Can connect to Airport Express but not to the internet

Please help
My Airport Express shows the solid green light. I am also able to connect to it and use AirTunes on my HiFi.
However I cant connect to the internet. If I plug in my laptop to the router directly the internet works fine. So it is not a router problem.
Any idea?

After following your instruction, I am not able to connect to the airport express anymore. I can still see the network but it is somehow unable to read the IP address.
When I try to get to the Airport utility it shows the base station but do not let me get into the configuration and shows an error message -4.
The only option I have then is to reset the AE

Can connect to wireless router but not to the internet

Please Help, I have a WRT150N and I can connect to my wireless router by it will not connect to the internet from there, even though the internet, wireless, and security lights are lit up. If I plug a cord into the back of the router and then into my computer, I can connect to the internet, but once I disconnect the cable, I can still find and connect to my wireless router, but it will not connect to the internet from here. Under access it says "Local Only", I have the security type set to "Shared" under the security properties, and set to "WEP" with WEP key #1 entered. I have spent about 4 hours working on this problem now and could really use some help. Thanks.

Type ipconfig /all in command prompt(cmd.exe) to see whether it displays valid and correct IP, netmask, gateway and DNS info. If not, take a look on these cannot connect to wireless network problem and using ping to troubleshoot network problem articles to get more ideas. Hope it helps..

Vista connects to Time Capsule but not to the internet.

Hi. Please help, I am pulling my hair out. I have just bought a Time Capsule to use as a base station to connect my laptops, PS3, iPhone etc to the internet. When I set up my Time Capsule, I got my Macbook Pro, my PS3 and my iPhone connected in about 15 minutes flat. But I have now been trying to get my wife's Sony Vaio laptop (about one year old) connected for about 3 hours. It can see the network no problem, it connects, but it only ever connects locally and will not let the Windows machine connect to the internet. When I select which network to join, it correctly identifies my network with the correct name, but once it is connected it only sees an "unidentified network".
I have looked through the forums and made sure that the NETbios is started and the security encryption matches.
If I go to the "Summery" page in my Airport Utility on my Macbook, it can see the Windows laptop.
The more I try the more I want to throw the windows machine out of the window and get my wife a mac, but she informs me that she is 28 and she is a PC! Therefore, I need to fix this...............please help.

From the Vaio's Windows Desktop, start a Command Window session. (ref: Start > Start Search > enter cmd, and then, press Enter). At the command prompt, type-in ipconfig /all, and then, press Enter.
You may have several network components listed. For example, entries for both the Ethernet and Wireless connections. We want to concentrate on the wireless adapter settings.
Note the values of the following:
o IPv4 Address - This should be an IP address in the same range as that being provided to the other network clients. By default, the AirPort uses the 10.0.1.n range ... so an address like 10.0.1.10 would be appropriate.
o DHCP Enabled - This should be "Yes."
o Default Gateway - This should be the IP address of the LAN-side of your AirPort. By default, it would be 10.0.1.1.
o DHCP Server - This should be the same as the Default Gateway value.
o DNS Servers - These should be your ISP's DNS servers IP addresses.
Again, compare these values with the other computers that are successfully access the Internet. Except for the IPv4 value, all others should be the same.

Ipad connects with Airport Express, but not wireless router

I have a airport express that exends my network and is connected by an ethernet cable to the wireless router. they are on opposite sides of the house from each other. every other device i own has full bars wifi anywhere in the house. but the ipad only seems to find the signal from the AE.
If i go in the bedroom with the wireless router, the signal drops to 1 bar. if i unplug the AE along with all the other electronics for the TV/Receiver at night, the ipad loses the signal and cannot get a signal from the router, standing right next to it. i have tried reset, hard reset, renew lease forgetting network, and all fails. any ideas?
I have a Verizon Ultraline series 3 model A90-9100EM15-10 and the firmware is up to date.

Disclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You likely have your reason for extending your network in this manner, but it seems that the AE is not really extending your router's network, but creating its own separate network that then extends your internet connection. This can be confusing to devices if you are expecting that they will switch between the two of them automatically.
The iPad can only support one connect at a time. It sounds like you want it to be able to jump from the AE connection to a router connection on a whim when signal strength drops. I am not sure that the iPad's radio is that sophisticated. At best when the iPad looses a signal it could ask if you want to join any other network that it detects, especially if it has connected to that network in the past.
AFA the router, some routers don't like iOS devices and just won't connect. When you go to Settings/Wi-Fi does the iPad see the router's network? If the iPad sees the router network, try configuring a connection by hand.
Tap Other... and write the name of the router's network. Tap Security and select the type of security the router's network employs. Return to the previous pane and enter the password. Tap Join. If you can make the conection the iPad should remember this network in the future. Turn on Ask to Join Networks and hopefully when the iPad looses the AE signal in the future it will then ask you if you want to join the router's network.

Can connect to base station but cannot browse the internet

Hi,
I have got a MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo with Leopard installed (10.5). I have had trouble free wireless internet access for the last 12 months using a Belkin ADSL Router.
Just today I have lost access to the internet completely for both wireless and ethernet.
When I look at the Network dialog for either Airport or Ethernet it says that it is connected and it has got an IP address assigned by the router within the range I would expect. When I use the diagnostic utility it says that everything is fine.
I can browse to the admin pages of the router no problem.
I have reset the router numerous times and also tried the reset of the Mac where you take the battery out and hold the power button down for 5 seconds.
Nothing has worked.
I have got a PC connected to the same router and it is connecting to the internet fine.
Any ideas??

Jon,
Some other thoughts occurred to me...
When did this start? What change, if any occurred just prior to the onset of symptoms?
Have you recently upgraded to Leopard? Did it work after that?
Have you tried connecting to the internet on another wireless network like an internet cafe or a friend's house?
Does your PC, which works, rely on proxy settings to browse through?
Lastly, you asked if your ISP could have caused this. Normally, I would say no because you are connecting to your ISP through a single point and IP address, that of your router. While many ISPs have always wanted to bill their users by the number of computers that are using their services, this has been difficult to do because of the prevalence of IP address sharing granted by the routers that are so common in our homes. It may be possible that your ISP has found a way around this but I remain skeptical.

IPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

iPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
type
networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
Thanks Apple for that.

if not then how do i use the unlimited data ive been given through my mobile network provider please tell me most kindly Purchase a mobile WiFi hotspot (Sometimes referred to as a MyFi), or have that service added to your cell phone.
geeeeesar also how does this ipod touch4 pick up the wifi free of charge is this possible or do you have to pay for limited data to access internet Your iPod can connect to any unsecured WiFi network that you are currently within range of. These networks can be found at your local library, some city/county government buildings, doctor's offices, Denny's, IHOP, Starbuck's, Home Depot, Lowes, Best Buy, and other merchants. Your iPod can connect to any secured WiFi network that you are within range of and that you have the password for.
thanks can i pod touch 4 generation download movies too please help thank u very much.... Yes. If your iPod has a WiFi connection and you have an account with a service like NetFlix....

Connected to Airport Extreme but not internet

Yesterday after returning from work, all of a sudden I couldn't get any internet access through my airport extreme. I could connect to it and play music through "airtunes".
I looked at the settings of the airport BS and everything looked the way it should. After doing some trial and error I found out that I can get internet access through the airport BS when disabling "Distribute IP addresses".
However with Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can't get iTunes to connect to the airport allowing me to play music wirelessly through my stereo.
Anyway, here's my setup:
Airport:
Wireless mode: Create a wireless Network (Home Router)
Wireless security: WPA2 personal
Channel: Automatic
Create a closed network (checked)
Mode: 802.11g Only
Internet:
Configure: Using DHCP
Network:
Distribute IP addresses (checked)
Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) checked
USE 10.0.1.1 addressing
With that setup I can play music through airtunes but not get any internet connection.
Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can get internet access but not play music through airtunes.
Anybody has an idea what could be wrong?

Yes. Disable that. Using that may make you feel good but the MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned. Instead use WPA with a non-dictionary password.

Why can't my Airport express be found by the airport utility?

Why can't my airport express be seen by the airport utility?

I have the same problem.
I have a Mac Pro OSx10.7.5, a Netgear router, A 1st gen Airport Express Model A1264 set up in Bridge Mode w/ LAN cable as Network 2 for Airplay, the iPad palys music and connects to the internet great through it. I want to extend Network 2 to another set of speakers in another room so I bought another AE A1264. "Like new"
So far I cannot get the computer to see the new AE at all. I have tried it wired to the router, wired to the Mac, wireless near the 1st AE, I've reset it and restarted multiple times. It just isn't showing up at all. ZIP. I get a slow blinking yellow light.
The Airport Utility "Configure Another"comes up with a Mac address I haven't seen before. I don't know if it's the new AE or not. In any case none of the passwords including " " for a password work. It spins and I get an error message that "An error occured while reading the configuration"
Even when it was new the first AE took some doing to be seen by my Mac which was plenty annoying since it should just pop up but it did eventually connect via LAN. Once I configured it it worked on my network.
These things have been a real pain. Please advise.

How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit? I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.

How do I download a home DVD video disk (-R) to iMovie where I can then edit? I can download from a camera, but not from the disk.

iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine. Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone? If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

TS3972 My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet.

My Apple TV connects to the wifi but not to the internet. Currently using a D-Link Router and Shaw Cable in BC Canada.
Apple says "Connections through proxy servers are not supported". Would that be Shaw? How can I update the ATV
software without connecting to a TV and the internet? Can I connect it to my MacBook Pro? ATV worked very well in Arizona
using CenturyLink as an ISP provider and their modem/router. ATV software is 5.0.

What happens when you try to connect? I would contact your ISP

Our IPod connects to the WIFi, but not to the internet.

Our IPod connects to the WIFI, but not to the internet. We have a wireless router which we connect our MACBOOK to the internet and our IPod. The MACBOOK works fine, but not the IPod. It shows to be connected to WIFI, but whenever we try to connect to an internet site i.e. Sarfari, we get an message "Safari cannot open the page becuase it is not connected to the internet". We have tried rebooting, but it has not helped.

Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: 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 the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Setting

I just purchased a wireless connection for my Tivo but the signal strength from my airport express does not allow the tivo to load data. How do I increase the signal strength?

I just purchased a wireless N network adapter for the TIVO premier and am trying to use my apple airport express to connectand it is in the another room. I am only receiving one bar of strength on my network adapter. How can I raise the signal strength of my airport express.

There are several things that might help, not all of which would be feasible depending on your situation: (1) Move the TiVo unit and AirPort Express closer together. (2) Use another AirPort Express to "extend" the network of the first AirPort Express. Put the second AirPort Express half way between the first AirPort Express and the TiVo unit. (3) In the general case, Power-Line equipment might allow the TiVo unit to get a good signal, but it's likely that the Ethernet port of your AirPort Express is probably connected to your broadband modem, so that solution wouldn't work for you. (4) Changing the band or channel that the AirPort Express is using might help. If the TiVo unit is connection on the 5 GHz band, try one of the three-digit channels, which are allowed to use higher power.

Itune on iMac cannot connect to Airport Express, but Itune on XP can

Hello
I've the following situation:
Itune cannot see the Airport Express unless my Iphone Remote controle is connected to Itune. And eventhough, Itune fails to connect to it.
Here is the environment of my network
1) third party LAN/Wireless router (connected to the internet)
2) iMac (10.4.11) connected via the LAN port to the router
3) Airport Express (7.3.2) connected to the wireless network
4) one Iphone connected to the wireless network
5) one XP computer connected to the wireless network
6) All devices are in the same subnet
What really puzzle me is that Itune on the XP laptop can broadcast music to the Airport Express without any issue. But Itune on the Mac does not see at all the Airport Express unless I connect my Iphone to Itune. When I do so, the Airport Express become listed in the status bar of Itune. But if I try to make Itune connect to it, it try for a while then it stop trying without any error message.
I really don't understand what is going on. Does any body can give my a bit more information how Itune and Airport Express communicate? Or have any idea where I should direct my troubleshooting?
Thanks in advance for any help

So did i screw something up last night when i connected using my PC?
That sounds likely. Maybe the security type or password?
And if so how do i re-set the link with my mac??
Try the options described on pp. 30-33 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/AirPort_Express_SetupGuide.pdf
Once you get things working again, suggest you save the settings in a profile. In future when you bring the PC home, create a different profile for experimentation. Switch back to the usual profile when you're done with the PC. Eventually, you should be able to develop one profile that works with both machines.
