can momebody tell me what to do to get connected to the internet?i just got an Ipad2 16gb,i have a strong WIFI signal.two other computer working in the house.

If you have what appears to be a strong signal, but it reports no Internet, then your router is not giving your iPad a connection and the iPad is self assigning an IP which falsely reports a strong signal. Go to Settings/Wi-Fi and tap the arrow to the right of the LAN to which your iPad says that it is connected. If the IP is 169... then you are not getting an IP from your router. Try resetting the router, updating the firmware or restoring it to factory settings. Some older routers do not like newer machines.

ok well like lllaass said, most apps require 4.3 or later iOS software. chances are since the apps worked before, the apps themselves got updated and will no longer work with your software version.

I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

The wireless symbol is present and indicates a strong signal, but I can not connect to the Internet.

The wireless symbol is present and indicates a strong signal, but I can not connect to the Internet. I'm on my home network and have never had trouble before. My iPad is current on all updates. I have tried to reset the network settings, nothing has worked. I can connect to the internet via my iPhone personal hotspot and all other wireless devices are operating normally on my home wireless network.

I am also having this issue. My boy just got an iPod 4 touch, upgraded to iOS 6. I have a D-Link DGL-4300 108G Wireless Gaming Router. With the iPod I can connect to the router, get an IP address (either DHCP or Static) and even browse through the menu on the router, but I can't connect to the internet.
With a DHCP IP address the iPod give the error "Not connected to the internet" with the static IP address it takes a long time when trying to connect to a website but then it gives the error "server stopped responding".
Clearly the issue is in some setting in the router. I've tried setting up a filter so that the iPod will always have access based on MAC address. I've tried changing the various wireless connection settings, all to no avail. I would greatly appreciate some guidence here.

My wifi shows a strong signal but then i cannot connect to the internet (safari or apps). what is wrong? internet is working fine on my laptop.

Is this a new issue with your iPad meaning that you have been able to connect to the Internet in the past?
If it worked before try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Sometimes restarting the iPad is all it takes as well. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also reset Network Settings - go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.Or go to Settings>WiFi>tap the blue arrow next to your network>Forget this Network. In either of those cases, you will have to rejoin your WiFi network and enter your password again.

Wi-fi link is ok (strong signal), but safari is unable to connect to internet. Some setup I'm missing?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices sucessfully connect?
Try:
- Reset 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>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

WRT610N Woes - strong signal but dropping internet

So I've had a WRT610N since June 2011 - working flawlessly without having to think about it at all, I just plugged it in and it's been on default settings and never gave us any trouble.
About a week ago the power went out - and it caused the router to reset itself to factory settings. I set it back up with our network name and security and didn't think much of it. After that, we started noticing issues on our phones and the laptop in the kitchen.
I work in the same room as the router, on wifi, and have not had the signal drop once since then - my work laptop is about 3-4 feet from the router. Another PC hard-wired through the router works fine
Streaming over the 5GHz band to the tv, one room over, works flawlessly, as does netflix/youtube/etc on the TV.
Once you get to the kitchen, on the laptop in there (which has been there for months without issue), the wifi is totally flaky. This is maybe 40 feet from the router, through only 1 wall. The signal reports 3-4 bars, and windows always reports 'internet access' for the status of the connection, but the connection regularly drops and you must manually disconnect and reconnect to wifi to regain internet access. It is the same story with phones if you are more than about 20 feet from the router - they have a strong signal, but will regularly drop, requiring you to disconnect and reconnect. Both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands appear to be behaving the same way.
Normally, I would just say the power outage fried the thing and get a new one - but it is working flawlessly at short range, and still giving a strong signal at longer range - just not keeping the internet up.
I've factory reset it multiple times since this started happening. I've tried different settings on both bands, different security, no security, etc. But nothing seems to be helping, which is why I'm posting here - help!
Thank you for reading.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

2 days in and no issues yet - I think we can call this resolved for now.
Thank you so, so much!

AccessPoint strong signal but little or no connectivity

I'm having trouble with our wireless access point. We use Cisco 1100. For starters, when you connect, you get a strong signal but little or no connectivity. Any advice?
Thanks,
DJ

If by "Little or No Connectivity" you are talking about a Microsoft balloon in the lower right corner of your screen, that is telling you that you are connected, but it didn't get a DHCP address, it's using the APIPA 169.254.x.x.
Verify that you can get to the DHCP server, and that it is responding correctly.
As a quick test, assign an IP address (mask, default gateway, DNS) manually and see if it makes a difference for you.
Good Luck
Scott

Hi,I am unsure if I have a safari or modem problem. It only happens when I use my macbook pro, my HP windows is fine. Internet crashes on modem and then a message that safari is not connected. I don't know where to start sorry I am not technical at all.

Hi there, my internet is crashing everytime I use my macbook pro/safari it happens roughly every 2 mins, it can happen on any website.
I am not technical at all and I am at a total loss of where to start with this. I did a bit of research on the internet but no luck in finding any
help.
Basically I am not sure if it is a modem of safari problem. I have no problems when using my HP on without windows explorer on the internet.
I am working wireless ADSL 2 - Bigpond - 2 Wire 2701 HGV-W and a macbook pro purchased around 5 months ago. Since the purchase date
I have had problems with internet.
Safari brings up a page you are not connected to the internet. I then look at the modem and DSL and internet lights are both flickering and or/off.
They then re-set themselves. I then have to re-set preferences on safari and quit and restart.
I have also tried using with cable into mac and modem and no difference.
I can only figure that maybe Safari is not compatible with the modem? could this be the case?
Thanks for reading and any assistance would be appreciated.

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

I have a wifi strong signal but anytime i try to browse i will have a message telling me safari is not connected to the internet,what should i do to get connected to the internet.?
