Wireless internet setup

how do I get the internet wirelessly in windows 8.1

Is this related to Bootcamp/Windows on a Mac, or are you asking about a Windows PC and Wireless connectivity?
On a BC/Windows Mac, install BC drivers appropriate for your hardware which can be found at Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support .

HELP ME UNDERSTAND WIRELESS INTERNET PLEASE!!!

IM looking into purchasing a laptop but do not have internet currently, IM totally confused on how works. Can I get wireless internet without a phone jack? Some people have also told me that a satellite laptop would be best but I would need a wireless router to connect do you have to have a service provider or can I surf the web right away? PLEASE help me!

Lets not Confuse Toshiba Sattlelite with wireless capabilties, its just a brand name and does not imply functionality in a specfic way.
There are legal ways to get free wireless internet, one i just mentioned which is the library. If you use your wireless card and find other locations over the airwaves, and they are unsecured, you could essentially hop onto them but its very illegal and there are ways of catching people stealing wireless access from other users.
If you are in the market for High Speed internet such as Comcast, or Verizon, you can go here:

New Airport Extreme N wireless network setup questions (WDS, D-Link)

I have finally been able to set up my Airport Extreme N network after numerous attempts over the last few weeks. I was getting a very weak signal in front of the house where my wife's G4 is connected wireless to an old Airport card and where all the systems (XBOX 360; Wii and PS3) are also wirelessly hitting the network.
The current configuration is as follows: In the office in the back of the house I have an Airport Extreme N basestation connected to the cable modem and have three workstations (One Mac and two PCs) wired to it. I set up a WDS network, so I set up the Airport Expresses as remotes. In the living room I have another Airport Extreme N basestation (as a remote as well) that is hooking up to the XBOX 360, Wii and PS3. I have enabled WEP security (not effecting the XBOX 360 since it is now "wired"). Here is the weird thing - I have a PC laptop with a D-Link Xtreme N card ( DWA-652) that cannot connect to the network. I enter the WEP password but it does not connect. Am I missing something on the basestation setup? Do I need to add the MAC address of the card anywhere. When I use the laptop's built in wireless it connects with no problem. By creating a WDS network did I disable the n functionality of the base station(s)? I am a lttle condused.
Also, prior to going to an all Apple wireless network setup, I bought the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655). I was regretfully about to return it to Best Buy but I had an idea which may or may not work. I know that the D-Link does not support WDS but if I was to set it up as the main router and added the "main" Airport basestation as a wired bridge could I maintain the WDS network? The reason I ask this is because I would love to keep the gigabit for the wired machines in the office. Also, I am wondering if the D-Link notebook card is incompatible with the Airport network.
All I know is that I have spent alot of money and sleepless nights just trying to set this network up but thankfully Best Buy has a thirty day return policy so I will return what I can't use.
I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.
Thanks.

Hello!
I have noticed that some manufacturers (Linksys and possibly D-LINK) only accept upper-case WEP keys only.
This drove me nuts when trying to integrate a Linksys PC PCMCIA card into my old "g" network.
As far as using WEP, it's bad and broken; but I understand that your choice of security is limited to the devices that you are trying to network.
For what it's worth, I have my network set up with the AEBS 'n' connected to my Cable Modem, with one of the ports going to a gigabit switch for my wired network. I then have two AirTunes set up as WDS extensions for music & Internet delivery to two separate areas. The AEBS 'n" serves up DHCP and routing for the entire network.
It works quite well; I get 54 mbits/sec for the two WDS AirTunes, and 145 mbits/sec to one of my ATV's. My gigabit wired machines see data rates of 15-27 MBytes/sec (depending on the type of transfer).
Good luck!

MacBook Pro (Wireless Internet) - ethernet - Windows XP (no wireless) ?

Hello,
I have MacBook Pro with wireless internet that works just dandy.
I also have a cheap IBM ThinkPad running Windows XP. It's from the stone age, so it has no wireless internet card.
Ethernet cable successfully connects the two, and I can transfer files back and forth using smb://, no problem.
But I really want is to be able to get internet on Windows using connection from my MacBook Pro.
Is this possible? Can I do it in system preferences somewhere, or would I have to go buy a router or something?
EDIT: I'm a Web Developer, so I just want to be able to connect to see how HTML files look on IE. If there is a way to setup a localhost and plug IP into Windows XP, that'd be a good enough solution.
RE-EDIT: Just figured it out on my own :S
Thanks,
-Adam

I figured it out
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing -> "Airport" + "Ethernet"

I just moved and wireless internet is now provided for me. I am not using my Time Capsule as a router anymore but can I still use it as my storage device wirelessly? So far I cannot get it to work. Please help.

Hi,
I just moved to a new place. I used to have my own internet setup and used my Airport Time Capsule as my router. Now that I don't need to use it as a router I would still like to use it as a storage device for my pictures. Can I still do that wirelessly or do I have to plug it into my computer? And if I do (which would really be crumby) do I just use a USB cable?
Please help. I have a lot of work stored on it and I am feeling pretty stuck at the moment.
Thank you,
Charlie

You can use your Time Capsule in your new network in a number of ways. One would be as a NAS device which I believe you are looking to do.
To do so, you would connect the TC to the new router by Ethernet. You would also want to reconfigure the TC as a bridge and disable its wireless radios.
You can do both of these using the AirPort Utility, as follows:
Run the AirPort Utility.
Select the TC, and then, select Edit.
Select the Network tab.
Change Router Mode to: Off (Bridge Mode)
Select the Wireless tab.
Change Network Mode to: Off
Select Update and allow the TC to restart.

Need Help setting up 2 wireless internet computers with 54g wireless router

I setup the 54g wireless router using the setup disk. It appears to have worked find and the first laptop has wireless internet. I am not familiar with setting up a totally wireless network so I am not sure if I did the rest right. I then setup the 54g wireless internet router on the 2nd computer. It appears to have loaded but will not connect to the internet. I looked at the linksys setup etc... for both computers and all is the same including the WPA key, IP address, and the rest. No differences noted. I have no idea why the 2nd computer does not have wireless internet access. It has wired access only. The 2nd computer shows the wireless network but won't connect to it. I click on it and hit refresh and nothing happens. I am at a loss as to what to do now.
With 2 wireless computers, must there be a main computer and a secondary computer? The 1st computer also doesn't have access to windows network setup for some reason. It tells me to go to the knowledge base at microsoft.com and look up 871122. No idea why the windows network setup is not working. It did work before I got a new cable service provider and modem. However, the windows network setup is working on the 2nd computer. Any help is appreciated.

does the 2nd computer even need the router info loaded into it like the 1st computer or should it be enough that the wireless network was created on the 1st computer? In other words, would having the router info loaded in both computers cause the 2nd one to not connect? I have spent hours on this and I am very confused now.
My router connects fine to the cable modem. the 1st computer connects fine to the router and gets the wireless internet without a problem. Again, the 2nd computer shows the network name but won't connect to it. help please!!

I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!

I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!
I think I might have been sold a jelly - I want to listen to my music wirelessly which is why I bought the Airport Express, but I also have a wireless internet connection - can I do both?

Do you mean to say you already have a wireless network setup and thought by buying the Airport Express you just could use it for wireless music alone?
The Airport Express is chiefly a wireless router first, with the wireless music and printing as extra's.
It can be used for streaming music alone, but I think it needs to talk to network time servers and thus it gets screwed up over time not being on the internet. Also by your using your computers wifi for music streaming, no internet with your other router.
So it's a all Airport Express or back to a stereo mini cable.

Laptop only connects to wireless internet in one room

I have a Toshiba Satellite L675-S7104. I have wireless internet, and the laptop will only connect in one room. However, my work laptop and other devices are able to connect all over the house. Also, at times, the internet service cycles on and off about every minute! The first problem is the more common one, though. Any suggestions?
Solved!

...Comcast states it is not a problem with their connection since other devices connect....
Common story with Tier 1 support personnel. Apples and oranges really, just because other units connect does not necessarily mean the router is not part of the problem. Regardless, let's assume Comcast has ensured the router has the latest firmware, as there's nothing we can do about that.
First, try to follow the various suggestions in this article and see if that helps the situation at all:

If there's no improvement, try this driver from Toshiba Europe, it's a newer version than the one on the USA site. This is a zip file, so you'll have to extract all the files and run setup.exe to install it.

Difficult to connect to wireless internet

Hello,
I hope someone can help. I've been looking through these boards for days and nothing seems to work.
I am usually not able to connect to wireless internet if my macbook is more than about 10 feet away from my time capsule. However, SOMETIMES I am able to get a strong signal from another room - adding to my frustration.
Here are its current settings:
Firmware 7.4.2 (I've tried all versions from 7.3.2 on - no noticeable difference)
Connected to modem via ethernet.
Radio mode 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
Cannot install Airport Extreme Update 2007 002 because my hard drive does not meet volume requirements (???).
Therefore cannot install Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler.
TC is set to a unique channel according to iStumbler. Minimal interference.
Many thanks for your suggestions.
Paul

Wireless devices in the U.S. must by law, operate on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The vast majority of wireless networks are running at the 2.4 GHz frequency, which is one of the same frequencies that cordless phones have been assigned.
I can't speak for Apple, but it's fair to say that they and all other manufacturers are limited to what they can do and have no control over that. The airways are already overcrowded and it will get much worse.
Your Time Capsule is capable of creating a wireless network at 5 GHz, so it's worth a try to see if that might solve your interference issues at 2.4 GHZ. There are far fewer networks in this range and cordless phones in general will not conflict with this frequency.
Open AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Look for the Radio Mode setting and choose something like 802.11n only at 5 GHz.
Update settings
The downside here is that older devices that operate on "g" speed will not be able to connect. I couldn't tell from your post whether you might have other devices there besides your Time Capsule and MacBook. I'm not sure if the MacBook will connect if it's more than a few years old, but worth a try.
Post back when you have had a chance to experiment.

Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
That’s it. Job done
If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
Let me know how you get on.

LAN IP keeps changing on my wireless internet camera using Linksys E1200 router

Although it was working fine for about a month the LAN IP for my wireless internet camera now keeps changing almost on a daily basis for no apparent reason. I am currently away from home and am unable to access the camera for live coverage until I determine and reset the IP. Fortunately the camera is working and still sending emails on motion detection which includes a note with the IP which I then can use remotely access my local computer and then to the camera for live coverage but this is a time consuming method. To be able to get access from my current location I then have to remotely log on to my home E1200 router and change the address in the port forwarding section of the routers setup program in order to use the new IP directly.
I know I could have avoided this problem by seting up the camera with a static IP but for some reason I had a problem doing so and due to time limitation I ended up accepting the dynamic IP assignment.
What could be causing the change and more importantly is there anything I can do to the router setup to minimize the problem?

There hasn't been a power failure at my house in over 3 weeks at least none that my UPS system has sensed but there have been many camera IP changes during that perioid . Perhaps there has been some local power interuption to the camera or the router. I wonder if a local power sag or surge might be sufficient for the camera to restart. I guess further investigation will have to wait til I return and regardless of what I find I'll switch to a static IP for the futrue.

Please, help me to set up wireless Internet connection. My router is WRT54GS. I able to get online when computer is wired direct to VPN internet cable.
First, I can’t open password request screen on http://192.168.1.1.
Second, when "Setup wizard" runs step #6 (“Check the router’s status”), the program asks for the password. Default password “admin” is rejected by the program and I can’t install Linksys software. Just in case I already pressed reset switch on the back of the router but to no avail.
Third, I don’t find out my Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection and correct router’s IP address using ipconfig/all command after connecting WRT54GS with my computer. Ethernet adapter: DHCP disabled, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, IP address 10.32.132.193, default gate 10.32.132.1.
Tell me please: what’s the matter?

Can a Time Capsule hook up to a wireless Internet?

I was advised to buy a time capsule and I was wondering if it hooks up to a wireless internet.

Download the 5.6 utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
You cannot uninstall 6.1.. just ignore it.
Run manual setup from 5.6 and go to the wireless page.. select wireless mode with the option key held down.. a new option will appear.. join wireless network. Select that and put in your wireless details.
You have now setup the TC purely as a client to the wireless network.. it will be super slow.. and ethernet and 5ghz wireless won't work.
The option is missing in 6.1 utility.

Connecting my PDA Palm TX to Verizon wireless internet

I have a PDa Palm TX and recently switched internet service from Comcast to Verizon. I can't connect to my Verizon wireless internet service. I do not know which secuirty key setup I need. Can someone please give me instructions on connecting to Verizon internet. I have a wireless router and it works fine with my two laptop computers. Thanks!

Connecting to the internet with your TX should have nothing to do with switching from Comcast to Verizon, but rather the type of security you (or someone else) set on your wireless router. Also, some types of routers won't work with the TX. Check the "stickied" thread near the top of this board for tips and "how-to's" about wireless networking issues.
If you don't know how to get into your router settings to check them there, you should be able to see the security settings on your laptop by checking the Network settings.
