhone 4S iOS Version 6.0.1) to RV220W (Firmware 1.0.4.17)
    Steps on RV220W:
         1) Enable Remote Mangement (Administration-->Remotemanagement-->Remotemanagment enable
         2) Activate PPTP Server on RV220W (VPN-->IPSec-->VPN Users)
         3) Create User for PPTP Access (VPN-->IPSec-->VPN Users) Protocoll: "PPTP"
    Steps on iPhone
         1) Create new VPN Connection (Setting-->General-->VPN--> Add VPN Configuration
         2) Choose "PPTP"
              as "tekliu" above mentioned:
              RSA SecureID:OFF
              Encryption Level: AUTO
              Send All Traffic: ON
              Proxy: OFF

  • Will re-syncing iPhone to a new iTunes installation delete app data?

    As per topic above. Recently reformatted my computer before I was able to do any backups (Just couldn't get into Windows).
    Now I have re-installed everything and have synced my iPhone with a new iTunes library, but I have not synced my apps as I am scared that whatever data on the apps on my iPhone will be deleted.
    Will this happen?

    Basically wjosten's advice worked for me. I had wiped my MBP and installed Snow Leopard but forgot to make a backup of my itunes library. My main concern was the app data. I followed the instructions but chickened out at step 8 when iTunes warned me that it would erase the phone and ..." so I cancelled to just make sure I had everything right but it went ahead and made some weird sync anyway which left about 20% of my apps on the phone. So I restored from that backup I made at Step 6 and this time said ok to the sync at step 8.
    But then I checked the sync apps checkbox but either didn't realise or something happened that meant all the apps were unchecked. Next thing I see is "removing {app name}" which started freaking me out. I'm not sure what to do from this point so I started checking all the apps and pressed apply. However, it may work better if you cancel the sync but even better would be to have all apps checked in the first place. In the end end though I didn't loose any data - even on the apps that I saw getting removed just moments earlier. WOOHOO!!
    One side effect of this is that the apps are not in the same screen order as before... but that is either my fault or a very very small price to pay
    So this method works but you have to have the guts to click ok
    Also, be careful of your voice memos - I'm not sure if the instructions here cover those but they are not paid content so I would make sure you use something like http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/ to back them up.

  • By mistake I restored my iphone to an old back up I created when I connected my iphone to iTunes. I lost all my data and got the very old ones. There is no new back up. My iTunes is set to auto sync. Is there a way to retreive my data?

    I lost my iPhone data by mistake. There is no new back up in iTunes neither iCloud. Is there a way to get my data back?

    On iTunes under preferences if you select your device, do you also see a listing of available Backup files?  (vs. just the Backup you don't want)

  • Will updating my iPhone to iOS7 delete all my Candy Crush Data?

    I want to update to iOS7 since it just came out, I am just concerned about losing my data on Candy Crush as I have progressed very far. I am not sure if it will get deleted since it is not apart of the Game Center. Until I find out, I'm hesitant to update it.

    Your app data shouldn't be lost when you do an upgrade, but you definitely want to make sure you have a backup before doing anything drastic to your phone:

  • Itunes will not read iphone when connected to laptop

    I will connect my iphone 4 to my laptop, and when I go into ITunes, it will not register the phone. I cannot sync my phone of all my music. I need help.

    Are you using a windows PC? Does it show the iPhone in the device manager list? Maybe a driver issue.

  • Router goes down after Wi-Fi connecting my iPhone 5s

    Hello,
    Yes, simple as that, every time I connect my iPhone 5s to the home broadband, the router goes down for a few minutes and then it comes back, then goes down again and on ... (Never ending loop).
    I made sure that it's related to my iPhone when the browser gone offline on my Macbook, when I turned the Wi-Fi off in my iPhone the router was on again.
    Could it be a conflict or something?
    Any suggestion will be good!
    Many thanks and much appreciated.

    Resetting Network Settings means that the saved password that enabled your iPhone to connect to your WiFi router was erased. You are now reentering that password. Most likely you are entering the password incorrectly or are entering an old password or the wrong password.
    Check that the password that you are using is absolutely, positively, the correct and current password for your router. Make sure that you are not confused l with 1, O with 0, etc.

  • Laptop data connection via iphone

    Method 1
    I am interested in connecting my iphone to my macbook to send and receive data. I previously had a setup on an IBM where i could connect to the internet via my blackberry (ATT/Cingular).
    Does anyone know of an arrangement of this sort?
    Method 2
    Even if i could input my iphone screen onto my laptop screen so i could see a large view would suffice
    Method 3
    Alternatively, i learned that ATT offers wifi service now and is partnered with starbucks, but the plans i read were all listed through ATT residential internet service (not like T-mobile that provides mbile phone subscribers discounts on the wifi plan). My residential DSL/phone setup is currently through Comcast/Vonage; im unaware of wifi plans either of these 2 offer.
    Appreciate any insight you are able to provide! Seems there should be a solution right under my nose!
    thanks

    If you subscribe to one of several AT&T broadband access methods, you qualify for unlimited 802.11b/g access at any supported AT&T or Wayport access point, including those being installed and provisioned at Starbucks.
    You will likely in the future, be entitled to iPhone-only unlimited access through such access points simply by virtue of being an at&t iPhone subscriber, though the initial, unannounced 'field trial' of this service has been at least temporarily shut down. This was primarily attributed to abuse by those using a laptop or other non-iPhone device to mimic one, and connect for unlimited use.
    You can purchase and register a Starbucks card under the provisions of the Starbucks Card Rewards program, or register a supported Duetto VISA card, add a minimum of $ 5.00 to the card each month and receive two hours of free access per day using any supported 802.11b/g device—including an iPhone—at Starbucks alone. You can start [url=https://www.starbucks.com/card/default.asp?cookie%5Ftest=1] here to obtain more details.
    These are three completely unrelated, but effectively overlapping, ways to get some degree of 802.11b/g access at Starbucks.

  • HT4623 When will the new iphone 5s come out?

    WHEN WILL THE NEW IPHONE 5s come out?  If not exact date what month?

  • I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone.  Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called.  If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through.  Anyway to solve this problem?

    Hey David Koh TP,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
    Turn off iPhone cellular calls
    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
