IPod touch recognizes Wireless Router, But Can't Connect To Internet.

Hello everyone,
My iPod Touch 3rd Gen 3.1.2 recognizes the router and connects to it, but no WiFi meter is showing (the one at the top left corner near "iPod")
15 minutes after I had been using the internet on my iPod touch 2G, I find that my iPod's WiFi connection was disconnected. At first I thought this was a router/modem problem, but I am able to use WiFi through all my computers at home. I tried forgetting the network, resetting my router, and resetting the network settings, but the results are the same.
When I go to Settings>Wi-Fi>[more router options] , the iPod does not show any IP address or subnet mask or router info. But there is a checkmark right next to my router's name.
When I try going to Safari, it gives me a "cannot open page" error: "Operation could not be completed. Invalid argument."
I am using a Linksys WRT310N under WPA2 encryption.
Please help!
Thank you

Nevermind. For some odd reason, it decides to work again a couple of hours later. Really weird, but at least it's working fine now.

Airport is connected to my wireless network, but can't connect to internet

I'm a first time mac user. Earlier today our power went out, and when it came back on, our wireless router reset. We currently have 4 computers that we connect to the internet; 2 of them are Macs, 2 of them are PCS. Both of the PCs are connected to the internet with no problems, but both of the macs refuse. I've run diagnostics on both computers, and it says it can't find an error. I've contacted my provider, and my internet service is not the problem.
It keeps saying that AirPort is connected to the wireless router (my wireless router), but cannot connect to the internet. I've been trying to fix this for over 3 hours now. I work nights, and need my computers for work, so as it sands i'm currently losing money over this Can anyone help please?

Welcome!
Can you clarify what model iMacs you have? This forum is for the older G4 iMAcs with the articulated monitor and a hemispherical base. However, due to poor forum labeling, many people with newer iMacs are lured to this area. Reset procedures may vary with model so it's important we know which variant you have. Use "About the Mac" in the Apple menu to find your processor type--that should be enough for now.
Once you you figure out the processor type, append it to the equipment info in you profile, Example: it now says "iMac." If you find yours has a G5 processor, change it to read "iMac G5." That will save you a lot of keystrokes down the road.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle. Also, my password will not work when a visitor uses it for a laptop (even a Mac) or any other device that uses the internet. It says the password is incorrect. I easily connected a Kindle last year, but I got a new one & now I can not connect wirelessly. I see no tab to create a guest network. I do not mind giving my password to visitors, but that does not work.

If you temporarily disable wireless encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), can the Kindle connect to the router and gain access to the Internet now? If so, then I would suggest that you reconfigure the AEBSn to use "WPA2 Personal" for the Wireless Security setting, and then, try connecting with the Kindle again.
As far as establishing a Guest Network, the AEBSn must not be in bridge mode. That is, it should be the only router in your current network and directly conncted to the Internet modem. If it is, then you would find the Guest Networking option on the AirPort > Guest Networking tab:

IPod no longer detect the router and can't connect to internet

Hey guys, i'm new in the community and thought that you may can help me with a lil' problem.
I bought my iPod one month ago and at first successfully connected to internet, then download the iOS 4.3 and continued working well for a few days 'till it just stop connecting to the web. I searched everywhere and found some things that helped but not solved my problem.
I have all my network data, the IP, Subnet Mask and DNS, the only one that does NOT work is the Router. I even tried putting the numbers myself by Static, but it didn't work.
Can somebody help me or tell me what da **** is goin' on?
By the way, my Internet service is Prodigy Infinitum ('cause i'm Mexican).
Thanks(:

Can See Wireless Network, But Can't Connect

I am able to see the linksys wireless network under my wireless options, but when I try to connect, it says there was an error joining the network. I have been able to connect before with no problem. Two other wireless enabled computers in my house are able to connect to the network, but not mine. If I plug into the ethernet port on the wireless router, I can get internet. I've already tried the instructions from the "Getting Association (signal strength), but no Internet access" article, but nothing changed. Also I've upgraded the firmware and restarted both the router and my computer, but nothing helped. I don't know of anything that I did to my computer from the day it was working to the day to the day it stop working. I have Mac OS 10.4 fyi. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is it my computer that is the problem or the router?

After you upgrade the firmware in the router, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Also, in the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall, and see it this helps.

Connected to WiFi but can't connect to internet

Hi all,
My iPod touch is connected to my secure home wifi network, the wifi icon is displayed with 4 bars, and I can use some wireless apps like Remote for itunes. I can connect to the internet on my laptop, but not my iPod. When I try to use safari/itunes/app store I'm told the device is not connected to the internet. Up to today everything had been working fine, and I haven't changed any settings. MAC filtering on the router is not enabled, I've tried turning wifi off and on again on the ipod, resetting all settings and turning the ipod on and off again but still no connection.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Reset the router, did the trick. Had the wrong IP address ie. 169.xx... rather than 192.xx.. Resetting the wireless router remedied this.

Computer is connected to network but can't connect to internet (Safari and Chrome), e-mail, App Store, ect.

My Macbook is connected to Wi-fi (four bars) but can't connect to the internet or any other services that requires internet. Other devices in my house have easily connected to the internet but every time I open Chrome it says: "This webpage is not available". What do I do?

Restart your internet modem and router and your Mac then try Safari etc.
If that doesn't help, try this DNS server ..
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Try a browser.
if that doesn't help, check the firewall. System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options

Airport card working but can't connect to internet

hi all,
airport card (just plain airport card) is working and is connected to a verizon fios router. signal very strong. just can't connect to internet via safari, camino or firefox. running 10.3.9 os. i've rebooted twice to no avail.
altho, i can connect on my g4 powerbook using the same router.
why isn't the g4 flat panel imac connecting? any ideas?

In the Network system preference panel, is the wireless component
selected and in the list of items in the configuration the Mac sees?
You can drag the item(s) into preferred order of use, if there is more
than one, ie: dialup modem, ethernet connection, airport base.
If both computers have a similar operating system, it may be an
idea to look carefully into each, and not change anything in the
one which appears to work correctly; to look for differences.
Does the wireless router provide support for 802.11/b as well
as wi-fi 802.11/g? The older airport card runs on the older spec.

Why is my iPod touch able to see my iMac as a wireless router but can't actually share the connection properly?

So I've set up Ethernet Internet Sharing via my iMac, and my iPod Touch and other devices can see the network. I type in the password, it succeeds but instead of a tick appearing I get the grey loading wheel forever. Why can I 'connect' to the network but not actually gain internet access? I've even tried no password and the same thing happens.
Thanks for your time.

i have same problem if i close sharing and reoopen my sharing i get a 1-5 minute connection
not sure 1-5 minutes is helpful but if i solve it i will let you know

My ipod touch is saying that I can't connect to itunes because i need the latest update but when i hook it up to my computer it says i have the latest update. where do i go from here?

i just got an ipod touch secondhand. when i try to go to itunes its says "request cannot be completed" then when i search for apps on the internet and try to download them it say I need to update my itunes, but then when I sync my ipod to my computer its says I have the most recent update.

I think that the message is telling you that you need a newer version of the iOS on your iPod. If the computer has iTunes 10.5 installed then your iPod is maxed out.
- A 1G iPod can go to 3.1.3 and you get that here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
- A 2G to 4.2.1
- A 3g and 4G to 5.

No Problem hooking up Vista laptop with WRT110 Wireless Router but can not get XP laptop to see it

I purchased a WRT110 Linksys wireless router this afternoon and had no problem configuring it for my wired desktp and my wireless Vista laptop, but my Acer XP wireless laptop will not even see the network. I have tried WEP, WAP, and no security, but I can see the neighbors routers but I can not see mine. My XP laptop is an Acer 3680-2574 with a Broadcom 802.11g network adapter.

Is the SSID enabled on the router ?
What is the firmware on the router ?

I had to move my modem and router, when I reconnected them my desktop connected fine but I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet. It recognizes the network but won't connect to internet.

I recently had to unplug my router and modem. When I reconnected and rest them my desktop computer connected finr but I am having trouble getting my ipad to reconnect.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
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.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

IPOD touch OS 3.1.2 can't connect to wifi with hidden SSID

This isn't so much a question, rather than a complaint. It seems like other people have the same issue. I have a Linksys router configured with hidden SSID and encryption. My newly purchased iTouch can't re-connect to it after I cycled the wifi settings (or cycle the power). I have about a dozen other wifi enabled devices, some as old as 5 years, that have no problem reconnecting to the hidden network. I find it unbelieveable that this fancy new OS can't support something as common as hidden SSIDs. Now I have no choice but to broadcast the SSID which is not something that I wanted to do. I hope Apple will fix this eventually.

I think I may have figured out part of the rhyme, but the reason is still bewildering. Nobody is stating the router they are using. I figured out a clue to this. I was using the D-Link DIR-825 router with iPhone os 3.1.2 and had no trouble at all with my hidden SSID. Two weeks ago I purchased the Linksys WRT610N, and the iPhone will no longer automatically connect to the router unless I enable broadcast SSID. So why did the iPhone connect to D-Link and not Linksys automatically? There's got to be a difference in the way these companies are treating hidden SSID. The iPhone and iPod Touch will recognize one and not the other. Now it makes a little more sense as to why some people are ok and others not.
What's more peculiar is that my laptop and wireless bridge both work fine with the hidden SSID from both routers. It's only the iPhone that is being finicky.
