Wireless router away from home??

I have a Wireless-G router that I'm on vacation with. I have an internet connection (obviously) and my computer can see the name of my network, but I can't get a connection. The computer I am using is not the one I originally configured the router on and the one I did configure it on was my home desktop computer. What's my problem? Thanks!! KJ

hi... let me know the ISP details and version no. of the router, so that i can tell you step by step configuration of the router...

Internet connection away from home

how do I connect wirelessly when away from home? I see people at airports sing the net, also at starbucks etc. but I can not get a signal. I am using 2 wire wireless to connect at home with no problems. Any help appreciated.
Mike

All you really need to do is have the Airport displayed on your menu bar, and when there is signal you will see the bars as being black rather than grey. You can click on the icon to list networks to attempt to connect to - if they're open you'll have no problems.

HT201210 Ive updated to ios 6 using wireless. once completed it has asked me to plug my phone into itunes. i'm away from home without itunes what can i do ? the phone cant get past this screen

Ive just tried to install iOS 6 using wirless. Once completed it asks me to plug it into itunes.
I'm away from home at the moment so i dont have access to itunes. is there anything i can do ? the phone will not do anything !!
is there a way to get passed this or revert back ?

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

Using Airport Extreme away from home.

I am away from home and brought my airport express with me. Is there a way to hook it up
to the Verizon hi-speed box at the house I am renting?

Hello jackie Cohen. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is most likely configured for your home network setting, you will either need to reconfigure it for the house you are staying now or reset it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration so that it will operate as a basic wireless router.

TS1398 How do I connect to the internet with my iphone when away from home

I have an iphone 3GS which was fine , was able to connect to the internet away from home when at uni, at appointments. Since software update to IOS 6.0, can now only connect to internet wirelessly when at home-as soon as leave the house it disconnects. Is this just because of the software update? Have tried adjusting settings but got nowhere. Thank you

When your wifi is off. Do you see your carrier name at the top left with either 3G/4G. If not you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
or settings - cellular - cellular data - ON
if those two suggestion doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

Don't know how to access my email away from home

i don't know how to access my email away from home.
can't find webmail or email options.
== User Agent ==

Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

Accessing WD home NAS whilst away from home

I am trying to find out about step by step guides on how to access my WD World Edition II NAS whilst away from home without using Mionet. I am reasonably technical but a novice at networking. I have an O2 broadband router with the drive connected to it. I have looked around for help but it seems to get very complicated very quickly. Do I need to change the settings on my router etc. Any help would be great.
Thanks

@Teejay74 - make update for your firmware with latest one, WD replaced the Mionet for the wd2go.com, a WD tool that makes the share really easy and secure. Now with this tool you can share images from your NAS to your iPad/iPhone/Android , and on this last update you can connect from anywhere to you NAS with wd2go.

Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?

Is it possible to remote-access my MacBook Pro away from home?
What I currently have:
Late-2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 (OSX Mavericks 10.9.5)
2.5ghz Intel i7 quad-core
16gb RAM, 1024gb SSD raid-0 (internal)
Connecting to the internet through:
Apple Time Capsule 2TB (via ethernet)
+
Time Warner Cable "Ultimate 100" (top speed)
I would basically like to be able to have my MacBook Pro on *at home* and connected to the internet via ethernet to the Apple Time Capsule.. and then be able to somehow connect and log in to my MacBook Pro, either through another computer or preferably, my iPhone 5s..
Mostly just interested in having accessibility to be able to make downloads, such as magnet links, while away from the computer.. and basically be able to come home to mostly finished or complete downloads.. Basically like how you can DVR/TiVo things from your iPhone and have it sync with your DVR/TiVo while away from home..
Is this possible? Thank you!!

Yes you can do this.
I would suggest you start with TeamViewer.com (free for personal use).
You will need to install TeamViewer on your Mac AND your iPhone.
The Mac version will need to be configured for unattended remote access. You should practice before you leave the home.
There are other iPhone apps that can remotely access a Mac. A lot depends on whether they can get past the home NAT router. Be careful of apps that provide VNC access, but do not provide a way to get past the home router. If you try one of these, make sure you test it away from your home WiFi network.

Sending e-mail away from home

When I'm away from home I can't send e-mail from my MacBook Air. For ex if I try to send from a hotel room while on their internet. I receive mail but can't send out.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) sends mesages; it communicates over several ports (25 & 587 being common). It is not uncommon for these ports to be blocked if you are using a public internet connection, like at a cafe or from a hotel's public wireless network.
If the email account you are trying to send from is a webmail account, like gmail or yahoo, you can simply use the webmail interface as opposed to using Mac's mail client (mail.app).
It's more likely that you are trying to send from a work email. If this is the case, your work should be providing you with some means to connect to the internet other than using public wi-fi, for example a Virtual Private Network (VPN), or small 4G modem.
In any event, sending mail from a non-public network should solve your problem. Most smart phones can be used as mobile hotspots - often free of charge. Often times the app comes pre-installed.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Away from home printing problems

I have a new I phone 5s, I can print wirelessly on my hp envy 5530 at home. I cannot print away from home, any suggestions

You would have to be able to connect to the same wi-fi as the printer you are trying to print to. More details of your situation would be most helpful.

Smtp-server unavailable away from home

Hi,
My POP email works fine when I am home - I get mail and send mail with no problem. When I am away from home, even at work, I cannot send mail - it sits in the outbox and I get various messages that it can't contact server or server rejected messages, etc. This happens whether I'm on Edge or another Wifi server.
I was on vacation and sent several emails. They all sat in the outbox for several days and when I got home and connected with my wifi router, they all were sent without me doing anything.
Very weird.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!

There are two ways (at least) to get reliable SMTP service when you are not directly connected to you internet provider. One of them is free and one costs $24 per year.
The free service is Google Mail. When you sign up for a GMail account, you get access to their SMTP server for your other POP accounts. Look in the NY Times Technology section for an article by David Pogue on how to do this.
The $24/yr service is www.authsmtp.com. It will send you outgoing e-mail, authenticate it, and it will appear to have been sent from your regular address, so that spam filters on the receiving end don't block your mail. Directions on setting this up are at the Authsmtp site. It covers your iPhone, your laptops, and several e-mail addresses.
There is also a (less desirable) option. You can use AT&T (or Cingular's) outgoing SMTP server, but it is EDGE only. If you are connected to WIFI it will still use edge. The first two options above can use either WIFI or EDGE.

Why can't I get my email messages when i'm away from home?

My Blackberry gets emails when i'm at home via our wireless network, but when I'm away from home, I don't get any email messages or text messages at all. We have both the home WiFi wireless network "on" and the Mobile Network is on. What should I do so I can get emails when I'm away from home?

Without a Blackberry Data Plan you can't get email pushed to your Curve. While on your wi-fi network you are able to access your email, but away from that link you need a data plan.

Can Mail be set up to work while away from home?

When I tried using mail with my powerbook G4, using a free wireless system at the library, I received a message that it needed authentication. Is it possible to use Mail away from home or do I have to use Webmail? I use Comcast broadband at home.

You were exactly right! All it took is going to Mail preferences, clicking on server settings, checking authentication, and adding my user id and password. I tried using the library's WiFi and mail came through.
Thanks
Phil

Sending email away from home

I use a iBook G4 that I have set up wireless Airport in my home. I am able to send and receive emails at home. I have DSL provided by Cavalier and use Safari email program.
I am able to pick up WiFi signals in my travels as a sales rep. and can receive emails. The problem is I can't send emails. I checked with my Internet provider and they tell me to go their web site to send emails. That works for regular emails, but I work with a Filemaker software to generate sales orders that I email to vendors. I am not able to send these emails when I pick up a WiFi signal away from home.
Any suggestions.

Safari isn't an e-mail program, it's a Web browser. When you use Cavalier's Webmail, you do so with a browser (such as Safari).
The Filemaker generated e-mail is probably using an e-mail client, such as Mail, to send the message. When you're sending from a 'foreign', not-Cavalier network (which is what happens when you hitch on someone else's WiFi signal, unless they happen to be a Cavalier customer), The Cavalier SMTP server won't send the e-mail. Many ISPs have adopted this tactic as a way of slowing down the spam avalanche. In some cases, they have established mechanisms to require authentication and use ports other than the popular port 25. It sounds like Cavalier has decided to lock things down a little tighter and requires you to use their Webmail when you're out of network.
One thing you can do is to let Filemaker generate the e-mail, then copy and paste it into Cavalier's Webmail to send it.
Hopefully others will have some suggestions.
Good luck
