Introduction
The new MacBook Pro is the best computer Apple has ever made. It’s the perfect laptop. But it’s also that thing you can buy for $3,000 and have the best Apple is going to make for a long time in a single purchase. Let us find out How to connect MacBook to public wifi?
And that’s why your Macbook is so awesome; it does have the best Apple is going to make for a long time in a single purchase.
Steps to follow
This article is for those who want to know how you can connect your MacBook Air with the airport connector to the public WiFi in a hotel. If you want to use a long USB cable, please check this. It is recommended that you should use a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 cable and not a USB 1.1 cable.
The First Way To Connect Your MacBook Air To A Public Wifi:
- Through The Airport Connector
- Open the Apple Menu and select About This Mac > System Report > Hardware Information.
- The Airport Express has three ports on it which include an Ethernet port, an 802.11b/g/n Bluetooth 4.0+HS adapter, and an HDMI port with support for DisplayPort output for Thunderbolt devices such as the new MacBook Pros (we will get back to them later).
- For the system to communicate with networked computers such as laptops and desktops, it needs access from outside of your network because it needs some sort of communication protocol running between the outside network and your local network connection which looks like this: Serial (COM1) / COM2 (COM3) / COM4 (COM5)/ COM6, etc.
- It sends data back and forth between these ports with different protocols running on them based on where they are in the circuit, but most of them are based on some form of RS232 signaling: 27-pin serial connector / 4-pin RS232 connector / 5 pins RS232 connector, etc.
- When you plug in any device that has an external serial port or connection like a serial cable into one of these ports, all communications need to be done via some form of protocol-based communication so that it can be understood by all devices using that protocol throughout the entire system connected by that serial port or connection regardless if they are within your local network or outside one on another network somewhere else in the world without any communication between each other’s end!
- So when you have an Apple Serial Port Adapter plugged into one of these ports you need some protocol information running between each other’s ports so that communications between devices connected by those serial ports can be relayed out through those connections and then out over the internet!
- The Apple Serial Port Protocol is what allows communications between devices connected by these ports so that all devices connected by any
Here are all the steps needed to set up this solution:
- Install the latest version of AirPort Utility from the Apple Store
- Install from Mac.
- Install from App Store
- Install from iTunes
- Install from App Store
- Install AirPort Utility
- Connect your MacBook/tablet with Bluetooth to an active data plan on AT&T/T-Mobile
- Connect your Macbook/tablet with Bluetooth to a wi-fi access point (e.g., Starbucks Starbucks Wi-Fi) via Ethernet cable
- Get yourself some open internet signal
- Enable Wi-Fi On Screen Access & Airplane Mode
- Connect your Macbook via Bluetooth
- Enable Wi-Fi Connection & Set Up Auto Connect
- Use WiFi HotSpot
- It might take up to 1 minute before connecting works at first
- Since this requires a restart for AirPort Utility, you can turn off/on WiFi
Conclusion
You can’t really “connect” any Mac to the Internet. You need to connect your Mac to a network, connect it to a router, and then connect the router to the Internet.
For most people, this is easy enough. Most people don’t need to do this very often and the majority of them already have a VPN (a virtual private network) on their computers, etc.
What most people don’t know is that Apple does not make a “public” wireless network for macOS, so if you want to use your Mac on an official App Store wireless network you need a special adapter. If you want to use your Mac on any other wireless networks (Apple Store Routers being one of them), you need an adapter that can be connected to both sides without needing anything extra wired.
Almost all iPhones and iPads sold in Asia have 2G/3G radios instead of traditional GSM/EDGE. This is because only 2G/3G phones work in Chinese 3G networks; 3G phones cannot reach a full range of frequencies in China, so manufacturers had no choice but to sell iPhones with smaller antennas that are not PTT-compatible (so they cannot be used for PTT) and use them for GSM function only.
