Airport connected but no internet - why?

All of a sudden I can no longer wirelessly connect to the internet, although airport is connected and the signal is full. There doesn't seem to be any reason for this.
I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this!

Sounds like your not getting an IP address from your modem. I would start by powering your modem and router. Restart the modem and wait for it to connect to the internet. Then, restart the router.

  • Airport connects but no internet connection.

    I'm at university and have my iMac connected to the internet using the ethernet cable with internet sharing turned on so I can use my Macbook at the same time.
    It has worked fine up until yesterday when an exclamation mark kept appearing in on the AirPort icon on my Macbook. Today the exclamation mark has gone and it has a full signal, but when I try to visit a website it says "You are not connected to the internet.". The internet on my iMac is still working fine. Any ideas how to fix it?

    Try pinging your iMac, and then another computer on the school's network. Also try pinging an outside IP address (you can just make up a couple).

  • Airport connecting but no internet connection

    Hi there I've been searching the forums and I have seen that this is a common issue.
    My airport connects to my router with a strong signal, however when I go to use any of my three browsers, not a single one is capable of connecting to the internet. However Skype (on Mac) and Bootcamp connects and works fine. No settings on the Mac or router have been changed and no amount of router resets will correct this.
    Does anyone have a solution to this? It is getting tiresome to constantly change to windows to get internet access
    Thanks in advance
    Lindsey

    Open System Preferences->Network and find your connection named "Airport". In the right column hit the "Advanced" button in the bottom right hand corner. In the drop-down select "DNS" and put either OpenDNS.com (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220) or Google DNS (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) in the DNS settings and hit apply. See if one of those helps and you can tell this by opening /Applications/Utilities/NetWork Utility and see if you can ping apple or Google by the DNS (www) name with it. This way you can see if the it works.

  • Why won't AirPort Connect to the internet?

    The green indicator light is on, why won't AirPort connect to the internet? Here's my config http://localhostr.com/files/cfee4c/Problem.zip

    Hi Stress Test:
    Thanks very much for the reply. I've actually sorted out the problem since posting - just a few minutes ago. I reset the AirPort and reconfigured everything in manual mode with the ethernet cord from my computer connected to the AirPort. I then disconnected the ethernet cord, rebooted the modem and AirPort, did a bit more troubleshooting and suddenly I was connected to the Internet! Still not sure exactly what I did that fixed the problem, but everything is working ok now.
    Regards,
    John

  • HT1600 my apple television keeps stopping during the movie, i have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

    My apple tv  keeps stopping during the movie, I have a good internet connection but cant understand why?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • The wi-fi on my ipod touch is connected but the internett is not working! Help

    Soo annoying, it's connected but the internett is not working. I don't know what to type in or what to do, so I need help.

    Are you 100% positive you are connected?  Head to Settings - Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to?  What is listed for an IP address?  If it's in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your iPod did not properly receive a valid IP address via DHCP from your modem/router. So the 169.x.x.x address is a self-assigned one.
    This can usually be resolved by a reboot of your router.  You can do this by unplugging it for about 30 seconds.  After it powers back up, try reconnecting it.  It wouldn't hurt to try a reset of your iPod as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

    I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

    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

  • I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

    I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

    This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
    You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
    Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
    Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
    You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.
    Report back your findings.

  • Blackberry torch 9800 wifi connected but no internet

    hi i am using blackbery torch 9800.its giving error that wifi is connected but no internet connection.please help me

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support and to ensure that you are subscribed to a data plan from them that is adequate to use the services you desire (many services require a data plan, even if the method of access is only WiFi).
    Good luck!

  • Airport connected but can't get internet....PLEASE HELP!!!

    I am a college student who went to college and used an apple airport base station for my mbp and everything worked fine, and before i went to school i used my parents linksys wireless router and it all worked fine. i came home from college today and used the internet (over the linksys router) for about 5 minutes, then came back a few hours later. after i came back my computer said i was connected via airport to the linksys router but i cant load any page at all with any internet browser, also aim and msn messenger wont work. when i get on the internet i get this message "safari can’t open the page “http://www.yahoo.com/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message." i can connect if i plug my mbp in and i have tried the network diagnostics for airport several times, and it comes back saying that i am connected and it is all working fine, but its not. any help would be great. thanks.

    I have the same problem...New MacBook Pro connects fine to Airport at home. Shows connected to WPA network at work but no Internet connectivity - or it takes a VERY long time to pull anything up. Have run the Network Diagnostics successfully and Mac thinks it is connected, but still not able to reach web sites.
    Have followed instructions here: Article ID: 106799 Mac OS: Long Delay Before Web Pages Start to Load, Then Load Suddenly at Normal Speed without success. Can hardwire my MacBook Pro and use the network in this way.
    I am a network admin and I set-up the wireless so I am familiar with the details, but am truly baffled why my Mac will not connect to the Internet.

  • Can anyone explain why airport connects but no Net connection?

    greetings all, i have a small and what i hope is an easy problem to solve..
    my parents have wi-fi as well as my brother in his home, all i do on my macbook pro is turn airport on and it connects seemlessly..and i'm on google in 2 sec's...
    but WHEN i go to my brothers house.. airport finds the network and jumps on it instantly and i have full service strenght. but no matter what i can't connect to any web pages,, they time out and i get a msg stating that i'm not connected to the internet... i eve tried my email prgram and nothing..all other net app's fail too..
    how can this be if airport is finding the network? neither my parents nor brother have their network protected i.e. no WAP or WEP ect... so what is the deal?
    even tho i'm connected on airport its like i'm not.. my brother has linksy's router and his sony viao jumps on it wit no problem at all!
    anyone have any ideas or what i can do?
    oNe
    p.s. at my home which is an apartment there are several "open" networks and again the macbook finds them and jumps on them wit no problem... but i stick to my plug in net connection for security reasons...can't trust open networks.. sides my parents and brother i guess..
    macbook pro 17" pimp ish   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   it came stock..

    I wish that was the answer, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I have a Linksys wireless router in my office with no other users and no security provisions installed. Most days, I can bring my Laptop in and connect right away. Other days, like today, it simply will not connect, despite having a full four bars showing. If I go into Internet Connect, it confirms that I am connected to Linksys. However, when it fails to open any Internet page, I get the terrible message "You Are Not Connected to the Internet." I am then prompted to open "Network Diagnostics" to solve the problem, which it never does. Obviously, someone needs to introduce "Internet Connect" to "Network Diagnostics" since they clearly have never met.
    I have experienced this situation in other locations, so it clearly is not limited to the one router. While I am ordinarily a big Mac fan, this problem drives me stark raving mad. Being a simple person, I just cannot fathom how a computer can be connected to the Internet, but...not...connected...to...the...Internet. Since I don't own any firearms, shooting my computer is out of the question and I don't really want to hurl it into the ocean. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

  • Trying to connect airport extreme to comcast provided ubee modem. Light on airport green, but no internet access.

    Attempting to connect ubee d3.0 comcast modem to airport extreme base station.
    Light on airport will go green, but I cannot connect to the internet.
    I'm sure it has something to do with DHCP/NAT - as the airport extreme is getting an IP address, but then assiging a 10.x.x.x IP to my computer
    but attempts at putting it in bridge mode just causes the light to go yellow and give warning of "No DNS Server" and "No internet connection"
    I am able to connect to the internet when I connected directly to the modem.
    I'm running OS 10.8.5
    previously had DSL modem and connected after a few easy tweaks of the NAT settings before. am unsure what the issue is on this on... have used up my rather limited tech knowledge.
    any thoughts?
    Thank you!

    Attempting to connect ubee d3.0 comcast modem to airport extreme base station.
    Light on airport will go green, but I cannot connect to the internet.
    Ubee provides both cable modems and gateway devices. What is the model number of yours?
    I'm sure it has something to do with DHCP/NAT - as the airport extreme is getting an IP address, but then assiging a 10.x.x.x IP to my computer
    By default, the AirPort Extreme would performing as a router with both NAT & DHCP enabled. Also, it would act as a DHCP server for the local network and provide out Private IP addresses in the range of 10.0.1.2 - 10.1.1.200. The WAN-side IP address of the Extreme should be a Public one and provided to you by your ISP via the Ubee modem. Did you perform a "factory default" reset on the Extreme before attempting to connect it to the modem?
