Connected to the network but can't get online

Hi there- I have a WRT54G router that is wirelessly connected to an ibook. There are times that there is an additional dell laptop that i need to get online with and although the dell says it is connected to the network (with excellent strength) it can't get online i get the 'problem loading page'. I have used more than one computer with this router before, although in a different apt with a different provider (if that matters). Anyway, this is truly annoying so if anyone has any insight that would be great! I did read in the forums that its possible there is only one IP address, and admittedly my knowledge of networking is basic at best, i know that more than one computer has been connected in the past. I did try turning off the mac then connecting the Dell and it still didn't work. Thanks in advance for ANY advice! Sara

Hi . go through this link for reference . Here , under the "basic wireless settings" subtab , you need to change the wireless network name to any non-linksys name and change the channel to either 1 or 11 .

  • Connected to the network, but can't get out to the Internet

    Here’s my problem… After my previous router died, I recently installed a Netgear wireless router (WGT624NA) with 128-bit WEP security, and created a new wireless network. My Powerbook G4 found the network, and I was able to put in my WEP password, and everything seemed to work fine … for a while. In the last couple of days, I can’t get to any Internet sites.
    I’m connected to the wireless network fine, with a strong signal level, and I seem to be able to Ping out. But when I try to go to (any) Internet site on Safari, I now get “Safari can’t connect to the server”. I’ve gone through the Network Setup Assistant, put in the correct WEP code, and after hitting “continue” from the “You’re now ready to try connecting… “ screen, get “Unable to establish a network connection”.
    I seem to be connected, but can’t get out. Help.

    Hi there,
    A UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is a battery back up, so if you power goes out you can finish up what you're working on and shut down normally.
    I had a similar incident this week, power went out all computers, modem and router went out. After power was restored all started up fine and looked good. Wireless router showed I was connected to the internet but could not surf any site. I had changed my email account password several weeks earlier (email account provided by my ISP) and did not think this had anything to do my boradband connection, but I was wrong.
    To make a long story short, I had to update the password as it related to my broadband connection. The connection was there, it just did not recognize my new password because I had changed it... If you control the account and you've changed any passwords associated with account yu will have to update or your landlord will have to update... make sense?

  • On the network but can't get online

    I am a teacher on a school wireless network and I can’t seem to connect to the internet. My problem has baffled the tech guys here so I was hoping you might have a suggestion.
    I have put the proper password and code in and my signal icon at the top says I am connected to the school wireless network but when I actually try and go online the web browser is blank and eventually times out.
    Other laptops have no problem connecting and as far as I can tell, mine is set up exactly the same as theirs. Can anyone think of any reason for this or have any suggestion of how I could fix it?
    Thanks

    In case you are wondering what this TCP/IP business is. Getting connected requires two separate steps. The first is hooking up with a wireless router, which is equivalent to plugging in an ethernet cable; this is where the WEP password comes in. After that is done, though, your laptop still has to be set up to communicate properly with other computers on the network. Typically, this is done by something called DHCP that gives your laptop a temporary IP address for proper routing of data packet. Your IT spec should have told you how to configure iBook to do this; does he or she know anything about Macs? One would think that a school network would have plenty of Macs.

  • "Connected" to the internet, but can't get on any websites or other pgms...

    A couple nights ago, there was a blackout at my house. This happened while my iMac was on.
    It connects using the Airport wireless modem to my landlord's router 3 stories up.
    Since the blackout, I've been "connected" to his network, but haven't been able to get on any websites. Do I simply need him to reset his router, or is there a deeper problem? Thanks!
    FWIW, this did happen very rarely before the blackout, but is now 100% of the time since....
    Thanks for your help!

  • Showing as connected to the internet but can't get...

    Hi,
    This is my first post so apologies in advance if I'm using this incorrectly!
    I have BT Infinity and have had very few problems since getting it but for the last few days I have been unable to get online. I've called BT a few times and it is showing that I'm connected to the internet so they felt it may be an issue with the Home Hub so are sending me another. In the meantime I have bought another router and connected this to the modem etc and it is showing as being connected to the internet but I still am unable to get online. This is both when connected via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly and is the same across all devices (pc, ipad, iPhone etc). As I say, it is showing as connected to the internet but I can't get online at all. I can via BT Openzone so I know my various devices are working.
    I am almost certain the new Home Hub will not help. It's driving me mad. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    If as you say,you have tried the HH and other routers,and have reset and rewired the connections to the OR modem with no joy,then it leaves only 2 possible causes.
    1)The RJ11 cable from the OR modem to the master socket might be faulty.
    2)But it is most likely to be a fault in the line from the master to the cabinet,or a very noisy line.
    You might need an engineer visit to check at the cab or the line.
    Your local network seems to be in order,as it is indicating a network connection,but if the line is faulty to the cab,then you would not be able to get a stable connection,or no internet.

  • I'm connected to my airport network but can't get online

    2 days ago, i was online and everything was working fine.
    Yesterday, i tried going online and i was told that i was not connected to the internet even though i had full signal bars from my airport. I've restarted my computer a dozen times, checked all my internet connection settings, but nothing worked, i'm still being told that i'm not connected to the internet although internet connect says i am. contrarily, network diagnostics says i am not connected.
    this happened to me once before over the summer. i gave up and didn't use my computer for about a week. when i tried using it again, the internet was just fine. however, i do not have the luxury of waiting a week because my school curriculum requires the use of the internet.
    what's wrong with my computer and how is it that i connected just fine 2 days ago, but cannot since then? please help!

    if relevant, my software versions are as follows:
    Safari 3.1.1
    Internet Connect 1.4.3
    Network Diagnostics 1.0.2

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

  • Connect to wireless network but can't get internet

    Hi
    First time on any sort of technical forum so please bear with me :o)
    I've just received an iPad for Christmas and I CAN get connected to my wireless home network (AOL / Netgear 834g) *but I CAN'T use the Internet*. I hate to say I've been at it for hours (to embarassed to say how many!).
    I've read the discussion forums, read the manuals and I'm sitting here thinking ... AM I THAT THICK... and I fear the answer is YES :o)
    Normally with all my mobile devices I simply add the WEP and I'm connect but this doesn't seem that simple! For one I can't even find where this number would go.. As you can probably tell I'm not technical. I don't want to start messing about with my router settings
    I was soooo delighted with my iPad and now I feel I just want to send it back (I won't of course!).
    Can someone give me some "simple" to follow help / advice / assistance? or am I doomed!
    I eagerly wait some help ;o)

  • I'm connected to the network, but still can't get online!

    I use airport to connect to the internet in my home. I have a very strong signal and my computer says I'm connected to the network, but I still can't connect to the internet. It just stopped working. Running diagnostics doesn't help- it just tells me to restart the device, which I've done over and over to no avail.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Am a newbie but somethings may work here, Go to dock preferences and to network and to your airport connection window.
    You have a green light signal in network status window? If it is yellow or red it is unavailable. If your connection is full of traffic, this may effect connection.
    In window you may need to type in optional search domains. Your provider should tell you this no one else~ They would also walk you through your connection failures. If it is yellow and you connect to your provider's router and don't have your own router, this number may not appear in your connection information. You need to tell them their router is down so they can fix it. They may not find out if pings come back. Pings may also be cached (I am not sure but it might) so it may take them a while to find out if you don't tell them. I would call your provider. Maybe empty your preferences in your browser. You may have cookies or garbage to empty there. Use another browser.

    My computer says it's connected to the internet, but I keep getting a message that my computer can't find the server.  Could there be a problem with my computer's internet connection?

    First, unplug the modem, for at least 10 secs., then unlpug you airport/ wifi/ then try to reconnect.
    If it it does not not work, reconnect your modem, then reconnect your network utilites, use assistance.

    looks like this is your network connection settings problem, you'd better only keep one network adaptor online and linked, if you do not understand how to setup windows routing, this is completely not firefox problem. buddy. wish you goodluck.

    Hello lucky3480;
    I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
    Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
    Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.

  • TS1398 my new ipad works perfectly. the iphone 5, however, cannot connect to the same wifi, can barely get a 3G signal, and the power level is at 53% after being barely used for 1\2 a day. Is this a hardware problem?? My old 3Gs was fine until it died.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Have you tried clearing Safari? Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reboot your iPad. Try again.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6 you close apps like this. Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    If you are running iOS 7, you close apps this way. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
