Wireless high speed internet connection

I would like to know if somewhere we can find a kind of PCS card for wireless high speed internet connection, but for power books and iBooks G4?
I'm living in mexico City and one company (iusacell) is offering the service but just with PCS cards for PCs, but no for macs.

Unfortunately, the 12" PowerBooks and both size iBooks lack the required PCMCIA slot for such cards, so they cannot be used at all.
The 15" and 17" PowerBooks do have a PCMCIA slot, but if your network doesn't supply Mac software or drivers, it probably can't be used.

    As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
    Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
    I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

  • What is the best way to connect my ipad to the high-speed Internet connection in a hotel room

    what is the best way to connect my ipad to the high speed inernet connection in a hotel room

    every connection is a bit different. Generally, connect to the wifi, then you may need to open Safari, and may even need to try to get to one of your bookmarked pages to trigger the 'agree to our terms' page to come up.
    As to it kicking you off every so often, there are sometimes glitches with the wifi on iPads, you can also be subject to any programming the hotel has. Like I've noticed various places that only allow you to log on for a period of time before having to relogin.
    most hotels have 1-800 numbers, so you can always try calling that to see if their tech support has any tips for the frequent disconnection issue.

  • Options for high speed internet connection. . .anyone tried Directv?

    Just relocated to a black hole of communications. . . Sprint telephone provider does not provide high speed service in my area. Town about 10 miles away has wireless access but not good for me. . . have new intel 20" Imac and now using apple external modem. . .good connection with aol but slow and would like to do better. I have Directv which is persistently touting their internet service. Anyone have experience with that? What are my other options, if any?

    I have had DirecWay (soon to be HughesNet) for a year. I have the Pro account ($69/mo) with 1000/200 kb/s D/U and a 350MB download bucket which refills at 56 kb/s. That is about 350 MB per 16 hour period. It has been reliable. Heavy snow will stop like with DirecTV, but with dish low enough to sweep the snow off corrects this. Speeds vary, but is always better than dial-up. We had 18.8 kb/s on a very good day with dial-up.
    However! The latency is high, 700-900ms. This delay is annoying, it takes a few seconds before your page come up. "Twitch" games don't play well. Other than that it is great.
    I kept waiting for DSL or anything but it never came. My only regret is that I should have gotten it sooner.

  • How can a session be setup between two MacBook Pro's at different locations on high speed Internet connections, be setup to have a live recording session in Logic?

    My partner and I live on opposite sides of the valley here in Phoenix. About 50 miles apart one way. We are Musicians and are working on a commercial for television, and would like to know if there is a way, between FaceTime and Logic, that we can configure our MacBook Pro's to record sessions together without having to be at the same house? When we FaceTime, he can hear my keyboard through his headphones, but we can't seem to get the signal routed into Logic and register to a track when its record enabled. Is there a way for us to save gas, and record at seperate locations, so he can engineer me and I can engineer him, while we build this project in Logic and Final Cut? Here is what we are using, we have nearly identicle setups, which was planned so we might be able to do something like this. Both of us are using Mid 2012 15" MacBook Pro's with 2.6GHz Intel i7 processors and 16GB RAM. The only difference between the two MacBooks is that his has an Optical Drive, but I removed mine and replaced it with a 2nd SSD Drive, so I have two Samsung 840 Pro's each with 512GB in my MacBook Pro. His just has one Samsung 840 Pro with 512GB. We both use Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 Firewire Audio Interfaces, and we both use Logic Studio 9 Academic. I don't know if you need to know what we are using in order to help us figure out how to configure the MacBooks for a live session, so I figured I would give you those details just in case. If you need any more information, just let me know? Oh, we both have high speed cable Internet connections. Mine is 150Mbps speed which is the absolute fastest I can get in my area. And his is only a 50Mbps speed line.
    Again, what we are looking to do is have a LIVE recording session, in Logic, with him at his house and me at my house. When we FaceTime each other, we can pretty much hear each others keyboards as if they were part of the conversation, and as crystal clear as we can hear our own when recording, but we can't seem to record enable an Audio track in Logic and route that keyboard signal into Logic and record it so we can engineer each other without either one of us having to drive to the others house, to be there to do it. If any of this even makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to better explain it. So hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise just say so, and I will try to do a better job explaining it.  :-)
    Anyone who can help us with this little problem would be greatly appreciated, and quite a hero in these two humble Musicians Worlds!! So from both of us, THANK YOU in advance for any input you might be able to give us. I look forward to hearing any and all suggestions.
    Scott

    Hey Scott
    You and ALOT of people are attempting to do this, myself included.
    Unfortunately at this point (to my knowledge) it's a pretty CRAP setup involved that will likely leave you frustrated.
    HOWEVER:
    A few things CAN be done:
    IF you are getting live audio from your partner over the internet, you can re-direct that audio directly into Logic using a program called SoundFlower.
    There are a few alternatives to SoundFlower, like JackTrip, and.....(the name eludes me)
    (SoundFlower is from a company called Cyling 74 who also makes Max MSP. )
    Once in Logic, you set your audio inputs to the track to be Soundflower. (either 16 inputs, or in this case 2)
    That all being said, regardless to speed, you are still going to experience latency in the connection, and THAT is the part that will likely drive you to the mad house.
    THIS all being said, I believe there are websites out there that are set up to actually do this kind of thing, (at least there WERE) but likely membership costs, and other "hidden" problems that you only learn about after you have signed on the dotted line. (Hopefully I am wrong?)
    If you don't need to do a "live jam", there are always solutions like DropBox that work very well for exchanging large files quickly.
    If you want to record live MIDI input from his keyboard, I am unaware of any solutions for this.
    Due to the popularity of the iPad, you might want to look into the App store, and see if there is something available.
    Good luck!

  • Installing Sprint Broadband High Speed Internet Connection

    I am getting 11bps internet connection with my dial-up server, AOL.
    Sprint has sent me the materials that are, for a huge price of $69 a month, supposed to give me broadband speed which I simply must have in order to attend online art classes which I am beginning next week.
    Does it make any difference if I insert the disk before the laptop is turned on, or if I insert it while the laptop is already turned on?
    I am totally scared to death to do this. I'm afraid something will go awry and I will screw things up. Any one here who has been through this? And knows the possible pitfalls? And can guide me through it?
    I've read the printed instructions through 3 times and they are NO help. They are not clear or informative, so that I feel sure and secure of what to do and what to do next. I am floundering....and the clock is ticking! Help!
    Cyan

    Hi Cyan,
    No worries either way on the disk, but no benefit of having it in first... you must still be a little bit stuck in the Windows® universe!
    There'll be an installer once you open the CD, but it won't boot your Mac like some PC stuff does.
    In fact, I think you/we can set it up without their CD even.
    Seriously, don't worry yourself on this, it'll be easier than the documentation, and if that weren't enough, if I or others can't help you, I'll put out a Bat Signal for the best AOL helper in the whole world... Ali B., and help is but a parsec away.

  • How do I setup high speed internet on Sun Solaris 10?

    Hello,
    I have comcast high speed internet. It doesn't work automatically. How can I setup my high speed internet connection to work with Sun Solaris 10?
    Mateusz

    Pickup a broadband router, made by dlink, linksys, netgear, SMC or Cisco. If possible get a wireless with 4 port switch built in. This will give you added flexibility if you happen to get another system or a wireless laptop. You want a gateway router that does NAT, SPI firewall, DHCP.
    Plug it into your cable modem then into your sun box, default settings on the router will generally self configure to the broadband you connect to and there will be no problems. However if you are using a DSL or bigpond they require a username and password to get the line active, this requires an initial login to the firewall to pick PPoE on the WAN side.
    Different brands default to different 'non routeable' internal IP's, all are 192.168.x.x, smc defaults to 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x depending on release date, Linksys defaults to 192.168.2.x as does linksys, Netgear defaults to 192.168.1.x, the owners manual will usually tell you this.
    They are generally made to default to a windows box so configuring a unix box has to be done either manually or with the dhcp option. www.dslreports.com has alot of good vendor specific information on configuring these things.
    At any rate you need to create a file in /etc called 'defaultrouter' with the routers IP address, in the smc case it would be 192.168.2.1, pick a couple of outside DNS servers and put them in a file in /etc called resolv.conf in the format
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    copy nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
    pick an address in the 192.168.2 range like .25 and add it in the /etc/hosts file, create a hostname.hme0 file with the host name thats in the hosts file and reboot.
    Then try to ping the router, if no ping then the chang the 3td octet 1 instead of 2 and try again.
    I've never tried doing the .dhcp thing but I've never used dhcp for a sun box before because all I do is servers.
    I think I'd try the DHCP thing first then get to the router to get all it's information and write it down. Usually the ISP will populate the router with dns servers and any dns requests are answered by the router in the dhcp configuration. I think thats about it...

  • Is Practical to use ODBC over high speed intenet connections?

    I am developing an application using Oracle 10g as back- end and Visual Basic / Access as front-end. ODBC works fine in intranets for this purpose, but I wonder if it will work over high speed internet connections to manage several offices from the headquarters.
    Any information on the subject will be appreciated.
    Francisco

    Connecting and using database connections over a WAN can be very slow. There are usually several network conversations for even the simplest SQL statements. An application that is used to querying the database each time it needs data can be brought to its knees when the latency goes up, regardless of how much bandwidth is available.
    As long as the latency is less than 20ms, you probably won't notice too much. Once it goes over 50ms, you start to curse these database companies that don't use real streaming. At 100ms or more you start thinking that Citrix is the best invention in the world.

  • How can I set up a home wireless network with Comcast high speed internet?

    I just signed up for Comcast High Speed Internet. I was able to get my Power Mac onto the internet. However, I connected my Airport Extreme and am unable to get it to recognize that I have an internet connection. I want to set up a wireless network in my apartment. Comcast tech support said that I only have one IP address.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get my wireless network up and going? Thanks!

    Should I change set up so that cable goes from the cable modem directly to Airport Extreme and then use the ports on the Extreme to run Ethernet Cable to Power Mac and other devices?
    Yes
    As an aside, would this setup allow me to hook my iBook up to Airport via Ethernet cable and let it get into Internet that way?
    Yes

  • I just set up an Optus Cisco DPQ3925 wireless router to access higher speed internet I signed up for. I have a 4th gen airport extreme I want to put in another room and use as a wifi extender the wifi but I get an error message each time I try. Help?

    Hello all.
    I have just set up a new cisco DPQ3925 wireless router that Optus sent me to be able to access the higher speed internet I have signed up for.
    I have a 4th gen apple extreme that I want to use to extend the wifi but when I try to update the settings via the airport utility I get a message that says it cannot do so, and to check it is in range and the wifi is set up correctly. I'm not experienced with these things but I can't think what I have done wrong.
    Is anybody able to help me please.

    You cannot use the AE to extend wireless from a non apple router such as your cisco modem router.. they are not compatible..
    You need to tie to the two devices together either with ethernet or something like EOP adapters.. They are about $120 and you can price match in officeworks.

  • Connecting to High Speed Internet - I am not a Crook!

    Ok, first of all, you're going to have to hear me out. I think technically what I'm trying to do is illegal, but in the real world I think its perfectly justified...
    I have cable internet at home that I pay for and enjoy. My computer is the only computer in the house and thus the only one using the service. Right now I am house sitting with my girlfriend and have brought my computer with me, thus leaving my cable internet hookup behind at home unused. I'm connecting to the internet here with a dialup connection account that the owners of the house have and the slowness is driving me crazy.
    I thought that if I brought my cable modem with me and hooked their cable into it I would be able to get access to the high speed internet - which I think I am justified in doing since I am paying for the service and it is going unused at home. The only problem is it doesn't seem to be working. The cable modem has a green light for "cable" but nothing for "data", and everytime I try to go to a website it either asks me to dial in to the dialup service or work offline.
    At home I know that we have the same cable for our TV as we do for my internet because in my room where the computer normally is I have a small TV (for viewing with Premiere) that we also pay to have a cable connection into and the cable guy merely split the cable to go both into my computer and my TV.
    Is there something they would normally have to switch on outside to make the cable work for the internet as well? I'm not interested in messing with that, I'm just wondering why its not working here.
    Darcy

    Oddly enough, I was in paying for my cable and asked (in a roundabout way) about the possibilities of hooking up at another house and what was the deal about splitting the line and getting basic cable without paying for it.
    The answers I got were basically...
    When you sign up for cable modem, you are renting a port, that prot can go anywhere, it's not stealing if you only use it from one place and can only get detected if it's on in two places.
    When you subscribe to cable modem, the basic cable is inherent in the signal. In my case (comcast), you can opt for a package that includes basic cable and the internet service for the same price as the internet port alone. They know people split the cable and hook it up to their TV, some installers go ahead and do that as a service. If the installer runs two cables into the house, it's simply split upline somewhere, it doesn't really accomplish anything.
    It was almost like talking to the limo driver in the Wayne's World movie. Too much information...

  • New to Macs AND high speed internet. I'm a little unsure of what I'm doing.

    I just bought my first iBook yesterday, and today my roommate subscribed to our local cable high speed internet. I'd like to configure a wireless network for both of us to use. Problem is, I have the Mac, and she has a desktop PC. Is there a way for the two to use the same wireless connection?
    I'm sorry if this sounds like an elementary question, but I just want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing and that I get the right equipment. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me.

    Yes, you can use the same internet connection with a wireless router. Once the router is configured for your ISP (most have "Wizard setup" discs for PCs...from the Mac side you can use your browser to set it up) the iBook should find it and ask if you want to join the network. Just get a 802.11b/g compliant router.

  • No High Speed Internet AT ALL from ANY CARRIER

    In the area of Old Church in Hanover county I live in we do not have high speed internet from any carrier.    I telecommute and must use VPN to establish a secure connection to my company's network, so Satellite is not an option.  The Mobile Broadband signal is so weak I've had to purchase a amplifier and antenna to boost the signal to make it bearable.   There is a switch station just a mile down the road - why can't the equipment be put in there so we can get DSL?  

    I do have wireless mobile broadband, but the signal is very  weak so high speed it ain't.  For whatever reason the county (or someone) to date has not allowed towers in my area so what I'm getting is coming from over 7 miles away.   It's tolerable with a Wilson antenna and amplifier, and there's still a things we can't do, but at least I don't drop my VPN connection multiple times a day.  I have to use VPN because I work from home - otherwise I would have probably gone with a Satellite ISP.     I did check into the T-1 and the cheapest price is still about 400 bucks.   If it's split 3 ways its still 133 a month and I'm not sure I want to go that way. 
    It would be great is they put the equipment in the switch, and maybe I can get some of the neighbors to together to start campaigning for it.   

  • Airport, high speed Internet problem

    Hello guys
    Let me tell you what i'm was facing before the change happened and the issue started.
    I was connecting my macbook pro 13 to my 5mg speed Internet thro the router wirelessly. it was going perfect with no pre loading the page. Also i connect my ps3 to it and my phone, and still no problems. however, i wanted more speed, so i upgrade my Internet with 50mg speed. the first day it was going amazing while i'm connecting wirelessly. even speedtest.net was giving me the full speed. but the second day it started. it takes so long to open a page, youtube for example. even when its opened it doesn't show me the pre picture of some videos . and when i open the video its take soo much to pre load the clip, i mean not even loading the clip , but when its start it can run 1080 with no problem.
    So when i called the Internet provider they tolled me to open any page and run youtube clips on my ipod, it's runs faster then my macbook pro. not even a second to run a youtube clip. and they said its may be my airport card having an issue running a fast high speed Internet. even thou when i connect my macbook by wire its goes fine but with less time to pre-load the page. but still it looks like running on DSL connection.
    Any suggestions to solve the problem ?
    and sorry for making it so long to read

    also even thou it took time to open a page but when i download a file it, the downloading speed of only that file goes like what it should be.

  • Upgrade to High Speed Internet Enhanced : Not working

    I recently upgraded my internet connection to High Speed Internet Enhanced (7.1 Mbps to 15 Mbps) from my old plan which had a speed of 1Mbps to 3.1Mbps. The order status indicates that the service has been activated. But still I am experiencing only the old speed (approx 2.5 Mbps only). Can anyone help?

    Could you post your modem's Transceiver Statistics for us? If you don't know how to get them, finding your modem make and model and posting it up will help us help you get them.
    One key thing to lay out on the table, if it isn't a stats issue it's possible 3Mbps/768kbps is your max speed due to your line coming from a Remote Terminal or DSLAM rather than the CO itself. Remotes are currently capped at 3Mbps, with the exception of a few meant to act as Mini-COs due to the lack of capacity going to them, and especially due to some of them being quite old. This is something for a person with the right level of access to the network or your account to find out. I've got someone who will check and turn up the speed if possible but we need to see the stats first.
