[X4U] Need WiFi for iPad to work

[Jeff Carruthers]

Better yet, if you have a Mac with a highspeed internet connection, just share that internet connection through the airport card in your Mac. Most Macs now come with an Airport card installed; if your Mac is older, you can probably pick up a used card.

To turn wifi sharing on, go to System Preferences, click on Sharing, then check Internet sharing, and then select Ethernet as connection to share and then Airport as the mode for sharing. This creates a WiFi network that your iPhone or iPad can connect to the Internet (or to your Mac). [Snow Leopard]

No need to buy an external device.
