Able to connect to wifi but not internet.
I am able to connect to the wifi at work with my 3GS but I can't connect to the internet. There are SOME at work who are having the same problem (not all). My phone was able to browse yesterday and I've made no changes. I've tried resetting the Network settings and nothing. Password hasn't changed since yesterday.
Stephen: The problem might be similar in your referred post, but it is not the same.
I have a (more) similar problem, being that I CAN connect to my Airport Express (AE) via wifi, at least that is what the menubar and the "network settings" indicate, however while the phone indicates that I'm connected none of the phone's applications can access internet.
The app "Remote" can't find my MacBook Pro either. And that is most surely connected because I'm writing this post on the MBP connected to internet via the very same AE.
However, when I take my iPhone and MBP to my parents place (they don't have apple gear, but an old "Level One" Wi-Fi router), both internet and "Remote" works perfect.
I had no such problems before upgrading my 3GS to iOS4. Anyone?

I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet
I have a iMac, Mac OS X v10.7.5, and recently had a problem connecting to internet. I can connect via wifi, but when I try connecting via ethernet it's not working. When I go to the preferences > network, it shows "green" / connected for ethernet but when I open up Safari or Firefox, it doesn't show a connection to the internet.

10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

My iPhone connects to wifi just fine. When it does it connects to the internet just fine except in one location. My house. My MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone and her iPad get on the internet there just fine. My Iphone's IP address it begins with a 10. At my house it occasionally will connect to the internet through wifi but I leave wifi off there because it is so intermitent.
Any suggestions?
I have not seen this problem addressed.Can you ping a website using either Network Utility or Terminal?

Wii U connects to WiFi but not Internet
hello on July 30th 2015 my Nintendo Wii U stopped being able to log on to Amazon's App and the Nintendo e store or get an Internet connection of any kind. It does connect to the Wi-Fi network and continues to each and every time I try to make a connection and put in the password. However when it runs its test it shows that it connects to the modem but not to the Internet. all other devices cell phones laptops excetra have no trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi and the Internet through the Wi-Fi connection.
Hi ,
I am sorry about the issues you are having connecting your Wii, but I will be glad to help. If you have not done so already, try rebooting your U-verse gateway by unplugging the power and plugging it back.
If still not working, another thing that other Wii users reported was setting up the connection again, but on a different connection slot. Users made the same settings with connection 3, and it came right up.
Hope this helps.

Ipad 2 can connect to WiFi but not internet ?
Brand new IPad 2 user: I am setting up unit right out of box. Can connect with my Verizon FIOS Wifi with IPad and have strong signal.
Cannot now connect to the internet via Safari. Have tried several of the solutions offered in Apple manuals such as cleaning out network settings and starting over, but to no avail.
I have also gone to the Verozon support website for clues.

I can connect to WiFi but not the internet
I am trying to connect a new IPad 2. I have a Belkin router that is B+G+N. I use WPA2 encryption and MAC filtering. The IPAD's MAC address was entered into the router and when I provide the encryption key as the password I am able to connect to WiFi but not anything Internet related except for email. When I type any URL in Safari it takes me to my router's management page. In fact I can log into my router and manage it from my IPad but I can't connect to anything else. I have 8 other computers/devices that connect to the router fine including two Apple Ipod touch's. This has me baffled.

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

If any of the above solutions work, please post back what solved your problem. It will help others with the same problem.

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet
My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hello Bmowat,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are able to successfully connect to your Wifi network, but cannot get internet access.
I found this article for you named Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
This section in particular since you have Mountain Lion installed:
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.
It is a built in troubleshooting tool to help diagnose and repair network issues and should help you resolve this issue.
All the very best,

I have an iPhone 4 and am in Nepal. My phone was previously able to connect to wifi, but now is unable. I have an iPad and that is able to connect just fine. This problem is with every wifi hotspot I have tried so it is the phone not the modem.
Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Im connected to wifi but the internet wont work?
im connected to wifi but the internet wont work how do i make it work
Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network? A commercial network?

At first my Apple TV was stuck so I unplugged it and re plugged it so everything disappeared all my apps everything then when I tried hooking up to my Internet it said connected to wifi but cannot connect to the Internet so I'm not sure what that means or how to fix it
GH
When you say everything disappeared do you still have Computers and Settings icons? Try rebooting the router and apple tv with all cables out for 30 seconds. Does it work eathernet connected if you can try that too?

My iPod 5th gen connects to wifi but the internet doesn't work.
So we were watching netflix on the ps4 and something happened and now my ipod will connect to the wifi but the internet doesn't work. everything else connects just fine to the internet just not my ipod. I've renew my lease, reset my settings and network, forgot my network and rejoined, turn my ipod completely off and back on, turned my wifi off then back open. The IP address is 192.xxx.x.xx
its the ipod 5th generation 16gb. With the latest updateDoes the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
