Can't connect to Internet through working WiFi connections

My system is constantly getting bad IP addresses from wireless base stations. Problem started while I'm traveling. At last location, of my three computers my PC would connect, but the two Macs kept having problems. Both worked at first, but then one or the other would get 169. IP addresses. One would seldom connect after restarting. The other would eventually get a good address.
I'm now at location number two. My Mac connected once, but now keeps getting bad IP addresses. Two PCs are working here, and so is another Mac. Restarting, running diagnostics, resetting the modem, and trying to renew the DHCP lease are all not working. Very frustrating.
I launched iChat on both Macs but mine can't see the other Mac. My Mac says I'm connected to the network, but can't surf the internet. Tried to manually enter IP numbers but that didn't work either.

For clarity, the 169. addy is not bad, it's self assigned, as is usual when it can't find any being handed out.
Try making a New Location as a test.
Try making a New User as a test.

I'm not able to connect to internet through my wifi router, which is Sitecom 150N working fine with pc

I'm not able with ipod touch to connect to internet through my wifi router, which is Sitecom 150N working fine with pc

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address when the iPod 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 iPod (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 model and version (the 150n designation is not a unique model), the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), is MAC address filtering being used, etc.

Not connected to internet through airport xtreme (connection is ok) after upgrading iOS6

after upgrading to iOS6 none of my mobile devices (running iOS6) can go online on internet through my airport extreme. My MAC is using the same without problem.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Can it connect to internet network without wifi connection?

Let's say my house doesnt have wifi connection, can i still connect to apple tv with LAN cable connection? If it works, can i still connect to my apple device from the apple tv?

Yes, you can connect with Lan cable without WiFi

Internet not working - wifi connected but internet and server fail, ethernet cable doesn't work either

All of a sudden the internet on our Macbook Pro does not work. We connect through an Airport Extreme and other mac works fine. It shows that wifi is fully connected but when i go to diagnostics, i see the internet and server are failing. I tried connecting an ethernet cable and it doesn't work that way either. Have restarted and reset modem and router, nothing is working… help!

Hi ehamzic1,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand how frustrating it can be when your computer cannot connect to the internet. In your situation, you will need to isolate to find what is causing the issues connecting. I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article. The article should help you troubleshoot and resolve this situation.

Satellite C655D-S5533 can't connect to internet through ethernet (wireless connection ok)

I can't get an ethernet connection thru my ISP's (Comcast) internet cable box. I clicked the LAN icon on control panel but still can't connect.

First, reboot the Comcast box and then reboot the computer. If it still doesn't work, look in Device Manager under Network Adapters. If the LAN adapter shown there is Atheros, reinstall using THIS driver. If it says something else, post back. I'm assuming you are still using Windows 7 64 bit that came with the machine.

Mac mini won't connect to internet despite displaying wifi connection

My Mac Mini says it is connected to the internet, but when I attempt to load a website it just continuously says the webpage is loading for a few minutes until eventually saying "This webpage is not availabe" (Chrome).
The internet works fine on all of the other devices in the apartment (iMac, Macbook Pro x 2, iPhones, Windows laptop, PS3, etc.).
I have tried to find the answer elsewhere on the internet but nothing has seemed to work.
When I run diagnostics, on the lefthand side the ISP, Internet, and Server dots go from green to red every few seconds. When they turn red they each say "Failed" underneath them.
I have no idea what the issue could be. The Mac Mini is running OS X Mavericks and its software is up to date.
Another point to mention is that, even if the wi-fi is working on the other devices, if I reset the wi-fi it occassionally works on the Mac Mini for a couple of minutes or so.

First off you are making the common mistake of confusing the WiFi LAN (Local Area Network) with the internet (a.k.a. WAN or Wide Area Network). Your LAN is the gateway to the internet. It is entirely possible to have a solid connection to the LAN and all the devices on the LAN without having an internet connection.
When you say "..reset the wifi.." did you reset everything or just the router?
The correct procedure would be to
begin with the devices on the LAN (WiFi network) and power each of them down,
then power down the router,
if there is a separate modem end by powering it down.
Give everything a good 30 seconds or so
power up the modem and wait for it to connect and stabalize (all the lights quit flashing.)
If there is a separate router then power it up and wait for it to stabalize,
next power up the mini and wait for it to connect then test to see if it is connecting to the internet.
Finally, one at a time power up each of the other network devices waiting for each to connect before going to the next.
It is important that you reset everything and the order in which you reset the various network devices is CRITICAL.

After updated OS X 10.9.5 this afternoon, I couldn't connect to Internet through wifi. Please help me!!!

After I updated osx 10.9.5 I can't connect to internet through wifi. So, what the problem please help me to solve this problem urgent!!!

I've been having horrible wifi connectivity problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Air for the last several weeks. I just realized today that the problems started around the time that I upgraded to 10.9.5 on September 17th.
It's reached the point where I keep Airport Utility up in a corner of my screen so I can see whether I have internet or not before hitting Send or Post.
After reading Linc Davis' post from September 27th, above, I ran the Wireless Diagnostics when I lost internet. Internet access came back while the diagnostics were running. I pressed Continue and lost connection while the second was running. Based on Airport Utility, I do not have connectivity more than I do.
Note that Airport Utility usually shows that it can see the router, but there is no Internet access. Other times it shows that it can not see the router.
Wireless Diagnostics suggested that I restart the router (a new Airport Extreme that I installed in August.) Restarted the router did not solve anything.
All other devices, wired and wireless, are working fine. The affected device is the only one running 10.9.5 wirelessly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TS1253 I am connected to internet through modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless. Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
So, do you really want to try this? There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

How can I get my Mac to connect faster to the Internet? My wifi connection is fine....don't know why Safari and other web browsers are so slow.

If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

How to Parameter WRT54GS to connect to Internet through Livebox-2 ?

I intend to connect a network built around the WRT54GS to Internet by passing through a second network who is already connected to Internet through the Orange Livebox-2 (French).
I have a traditional home network with basic shares on the French Orange Livebox-2 and its WiFi.
The computers runs XP - Pro .
My ADSL access is normally through the Livebox-2
(Range of addresses 192.168.1.xxx) and I run DHCP
Working Group "WORKGROUP".
It works without problem (Internet and VoIP telephony) except the Wifi of the Livebox which is known as poor (range and stability).
I also manages a small "pedagogical workshop" for the school who visit my mill.
This network is available to my young visitors based on a (tower) server containing the libraries and teaching materials and its printer. It’s XP - Pro machine. and to allow a maximum of two laptops be WiFi connected.
The second network is built around the Linksys router (wich integrates no modem, simply a router).
The WRT54GS router (rev 6) whose firmware is original Linksys up to date.
I am setting the two Wi-Fi (Livebox 6 Cnl) and Cnl 4 on WRT54GS and different keys (this is manageable without difficulty).
It has its server DHCP and Wi-Fi to connect their machine.
What about the name of this second network group ? Currently “WORKGROUP” as well.
I am setting a range different on the router WRT54GS (192.168.2.xxx) and enabled the DHCP.
This "educational" network works perfectly when alone and separated from the "home" network and doesn’t get connected to Internet…
I want to connect this router Linksys WRT54GS rev6 cascading through the Livebox-2.
Share Internet via the Livebox-2 access.
What about functionality?
What is the connection to setup ?
Should it be simple physical connection with a cable between the yellow ethernet port "2" of the Liveboxbox and the "Internet" connector of the Linksys router?
Is this a good track to explore? I have searched extensively on the Internet but found proposals who are very old and refer to old Livebox... I did test and is not satisfactory...
I have described as well as possible the needs and the config!
It is the experts to speak now !
I am available for further information.
HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE INTER CONNECTIVITY?

From what I understand, you want to extend your internet connection - from the Orange Livebox-2 to your WRT54GS. You can actually do this by cascading the linksys router to your livebox. There are tow ways in cascading routers: LAN-LAN and LAN-WAN. For more information about cascading routers, you may refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=104&....

TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?
i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

You cannot 'roll back' your iOS. That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
It's not the iOS. It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue. But it's not the iOS. If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
Troubleshoot your issue.
