Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

I have an old PowerPC and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same router, but the old Mac connects with full bars, but the MBP struggles with only 2. Pls help, thanks!

Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed. (Rather, I should say
it 'connects', then immediately disconnects.) When I had regular DSL, there was no problem, but since UVerse installation,
I can connect ONLY with the ethernet cable.
Thinking it was my 'old' computer, I took it to the local computer place---they were able to connect instantly (wirelessly) AND maintain connection. Sooo...I've told this to ATT, & had 2 different techs out here, both of whom were very patient & tried EVERYTHING they could think of, & both of whom failed to fix the problem. They maintain that it is NOT the fault of the modem/router, but is some 'miscommunication' between my laptop & the modem/router.
Is that possible? Is there a setting I need to change on the laptop? If it worked BEFORE UVerse, and if it STILL works at the Computer store, and if it works WITH the cable, why won't it connect wirelessly?
Thank you SO much for any thoughts!

It is possible. While it's not common, sometimes you could have a working router and a working wireless card in a laptop, but they just don't communicate. It sounds like that might be the problem unfortunately.

Connected to network but unable to connect to the internet wirelessly

I recently installed a new hard drive in my dell inspirion e1405 laptop and I can no longer connect to the internet wirelessly using the WRT54G v2. When I use ethernet it works. It says I am connected to the network. I punched in the WEP key and I am connected. I power cycled my cable modem, laptop and router several times. I followed these linksys suggestions:
Checking the IP Address of the PC
Checking the Wireless Settings on a Linksys Router
Disabling Computer's Firewall
Disabling Proxy Settings
Pinging the Router
Pinging the Internet
and it still isn't working. I downloaded the firmware and that did not work. I am using XP MCE 2005. I updated the driver for my dell wireless card several times and also deleted it from the device manager and rebooted. Still nothing.
Anyone have an idea?

Well, hope this might help
make sure you only get IP from the router's DHCP. yes, you must set Obtain IP Address for all network adapter on your notebook (wired and wireless). the basic is, all things will be fine if this IP issue is not around. coz, at behind, they do something more than give / got IP, such as creating routing path automatically. that which will be guaranteed the success of ethernet communication for wired and wireless.
i cannot guess your problem, but you might want to do this.
first, as above said, just Obtain IP Address, make it for both adapter on your notebook
second, wireless security, must talk in same way (SSID, Channel, b/a/g/n) and use same key (WEP or WPA, passphrase/secret key).
third, if anyhow you got connected but still can't go through internet, but, you can ping or access your router, for example, open your router web server to do some change of the configuration, means your packet is stuck on the router and cannot deliver further to internet and it is gateway issue. no else.
well, three shots shall go but you might need more bullets coz this is called troubleshoot
let's see how it will go.
wish you luck

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly. the wireless light has a fast green blinking light. how can I fix the router?

I have a Linksys WRV200 wireless router and the wireless signal is not working properly so I am unable to connect to the internet wirelessly. The wireless light is blinking green very quickly and I connect and disconnect from the network constantly. How do I get the router to work properly

Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks
Vijay

It won't let me connect to the internet wirelessly!

I am having a problem connecting to my router/modem wirelessly.

I tried disabling WEP and enabling it as well but I still can't connect wirelessly. I tried rebooting my router/modem and my computer but it still won't help me. I checked everywhere in my sever to find errors but nothing came up. I can connect to the internet in my PC but any other wireless devices cannot connect to the internet wirelessly.

Does your PC use a wireless utility software or Windows Services? Do you get any messages? Does your PC wireless pick up any networks at all?

HT201299 Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   When I try to use Safari.
Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

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

Iphone 5 wont connect to the internet even with full 3G signal

Basically I bought a brand new iphone 5 and I'm already having problems with it. I have transferred my old number over from my old sim card as I used to be on 02 and have transfered to T- Mobile so I gave them my PAC code and it's all in process and they said it would be done but the 1st October which is fine but in the mean time i still want to use my phone and all the benefits that come with it but i at the moment I cant even connect to the internet. I have full signal so full 3g everywhere I go but I still can't connect to the internet. I have already rung up T-mobile and got them to sort it out for me and they patched me through to Apple who said they could sort it out for me by turning my phone off and on again but still I had no internet. Even now, the next day it still isn't working so I really don't know what to do. Has anyone got any suggestion on this? Do you think it's the phone company or could it be the phone?
Cheers

Have EXACTLY the same issue thePOPEofDOPE420, tried the setting> general> reset> reset network setting suggestion - but this does nothing. Still the issue persists.
WiFi - internet works great. As soon as it's off, status bars showing a full signal, 3G but the web page/Facebook app/App Store just hangs and won't load.
Not sure who to contact - T-Mobile or Apple?

Can't connect to the internet wirelessly

I bought a Wireless-G ver.6 router and installed it onto my computer via the set-up CD just this morning. But the wireless connection to the internet won't work. After i connect the router and the modem, then i have to connect the router to the laptop using a network cable or my internet connection won't work. I've had no previous experience with any wireless routers before so i'm kinda new to this wireless router thing. I have a really big assignment due tomorrow that i need to complete using the internet, so please help asap. Thanks.

I found a network connection to linksys and now my wireless connection works...

What's the best way to connect to the internet wirelessly?

I have DSL (ethernet modem) and a Netgear Router(WGR614 v5). I have tried to connect to the internet. But No luck...Thanks!
Please let me know if I should connect through Airport or other?

yes, the airport card should be enabled in the network settings in network preferences. have you tried contacting netgear to verify what settings you need?? also, you may need a firmware update for your router. another thing to do if your settings are correct, but still not working, then simply power cycle the modem and the router. you could also reset router and modem, make a new location in the network settings, and then put in your settings again. make sure you keep your setting information written down. another thing you could try is pulling the /library/preferences/system configuration folder to the desktop. this wipes out the network settings completely. then create a new location and put in the settings. if this gets it working, then throw the folder in the trash. if not, then put it back in the original place and replace the copy with the older version.

My laptop won't connect to the Internet wirelessly or LAN.

I'm running Windows 8. After running an optimization, I can't connect to the Internet. Other devices working fine so it isn't the modem. I have uninstalled the virus software to check firewall issues. Please help!

Hi ccrodeffer,
Welcome to Sony Community!
That's sad to hear. Are you getting an error message? Do you see any "x" sign on the wifi/internet signal? What has change other than running the optimization?
Can you provide us the exact model name and the current operating system of your unit so we can check the specifications and provide an accurate solutions. Thanks!

My laptop can't connect to the internet, even with 5 bars.

My laptop can't connect the internet through my WRT54G router. It detects it, it has 5 green bars, and I'm right next to the router but it doesn't want to go on the internet. All my wires are plugged in. I just don't know what to do...Please help.

Connect your Laptop hard wired to the router and check if you have Internet...If you don't have Internet, it means your router is not configured and you need to configure the router...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
If you have Internet Access on your Laptop when it is hard wired, then click start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties.
Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
It will connect...
If the above fails click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network
Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless network connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select Obtain IP Address Automatically...See if you have Internet Access...
If all the above fails, then, click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and post the results...

Cannot connect to the internet wirelessly

I just put a new HD in my Satellite L35-S2161. I did not use the Toshiba Restore disk, instead I used my XP Pro/ SP3 disk. I have two problems.
First I cannot get my wireless to work. I have installed the Atheros PCI Driver and the Atheros Client Utiliy. I also installed ConfigFree.
The wireless card is not showing up in hardware manager, so I'm missing something else.
I put the original harddrive back in and everything works, so it must be a driver software issue.
Also the Power Saver Utility is not working. The only thing I can find is that I need the Toshiba Common Modules. OK where can I find it.
Can you help?

Thank you for your response. I have been to the Toshiba support site and I find no Common Modules download for my Satellite L35-S2161 with XP. There is a Common Modules for Windows 7.
I just opened my Toshiba Restore Disk and I don't see a Common Modules in any of the folders. All of the Toshiba stuff is in a folder named COMPS1. There is a folder called Toshiba Utilities. Could this be the needed files? Here is what it says on the notepad in that folder
"This package is for the Toshiba Utilities. It includes Hardware Setup and Power Save features, which can help you to customize your computer's hardware settings. "
Again I thank you for any help that you can provide.
