Airport connected, full signal but no internet

Okay. I've been looking all over for the answer and it doesnt seem like anyone has had the same problem. My Airport Extreme (the dome kind) just stopped working. When I run diagnostics it tells me that there is no Ethernet cable hooked up to it when actually there is. I've restarted my modem. Waited 24 hours. Called the cable company to have them reset my IP. Reset the AE. Everything.
Maybe this will tell you something. The 3 white lights that let you know what is going on well... the middle one is permanently on and the outside left and outside right flash at the exact same time.
Please help I am at a complete dead end.

Did you do a "hard" reset per instructions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451 ?
Have you uploaded new firmware? Tried different cable? Inspected port in question to make sure the "pins" inside are not crunched/crossed?

Airport reads full signal, but can not connect to internet

Hi everyone,
I have a new powerbook that I'm trying to connect to a home network which is set up with a cable modem and a wireless linksys router. The airport reads that it has full signal from the "linksys" wireless network, however I can not get on the internet through the signal. When I connect the computer directly through the the ethernet port, it works fine. I've taken the computer to another location with the same cable modem and wireless linksys router setup, and it worked fine through the wireless. I've actually had this problem quite a few times with various wireless networks (it connects directly, but not through the full signal that reads on the airport), and I was wondering if there are some setting that need to be changed or checked for certain wireless networks. Any help would be great. Thanks,
Sofi

I'm sorry I think this makes thing harder, but I have no idea. It's actually a friend's network so I can't check at the moment. I know there is no password to the network and that they have two pcs running fine wirelessly. Is there a way I can check these settings and see what's going on?

Airport connected to modem but no internet.

So I have the Airport connected to my cable modem but the Airport just blinks orange the whole time and the activity light isn't moving at all on the modem and I can't get online.
I've tried unplugging the modem and Airport then like 15 minutes later I plug the modem in then 15 minutes later I plug the Airport in, but it doesn't seem to be working, any thoughts?

Alright, so I called Apple and fixed it, so for anyone else with this problem here's what I had to do.
I unplugged everything from the Airport and the Airport itself from the wall, held down the grey reset button on the bottom of it, while holding it down plugged it back into the wall and held the button till the light flashed green 3 times then went to orange and went back and opened Airport Utility and had to put in all my information again, holding down the button put it back to it's default settings.

Airport connected to network but no internet

I FIGURED IT OUT ON MY OWN THANX ANYWAY

Airport Connects to Router, but not Internet

Due to the problems I'm having with my powerbridge ethernet connection as detailed in the link below, I am trying to establish a wireless connection instead.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2715590&tstart=0
I have set-up an additional access point router in the same room as the iMac, and can get a good connection to it from the Mac; however I am unable to connect to the internet although the other 15 devices on the wireless connection work fine.
Do I need to start from a new location in Network Preferences, or can I simply turn Airport on and ride along the ethernet configuration?
Any support would be appreciated.

I sorted this myself, the router was taking the TCP/IP from the wrong place. Clicking on 'DHCP Renew' fixed it.

MacBook WIFI issue. States full signal but won't connect!

Hey all,
I'm at the end of my tether here! I brought my MacBook back in Feb and loved it, was so pleased with it. A couple of months later the screen broke, so it was taken back to Comet who sent it away and repaired it, turns out the screen was faulty and there was also a "defective logic board". Got it back after 3 weeks and all was fine, until now!
When i purchased the MacBook i needed to buy a new router so i got an N router which has always worked perfectly, over the last week or 2 i found the connection kept dropping out, this happened before and it was VirginMedias problem which they fixed. I checked with them and there's no fault, checked the router and there's no fault and no settings changed, i then decided to try a neighbours WIFI, again, the MacBook connected and stated full signal but when i opened Safari it says i wasn't connected. The problem got worse and worse and i'm now at the point where i cannot connect to any network through WIFI at all, the only way i can get internet is if i use my Vodafone WIFI Dongle...which isn't the cheapest or easiest way of connecting to the net! I also have an iPhone 4 and a iPod Touch and they both still connect to the WIFI without any problems.
If anyone can help i would appreciate it so much! If i take the MacBook back to Comet they'll only want to send it away again and i'm not happy to do that, 1) Because i'll be without it for at least 3 weeks and i need it for work and 2) Since i got it back from the last repair i've discovered it wasn't put back together very well and the screws have been falling out of the base ever since.

Since you cannot connect, even at at another location, I'd agree that it seems to be a hardware problem, rather than ISP or software settings.
If purchased new or refurb direct from Apple, your MacBook came with a 1-year warranty, so you should be well within the initial warranty period.
If you're not happy with the service you're getting from Comet, escalate! Ask for the manager, and keep going up the chain until you get some satisfaction.
Finally, if Comet can't meet your needs, try another Apple authorized repair center or an Apple Store.

TS1398 I am connected to my wi-fi and have full signal but im not connecting online, help please

Connected to Talk Talk wi-fi with full signal but not connecting to internet, then my connection to wi-fi goes and I try to connect again which it does but still can't load to internet, help please

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

Connected to Wifi but no internet

I have a recurring problem that I've been unable to find an answer for. My computer will be connected to the wifi with full signal, but it will be unable to connect to any websites. Symptoms and attempted fixes:
It has an IP address, but all ping requests timeout.
The only "solution" is to turn the wifi off and then back on. This works, but usually only temporarily. The connection usually goes out again after several minutes.
There are no problems when the computer is connect to the router using ethernet.
Only macbook pro's seem to have the issue on the network, other connected devices do not.
It has occurred on other routers as well.
I found vague answers about it being an internal firewall issue, and deleting some random plists. No luck. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few minutes.
Connect the router back to to the wall.
Power the router back on. Wait until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

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?

Airport network connected on full bars but "no internet connection" and missing lock icon!

this is really frustrating!
I'm using wireless in my house. when i click on my network it connects and it shows perfect connection which is full bars.
on Network Preferences it says that i'm connected to the Airport but when i go to Safari it shows "You are not connected to the Internet" so i click on Network Diagnostic where the 3 network status on top has the green indicator but the ISP, Internet and Server show red and failed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my internet connection since I'm able to go online using my sister's computer and also on my iPhone.
There's also usually a Lock icon/symbol next to my network's name but when i'm connected to my network the Lock icon seems to be missing but it still shows full bars connection. I really don't get how it's possible to be connected to a network, but no internet connection, while i can access the internet on other devices.
Please help me out here. I've tried ways like going to library>preferences then put the system configuration into Trash, and going to Network Preferences and removing the Airport service and creating a new one.
and one more thing. all mentioned above are when i clicked on Advanced on network preferences then i clicked on TCP/IP and changed the Configure IPv4 from Using DHCP to Manually. When i'm back to using DHCP there's an exclamation point over the airport icon on the top bar and it says no internet connection.

Got my own question answered by a colleague.
He had me create another "Location" in the network pane of System Preferences, then choose it and click Apply. I created a new location which I called 'Airport', chose it and clicked Apply and sure enough, an IP address showed up and all is well.
Justin said it's a network bug in Leopard.

Good Signal, but not Internet with built-in Airport card

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate question, but I couldn't seem to find a similar situation. I'm trying to get my wireless (or any) Internet working at my house with my Powerbook G4 with a built-in Airport card. We have a Linksys 802.11g router with no security enabled. My mac is picking up a very strong signal, but everytime I go to Safari, iTunes, or Explorer it says there's no internet connection present (yet internet connect and my network says I'm connected through Airport).
I've had my wireless and ethernet working on this computer before -- picking up a variety of signals, including other linksys routers. All of the PCs in the house are working fine with this, and my mac even shows up on our router list.
The most recent experience I had with internet on my mac was earlier this week--i took it into my work to do some testing and we had to set up a specific location to get it to work through that ethernet network. When I took it home, I removed all of those configurations and tried both my wireless and ethernet, and I can not get either working. At this point, I've removed all of my configurations and tried reconfiguring. Everything but my airport is turned off. No proxies are selected. I've turned off the iPv6. I'm using DHCP (which is showing the correct router and IP address). I've deleted the System Configuration folder from Preferences. And it's on the top of the list in network and have selected Airport as the default. And none of this seems to be working. Oh, and I tested to see if it was a DNS problem (which I head read in one discussion forum), and that didn't fix it. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing. But I can't for the life of me get it to work.
Does anyone have any thoughts? suggestions? insights? help?
Please? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out what this could be.
Thanks so much in advance.
meg.

Joel,
I am having the same exact problem and have had it for months now.

Airport is connected to router but no internet

I have seen many forums and posts on this and nothing seems to help so i will explain my own situation and see if it helps. I am using white macbook, purchased from the apple store in september '07. I am running os x 10.6.8. The router i am using is a D Link DIR 615. The line of connection is as follows: cable from wall to modem, modem to router, and devices connect to router via wireless.Here is my dillema. Airport connects to the router, full bars, i get internet conection for about 2 minutes, then i get nothing. Airport is indicating that I am still connected to the router, and I have an IP (not the 167 or self assigned, it says im good to go). For me to get back on the internet i have to turn off the airport, turn it back on and reconnect to the router. I have tried to renew DHCP lease, i can when connection is good but after the 2 minutes i can't. I tried taking the network off my keychain to where i would have to type in the password each time, that didn't do it. I changed the password on the router, as well as other settings, that didn't do it. The reason this puzzles me and make me believe that it is my own airport is because multiple machines in our household work fine on the router, including a macbook pro form either 09 or '10, an iPhone 3G S, and an android smart phone. other people have come over and used our wireless with no problem. My computer is the only one that does this. And the shame of it is, I am a graphic designer and I use my computer the most in the houshold, and I need the internet connection the most. if anyone has any idea, and I am completely open to giving more information if you need it. I understand it could be extremely technical and it is already beyond my reach.

Hi Kelly Chant-
Any chance that the little AirPort antenna in the back has become dislodged? Try powering down everything on the network including routers and/or switches, wait 10 minutes, turn it all back on and see what happens.

Nokia N8 Wi FI Connected With full signal but no i...

Hello
I am having some issues with my wi fi at home. I just bought the phone a few days ago and it worked fine for about a day. I can connect to my router with no issues but it wont connect to the internet. Its saying it has full signal from my router and that its connected but i'm unable to connect to anything internet related. My Xbox works fine with the router and so does my G/fs Htc Desire so its not problem with my modem or router. Ive deleted data and restored a couple times as well as disabled the power saving mode in Wi fi settings. It is hooked up using a WEP key with mixed 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b. I've changed the wireless channel 1- 11. Hoping to get some feedback so i dont have to send it away.
Much Appreciated
Matt

Turn from 802.11n to 802.11b/g. Use a WPA/WPA2 shared key.

I have wireless signal, but no internet Connection

I have a wireless router, and an iBook G4, and so does my husband. I get wireless signal and internet, however my husband's ibook only get wireless signal and not internet. He has always had problems with the internet signal on his wireless. Please help!!
Thanks

I would start by reseating the Airport card. Here is directions on how to access the Airport card. The airport card has to be seated correctly to get a good signal and reliable connection. Make sure the connection is pushed in completely.
Here is another link to install the Airport card. Look at how far they have the connector and compare it to yours. That might help.
