Can connect to Linksys WRT54G but can't get to the internet.

PowerBook G4 17" 1GHz with OS 10.5.4
Linksys WRT54G v8.00.5
SpeedStream DSL Modem
I am having a strange issue. I am able to connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook and can see the Linksys setup page, but I cannot get on the internet. If I bypass the router I can get online with my PowerBook. If I use an ethernet cable connected to my Linksys I can get online with my PowerBook. My Sony Viao can connect wirelessly and get on the internet with no issue. My PlayStation 3 and PSP have no issues. It is solely this machine that is having the issue. I contacted Linksys and went through their troubleshooting to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue may be, or what I can try to resolve this issue? I have done everything I can think of and no luck. Any ideas?

I plugged the IP address into Safari and, although there were 27 errors, the page loaded. I hadn't tried that before. Interesting.
The fact that the ping worked means you are connected to the Internet, and what is likely failing (causing the "You are not connected" message) is DNS name resolution.
DNS name resolution is what converts names like "www.opendns.com" to numbers, like the numbers I gave above, 208.67.219.99.
Changing your system to use the OpenDNS DNS servers, as directed above, will fix the name resolution issue on your system.

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC. I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

- Did it successfully connect to the network before?
- Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
- Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
- Have you reset your iPod?
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Powered off and then back on your router
- The troubleshooting here:

-When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod? If not try that.
- If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection. If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
First the techincal details:
OS for all machines = Windows XP
Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all). I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired.
Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution? Thanks.

A new discovery...
When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet. So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled).
I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Toshiba Thrive tablet connects to Linksys E1000, but can't browse internet

HELP! I bought my wife a Toshiba Thrive 16GB tablet for Christmas and have spent 3 hours being bounced back and forth between Toshiba and Cisco support!
I have a wireless network with a Linksys E1000 router. I'm using WPA2 Personal security, MAC filtering is turned off, and all other settings are basically default. I have updated it to the latest firmware version (2.1.02). I have 2 laptops, a wireless access point for my DirecTV DVR and WII (with a switch in-between) and an Apple IPhone 4. All of these devices have NO problem connecting wirelessly to the router and browsing the Internet.
I set the tablet up, connected to my network (checked the password and security settings 6 times). The tablet shows that it is connected to my local network. However, when I try to access the Internet, it hangs. Fortunately, there is some idiot in the neighborhood who has an unsecured network. I connected the tablet to that network and VOILA! I was able to browse, download the latest updates for the tablet, etc.
So, I thought, OK, let's disable all security on my router, so I set the wireless security to "disabled". Saved, and restarted. The tablet STILL won't browse the internet!
I'm tired of being tossed back and forth with techs who are clueless. Has anyone had any problem similar to this with an Android-based device?
I would think that if the tablet is accepted with its credentials that it would allow internet access! One final thing that I tried was turning on MAC filtering and allowing access using the MAC address and that still didn't work.
When I look at the details of the connection on the tablet, it shows a strong signal, the SSID name, and the IP address that it was assigned by DHCP. I hope that someone can help, otherwise I'll have to go back to Best Buy and exchange it for some other tablet. I purposely bought this one over the IPad2 because the battery can be swapped out for a freshly charged one and the memory can be upgraded to add up to 128GB with a SD memory card.
Any help is appreciated as I have torn out the few remaining hairs on my head! <LOL>

I'm replying to my own posting as I have solved the problem and wanted to post it in case anyone else has the same problem. I would venture to say that upcoming updates to the Android system may solve this problem.
For some reason, when the Thrive is set for DHCP ip addressing, it is not going out to the internet. So, I changed the network profile to manual with a static IP address. I also input the router address and DNS addresses with the router's IP address. As soon as I saved the changes it was magic. The tablet connected and internet speed was lightning fast.
So, anyone having problems, give this a try as you'll not get anywhere with Cisco or Toshiba support.

Can connect to LAN wirelessly but can not connect to the internet.

The problem:
I can connect to the wireless router and modem router wireless and can browse the router setting web pages etc without issue. However i can not browse the internet, send or receive mail etc.
The setup:
A Belkin/iinet modem connects to the internet (ip 10.1.1.1), a DLink 565 then broadcasts the signal wirelessly (ip 10.1.1.100).
What i have tried:
Trusty old powercycle
I know the internet is working via the wifi as my ipod touch has full internet functionality through my wifi.
I have tried using ip address instead of urls to browse the web to no luck.
I have tried deleting Libary\Preferences\SystemConfiguration\preferences.plist
I have tried reseting the DHCP lease.
The only other thing i know works (eventually) is if i constantly change locations back and forth and turn airport on and off repeatedly, eventually i will get on the wifi but that can take upwards of an hour.
The macbook also works fine via ethernet connected to the wireless router.

Check these details:
1. Right click your wireless connection
2. Select STATUS
3. Select the SUPPORT tab
4. Select the DETAILS button
You should see a page with all sorts of network details.
Make sure that you see the following:
1. You have an assigned IP address from your router
2. You have a default gateway address -- typically the IP address of your router.
3. A primary and alternate DNS server address (the router gets
these from your ISP and passes them along during DHCP connect
processing.)
I found that step #3 did not happen reliably. Your mileage may vary. I set DNS server values into my router, based on what I got from my ISP, so that the connect-time data handoff was not required. A large part of my troubles went away.

ARD3.1, can connect on local net, but not out to home over internet

I'm stumped on this one,
Checked my Port Forwarding on Router (Netgear R614)
checked my firewall settings, all ports properly forwarded
both client and admin are running ARD 3.1
if I'm on the local network, the admin will connect
to the client either through Bonjour or Local Network.
But if you try and connect via Internet WEb address,
as published on whatismyip.com, an error stating that it cannot
connect is given.
any help much appreciated.

I too am having this same problem. Host computer is running ARD 3.1, with verizon dsl, no firewall, no router. Client computer is running ARC 3.1 with verizon dsl, no firewall, no router. It worked at home when both computers were on the same intranet, but now that they are on the internet, I can not get a connection.
When I initiate observe or control, I get "Connecting to "pool-72-82-XXX-XXX.cmdnnj.east.verizon.net". Then it times out with "connection failed to...". I tried pinging the address and get a return. Not sure what to do. If I still have to enable port forwarding or opening ports, I have found instructions in other posts. But I figured since I did not have a firewall or router active, at least during the test phase, I shouldn't need to open any ports. Any guidance would be appreciated. Sorry to step on the OP, but a question was posed to him and he did not reply yet.

Wifi ipad2 can connect to wifi hotspot but can't browsing with wifi so what should i do?

sometimes ago i can browsing the internet with wifi, but now i can not browsing with my wifi.( wifi hotspot is the same not change) .
anyone can help me ?

Normally i compare to my friend samsang mobile me and my friend both are same place his mobile receiving signal 3point (signal range) but my iphone5s received only 1point(signal range)
You are posting in the Time Capsule area.. do you have a time capsule?
If not the question is better to ask in the iphone discussion area.
We cannot really make much comment on the iphone here as it is an area we specialise in Time Capsule problems.
If your phone is so poor compared to the samsung it sounds like you are using a non-apple router. Certainly the apple routers can have issues but there are some troubleshooting steps you can do.
Reset the TC (used for time capsule from now on) to factory, and use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Set different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.
So TC name = TC
2.4ghz name = TC24ghz
5ghz name = TC5ghz
Use only wpa2 personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
Now test by manually setting channels, 11, 6, 1 in that order for 5ghz.
36, 40, 44 and 149 or greater for 5ghz.
Force the phone to join 2.4ghz rather than 5ghz for the best range.

My Ipod is connected to my wifi, but i cant go on the internet.

i have done everthing i know. i have done EVERYTHING on the apple support page, ive disabled my firewall, i reserved my IP adress, i asked to join networks, reset network settings, i even reset my entire ipod. i can join pretty much every other port except mine. i used to have a 3rd generation ipod. i would be able to skype call my ipod, with my new 4th generation (the one with wifi problems) i dont understand, how i can skype the other ipod, but i cant go onto safari or youtube. i also noticed, that my ipod does not say what channel it is on. im wondering if that could be the problem.

Fudgeyberry... have u tried checking your router?? try checking your router and try switching some cables around because one of the cables might be on the wrong place.. that is what happened to me too.. it showed the 3 bars in the ipod saying its connected but couldnt go on the internet.. i found out one cable of the router was on the wrong place.. fixed it.. and it worked :D

I am connected to my Wifi but not able to access the internet

I am connceted to my Wifi but unable to access the internet. Please help!

Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address when the iPad requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Can connect HP3920 to PCs but can't connect to Mac using AirPort Express...

Yes, this is my problem, almost unbelievable!!!
I have a HP Deskjet 3920 attached on an AirPort Express and I did add it in my two PCs (one XP and another Vista) using Bonjour for Windows but no way to add it in my MacBook (Leopard).
I tried everything but apparently there is no way to do that... I just want to know why and what do I need to look for when choosing a printer...
Regards,
Alex

Solved.
I had likely the same problem. It was solved by replacing the home router internal connections with a real switch.
Many home routers will not properly multicast the required Airplay/Bonjour multicasts. Netgear and D-Link for instance does not work, although some ASUS routers work if you turn off IGMP snooping and fiddle with the firewall, but only with some firmware, so it is very iffy.
So, in my case, I connect Internet modem <-> router <-> switch <-> access points <-> devices
Works without any problem. Also the wired devices connect to the switch.
Do not connect any Airplay devices to the router!

Ive recently moved to Muscat in Oman and had wireless installed in my apartment. I can connect to my laptop but my Ipad will not connect. Any suggestions

Trying to connect to my Ipad. I've used it in coffee shops in Muscat and the hotel without any problem. I've now had wireless installed in the apartment. I can connect to my laptop but I cannot get the Ipad connected to the wireless - I've tried everything. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. I've also tried Omantel who installed the wireless without any help.

Usually I suggest checking that your WiFi router firmware is up to date, but your router was just installed. Still, it might be worth checking with the manufacturer's web site.
Here are Apple's support articles:
