Aiport is connected but won't let me online

We decided yesterday to move some furniture and when we went to plug the internet stuff back in, it all of a sudden didn't work after working fine all morning. We were very careful so no, nothing was dropped or bumped or anything like that.
I can connect to the internet when I have my MackBook directly connected to the modem via ethernet but I can't wirelessly connect to the internet with my Airport. I can wirelessly print through my Airport and that's about it. It says that it's connected and when I run the diagnostic test through the Network System Preferences, it says I'm connected and everything is working. I even have an IP address.
I've reset and reset and reset. I've talked to Comcast 5 times. They say it's the Airport but I don't understand how if it was working fine earlier in the day and all we did was unplug it and plug it back in. We did just downgrade our internet (because Comcast is so expensive) and it might have taken them a few days to do the change, so could that be the problem? Does the AirPort have to have a certain speed internet to work? Comcast told us that might be the problem... so I'm trying to find out what speed we need for it to work and on top of that, if that could be the problem at all.

Hello SallieLou. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Just to be sure, let's double-check your AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBS) connection with the modem.
Modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port "circle-of-dots"] AEBS >>> (wireless) >>> wireless client(s)
Does this match your setup? If so, then I suggest that you perform a complete power recycle of your network components in the following order:
Power Down
o Computer(s)
o AEBS
o Modem
Power Up
o Modem; wait 15 minutes.
o AEBS; wait 10 minutes.
o Computer(s)

  • Airport Card finds network and says connected but won't let me on internet!

    My airport is on and finds a network, shows full strength of signal (like it's done for the past 8 months). But it has stopped letting me onto the internet. Safari and Mail hang and say they are not connected. If I go ahead and plug the ethernet cable in (from same network) it starts up fine. I live in a hotel and have done the same thing for 8 months, why today would it start doing this? Can anyone help. This is my first mac and I haven't the foggiest how to deal with this. I've turned airport off, restarted, turned it back on etc. It always finds a signal and says it's ready, but won't let me onto the internet. Thanks for any help you have.

    Is the internet service also password protected? (As in, do you need a password for both the wireless and for the internet connection?) If so, then when you run the "assist me" option you should set up a PPP connection. That's my situation but I still have problems with it remembering my settings after rebooting or disconnecting...

    As title suggest. i just bought the laptop and wont let me connect to the net.
    Disabled all the firewall settings. I'm lost.
    Got it connected throught network cable atm and using net

    Hi
    In your case I would check the router and WLan configuration again.
    I mean you could try to disable the encryption in WLan router and could try to connect to open wireless lan.
    You should update the WLan driver too:

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • My new iPhone 5 will connect to iTunes, but won't let me put music or pictures onto it...

    My new iPhone 5 shows up in iTunes, but won't let me put pictures or music onto my phone. They are both under the same iTunes account and it let me transfer stuff onto my old iPhone 4 before. I don't know why it won't let me now. Both are updated also... Please help!!

    Thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't think to check that. I synced it to iTunes, but I didn't think to see if those were checked or not and they weren't. I checked them, and resynced and its working perfectly. Thanks so much!!!

  • I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

    I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

    My iPad accepts my password but won't let me on I mess or FaceTime

    Texas Mac Man, we seem to have the same hardware and ios. Maybe you can help direct me to a solution for a similar problem. I tried everything as best i could on the relevant support page, but I'm still stumped.  
    Problem: when attempting to sign in to either Facetime or Messages, this alert appears: "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
    Device affected: iPad2
    Device NOT affected iPhone5C
    I have not tried turning off Airplane mode, out of fear that it might lock in on my mobile carrier and may charge me for data use from the iPad...  I upgraded to the iPhone plan and eliminated the iPad data only plaN, keeping it on airplane mode ever since.
    Details
    1. The problem started after downloading and installing the latest iOS 8.1 for iPad.
    2. I used this internet connection to download the iOS 8.1 update, and am now on Safari connected to the internet through this device to find out why Facetime won't work.
    3. The wifi settings allowed the previous iOS to send/receive iMessages...  And are sufficient to currently watch Netflix movies on this device...  Given that iDevices don't change network settings from common use, and my iPhone can send iMessages while in airplane mode and on wifi, the settings must be correct.
    4. I've successfully signed into my iTunes account on both my laptop and this device using the correct Apple email ID and password. I've successfully logged onto my Apple ID from the Apple website to confirm emails and IDs are verified, through Safari on this device.
    5. My Apple ID is my current valid/alternate email address. I've signed into iCloud on both laptop and iPad using this password. I've emailed myself to and from my Apple ID email using this device. I've also tried signing into Facetime using my alternate Apple ID.
    6. Time zone is correctly auto set to my nearest time zone town. When set manually, the problem is still present.
    7. Cellular data connection is not subscribed for this device. This device with previous iOS has been able to use Messages through this wifi connection as it is currently configured. Attempts from various wifi/coffee spots to sign in using Apple ID and all possible alternates do not resolve the problem.
    8. Even though this suggestion was not listed under this specific error message, I decided to try "waiting 24 hours" and the same error still results. It isn't clear if waiting means specifically not attempting to log in to iMessages.
    I'll try waiting more and see where that gets me.
    Thanks

    If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
    Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
    Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
    Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders.
