It won't let me connect to the internet wirelessly!
I am having a problem connecting to my router/modem wirelessly.
Actiontec
Model Number:MI424WR
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?

Can I get Linux and Firefox on CD! My XP won't let me connect to the internet.
My desktop operating system is XP. The latest upgrade has made it impossible to get on the internet. The Geek Squad guy says tha I need to upgrade my memory and go to
Windows 8. The combination would cost me $200 with not quarantees that it would work.
Downloads are impossible so I need to have the appropriate browser software on CD.
Our laptops are fine because they are newer and make this communication possible.As you seem to want to replace broken Windows XP with a Linux distro, please allow me to suggest [[http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc]] that could help you select the right one according to your needs.
Most if not all distros allow you to download CD images that you can use.
You can do all this on one of the laptops that have connectivity.
Hope this helps, if not please get back with any further questions you might have. -
My iphone4 won't let me connect to the internet.
it says there is no active cellular data network. my friend has the same phone and hers works just fine.
Check Settings>General>Network, make sure Cellular Data is set to On. Also confirm that you have a good signal from your carrier. If still having problems, try turn putting your phone in Airplane mode for 30 seconds, then turn Airplane Mode off again. If still having problems, try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings (note: this wil erase passwords for previously joined networks). If none of this works call you carrier to be sure your data plan is properly provisioned.

My ipod 5g says it is 1969 and will not let me connect to the internet
When I charged my ipod touch 5g and it turned on it said it's 1969 and won't let me connect to the internet. I've restarted my ipod, I've tried resetting all settings including network and I tried connecting it to itunes but it won't connect to itunes due to an unknown error. How do I get my ipod to connect to the wifi and reset to the correct date and time?
Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -

So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,(it takes forever to backup my iPad AND my iPod) so what can I do ?
If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck -

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.
-ktAre 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).

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 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

I have an old PowerPC running 10.4.11 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 wireless router. The old Mac connects with full bars but the MBP struggles with only 2 bars. Pls help, thanks!
BDAqua,
Thanks for the response.
Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine. System Profiler has the following information:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
Serial Number: XBxxxxxMK9
Sales Order Number:
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.

Apple ID won't let me connect to the iTunes Store
When i try signing in with my Apple ID to the iTunes Store, the iTunes Store becomes temporarily unavailable. My old Apple ID works but my new one wont allow me to sign in. Any Suggestions?
Hello, TonyanAsia.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Picking up wireless signal, but it's not letting me connect to the internet
I live in a college dorm, and I pick up an airport signal from someone else, and last night the internet was down all around. This morning however, it came back up and I have a full airport signal, but I can't connect to the internet through it. Additionally, it keeps scrolling, 'looking for PPPoE host', and I keep getting a little pop up window from internet connect asking me for some password (I'm not entirely sure what password). I was messing around with the settings on my computer last night making sure that it wasn't my computer, and I may have done something but I'm not sure what. Does anyone have any idea what I might have done and how to fix it? I would go to the help desk here but they said they can't see me until Thursday, so any suggestions anyone has would be helpful.
Hello dancerhelen2006. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This morning however, it came back up and I have a full airport signal, but I can't connect to the internet through it. Additionally, it keeps scrolling, 'looking for PPPoE host', and I keep getting a little pop up window from internet connect asking me for some password (I'm not entirely sure what password).
This typically would indicate that your computer is trying to use PPPoE (username/password) to access the Internet service. If the Internet provider does not require PPPoE, then this would not be necessary.
Let's double-check your AirPort settings ...
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
o Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
o Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
o Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
o By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
o Configure Proxies: Manually
o Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
o Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
o Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
o Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)
