Connecting to internet at home

My iPod Touch sees my home wifi network, but no IP address, Subnet Mask or Router info appears. When I try to connect I get Error 7. I have reset my network settings on the iPod, but this did not solve the problem. I contacted my internet service provider, but they said that this is not THEIR problem, and offered no further assistance. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Here's some possible help.

  • Time Capsule won't connect to internet at home but works at Apple Store. Internet connection is fine through ethernet - any ideas?

    A few days ago my Time Capsule stopped connecting to the internet at home. My internet connection is fine when I connect directly via ethernet. However when I plug the ethernet into the Time Capsule, it doesn't progress past the solid amber light. Doing a hard reset doesn't do anything. I took it to the Genius Bar two seperate times, and both times they were able to get it working there, but when I get it home it won't work. Any ideas of what the problem might be?

    Try resetting your broadband modem.  Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments.  If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes.  Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one.  In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router.  If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.

  • Having trouble connecting to internet at home only, no problems elsewhere

    I have tried searching the forums and can't find anything exactly comparable. I have a newer MacBook (purchased within a few months) but the same problem happened with my old Powerbook G4, too. I cannot always connect to the internet on my home network. The other computers on the network work fine, I have full bars on my airport status, green lights on the router, etc but I keep getting the error message that my computer isn't connected to the internet. The only thing that seems to get it to connect is to restart my computer. Sometimes I need to restart my computer several times before I can get a connection. Sometimes I try and try and it still won't connect, so I leave the computer for a while and when I come back and try again, it will randomly connect. I had this same problem with my old Powerbook and when I got this new one, it's the same problem. When I'm traveling, though, and try to connect to a different network, I never have this problem. It connects every time! I'm not very technical, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I did find on the forums that sometimes people can't connect if they are disconnected from the power source, but can connect fine when connected to the power source...I seem to have problems wether I'm connected to the power source or not. Thanks for any suggestions.

    The people having problems not connecting without AC power was from the last OSX update to 10.5.8, this problem has since been resolved with an Airport Client update.
    Your profile shows that you are running 10.5.6... I would suggest updating you software to the latest 10.5.8 as this fixed some Airport issues.
    You may want to unplug the router, let it set a minute the plug it back in.
    Is your Powerbook still having these issues? How long has the powerbook been experiencing this problem?

  • My Apple tv has connection problems. I receive not connected to internet or home sharing not on even though it is

    Apple TV is allways asking me to turn on home sharing, home sharing is allready on so I have turn it off and then turn it back on. Also it is telling me that it is not connected to the internet even though I entered my network key correctly and all my other Apple wireless devices are working perfectly. Any ideas please ?

    Having reread your post, i note you say you connected the thernet cable to a wifi extender, are you by any chance using the wifi extender when trying wifi and by extender do you mean a WDS extended network. I have seen quite a few reports that networks extended using WDS have problems.
    Although it may be a weak signal, are you able to temporarily disable WDS to see if this resolves the connection issue.

  • After using hotel wifi,cannot connect to internet at home network

    after using wifi in the hotels this week, i cannot connect to the internet via my home network. I'm connected to the wifi but, can't connect to the internet.

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when it connects to internet

    All of a sudden my computer freezes (spinning wheel) anytime I connect it to the internet. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I have rebooted several times and have enough memory. What could it be? Thanks in advance

    China telecom refused to change the router as it run perfectly for all the other equipment (Iphone, IPAD, ITOUCH and PC computer).
    it is really strange that this macbook snow leopard is frozen as soon as it connect to internet at home.

  • I'm unable to browse the internet at home on my Macbook Pro (10.6.3), even though it shows I am connected to the wireless network with full bars.

    This problem began weeks ago, when I suddenly couldn't browse the Internet at home despite being fully connected to the network. The network was a private, password-protected wireless network set up through a Netgear router.
    I have spent hours troubleshooting and have tried multiple fixes including resetting PRAM, deleting and re-creating Airport, deleting and re-creating networks, changing IP and DNS, etc. to no avail. My roommate's PC works perfectly fine on the same wireless network.
    This seems to be an issue with networks I use long-term. I can connect fine to networks at Starbucks, etc. for short-term use. Also, while trying to troubleshoot my connection issues on my home network over the last few weeks, I'd been using my apartment complex's public wireless connection (no password) with no issues. All of a sudden, I am having the same exact issue with that network. It's like something just snaps and maybe gets configured wrong after a few weeks or months of use.
    I am desperate to find a fix, since now I can't use the internet AT ALL while at home and need it for work.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

    Assuming he works for a company, the first person to talk to is whoever is in charge of the company's network. Most company networks are firewalled, and usually won't permit access except by authorized users with company-approved VPN software.

  • Connecting through my personal home office to internet when I'm in China?

    When traveling on business in China I often can't get to certain websites and have been told that I should set up a network or server using my personal home computer & router which is always on. I'm on a very fast DSL though my home router. I don't know how to go about setting the parameters so when I'm traveling and on a high speed internet connection at my hotel in China I can use my home computer and router to surf the internet and bypass their restrictions & censors. Would like to know how to set up the computer and the router. Step by step if possible or is there a program that would set up my Mac or a set of published directions that I can set my browser to go to and read or printout the diections. I would be most grateful for help with this.

    Perhaps what they meant was to have a system connected and running at home and then to use a program such as Apple's Remote Desktop, or Timbuktu, or VNC, etc, to remotely operate the system at home which will not have the same restrictions as your connection in China.
    Or - if you setup a VPN connection at home (if your hardware/software can do so) then perhaps getting an IP throught he VPN and using that as a gateway migth get you around the restriction.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

    I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable.  This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

    Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
    Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
    Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
    Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
    Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
    Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
    Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
    If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

  • Im connected to my home-wifi but it's not connected to internet?

    I updated my both iPhones and ipad2 a few weeks ago to the newest version of ios 5.01,  but yesterday My iPad lost the connection to internet, but i'm connected to My home WIFI, i have checked all of my other units, such as computer, both iPhones, my smart tv, and they all work fine.
    I have also tried to connect through static by manually type in ip, router etc with no success :(
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Sebastian T

    Each IP address on your local network must be unique.
    You might be able to enter static information but if DHCP is being used then you must use IP addresses that do not conflict with the IP addresses being used for DHCP.
    I think that you need to find out why DHCP has stopped working on your router/modem.
