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 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.

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?

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?

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.

Airport Express signal fine but no internet connection

We have been using an Airport Express for wireless Internet access and recently are unable to connect to the Internet. We use a Comcast cable modem, through a Linksys router, to the Airport Express. We can connect by network cable to the router and access the Internet, but are unable to connect wirelessly. We are getting a signal from the Airport Express (the light is green), but no Internet connectivity. We have restarted and done a hard reset (holding the reset button while plugging the Airport Express in) of the Airport Express, but it did not seem to help. The hard reset did not result in resetting the settings, so perhaps there is another way to reset it or perhaps there is another problem.
Has anyone had similar problems?

I tried power cycling the cable modem, downloading new firmware (why didn't Software Update tell me about this?), deleting the DNS servers, hard reset of AirPort Express, factory reset of AirPort Express, fiddling with AirPort Admin Utility, fiddling with AirPort Setup, all of the above in different order and different combinations, and it still would not work.
Power cycling the cable modem was one of the first things I did, and that resulted in getting Internet connection through the cable modem onto the ethernet cable; just no Internet through AirPort. Finally, after a factory reset of the AirPort Express did not help, I decided to power cycle the cable modem again, even though I had already just confirmed again that I was getting the Internet through the ethernet cable. Once the cable modem finished the power cycle, it finally worked! I was back on the Internet via AirPort!
I'm not exactly sure which solution fixed it for me, but I suspect that it didn't work at first because I did not power cycle the cable modem afterwards. In other words, if after changing AirPort settings you still are not connected to the Internet, try power cycling the cable modem. Do this every time for each change you make to the AirPort settings.
The other thing I learned is that unplugging the cable modem from the wall power outlet or turning off the power strip will NOT power cycle the cable modem properly. Instead, you must remove the power cord from the cable modem. I tried all three of these methods and for whatever reason, the only time it worked was by removing the power cord.

Airport Express ITunes working, but no internet connectivity...

I have two Airport Expresses. Left one at work. The one I left at work was the main one, the other was piggy backing on the first one.
So, without the main one, I held down the button to reset the piggy backing Airport, to reset it as a stand alone. Did that without any problem, plugged it into the speakers and to the internet, and the speakers/ITunes part works, but I can't get to the internet on the Airport.
Plugging the ethernet cable directly into my computer works. But when I plug the cable into the Airport, I can get on that Airport and play music on the speakers/Itunes, but no internet. Sorry, I'm being redundant.
Help says goto Internet Connect to see if Airport has internet connectivity, and that checks out fine. Yet, still can't connect.
Oh, and my Airport light is blinking yellow. Airport Admin Utility doesn't seem to have anything particular to say about that. Hmmmm.
Anyone know what I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance.

oops. this isn't airport for windows.
i'm going to repost under the correct heading.
sorry.

Airport Extreme - green light, but no internet

I've been using my airport extreme for 2 years, connected to an Alcatel-Lucent modem.
A couple of months ago I bought 2 airport express devices and cabled them to the extreme in bridge mode, working just fine.
After a 2-week trip I returned home and I found that all the devices showed a green light in the Airport Utility, but the internet was orange.
I could connect myself to the network, play music in my airplay sound system, but couldn't surf the web or use my apple tv.
Now internet is changing from green to orange every 5 minutes.
I tried everything that I have read in different forums, but with bad results.
Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much.

I tried working on my computer with a wired connection from the modem itself and it works perfectly.
If you mean that you have the computer connected directly to the modem and things work OK, then leave things "as is" for at least a few hours.....longer would be better....and report on your results at that time.
Then, we will do the next check.

Connected to network but not internet :(

I posted in the airport forum but to no avail, hopefuly some of you guys can help, here's my original post:
I'm in a holiday lodge, which has a wireless network. I'm friends with the owner so I can fiddle with the modem/router, however as I type this i'm on a friends dell laptop, connected wireless with no problems.
It's a BT ADSL network, not sure exactly what type of wireless modem but I assume the problem to do with some sort of settings or something.
At home I can "borrow" the neighbour's internet just fine.
This BT network I am trying to get into uses a WEP password which I know and have successfuly used.
I select the network, stick the password in and it connects to the network, showing full signal strength but It doesn't allow me to connect to the internet, doesnt allow me to get on any websites...nada
help please, I'm only here for a week but I need to check my emails atleast once.
Thankyou for any help in advance."

Connects to wifi but no internet

Hi! This problem just recently started for seemingly no apparent reason. My MacBook Pro will connect to my wifi network, but then it won't connect to the internet. The wifi symbol will have an exclamation point in it and my router symbol turns from blue to blinking yellow (Belkin router). I'll try turning off wifi and turning it back on again and it searches but then goes back to the exclamation point. I'll do this 6 or 7 times and then sometimes it'll start working again. When the problem happens there is a green light next to wifi and then red lights next to everything else. So it's connecting to the network and then experiencing a problem. I've tried restarting both the modem and router which yield promising results as first but after a couple hours the problem returns.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Emily, the exact same thing happened to me on the same date. Also a MacBookPro (2009), can connect to my wireless network at home but no internet, although the router seems to be fine (because my older laptop connects to it) AND my airport must be ok because I'm on the wireless network at work right now with no problem. Could it be a virus we've both got? My wife was using my laptop for Facebook when it suddenly stopped working, and she certainly didn't change any router settings or network preferences. Perhaps a malicious link on Facebook? --Lloyd
edit: actually there's one difference in our situations: in my case the MBP does show an IP address when I can get onto the wifi network but not the internet. And I'm still on 10.5.8.

WRT54G can connect to router but not internet

A few days ago, I stopped being able to connect to the internet through my router. I have a desktop which is connected to my cable modem. My desktop connection works fine, but I cannot connect wirelessly with my laptop. Even if I connect a wired connection to my router, it will not connect to the internet. I have tried updating firmware and that did not help. When I try to diagnose the problem through windows, it tells me that "There may be a problem with the DNS". Also, when I look at the status tab in the router site, it shows that the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are all 0.0.0.0. Any ideas?

hey guys you have your connections the wrong way...
here's what your connection should be the cable modem should always be connected to the router, that means that the desktop (which is online) should not be connected to the modem...because, the your modem might only give out one ip address that means only ONE device behind the modem can go online, now either the router or the desktop gets the internet connection.so if your desktop is the one getting the ip address from the modem, so make sure that the modem is connected to the ROUTER ONLY...
after connecting the modem to the router, connect the computer at the back of the router, so all the devices should be connected behind the router. in that way the router could get the internet connection from the modem and the router could give multiple ip addresses on all of the devices or computers that you're gonna connect to the router...
then if ever the router still doesn't give internet connection try resetting the router and try to reconfigure it as well....

WRTG54S Connect to network but not internet

I have a WRTG54S and Mediacom 12mbps. My router worked fine on my old laptop (a Dell running Vista) It sat in a box for about 6 months and now that I have a new one (Sony running 7) I can connect to my network but not the internet. I have upgraded the firmware from 7.6 to 7.8 with no change. I have tried no security, wep, and wap with no change. I also cloned the MAC, again no change. Windows cannot detect any problems and when I try to enable the router to connect to the internet it always says connection failed. I can connect when directly wired to the modem but not when wired to the router or wirelessly. Any ideas? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wire your computer directly to your modem, open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all". Post the full output. That will show what kind of modem you have and what the best configuration for your WRT should be.

Connected to network, but no internet connection

Just returned from a one week trip to CA with my macBook. Prior to the trip everything regarding a connection to the internet worked fine... I have an Airport Extreme network set up at home. For the first five days of my trip, everything worked fine as well. Connected to several different open networks (offered by hotels and Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs). Then suddenly I could not get an internet connection with any browser (Safari, Firefox, Flock). At one particular B&B it worked flawlessly one evening, then the next morning at the same B&B, no internet. Yet I was connected OK to the open network. Moved on to another city, a different hotel and network, same problem. I was connected to the network, but no internet connection. In Safari, the blue bar would get as far as the http:, then it would hang there. Now having returned home to my Airport Extreme network, everything seems to be working fine again in all browsers. Any idea what I may have encountered for those two days? I have another trip planned in the near future, and would hate to have this happen again.

I'm sorry but I'm not posting to answer your problem but just to say that I have a very similar issue when connected to my home network through either wireless or ethernet- connection is erratic and pages hang despite showing an excellent signal strength. I have a divided drive and have windows installed on my Macbook. I have no problems on the windows side. My friends who have ipods and iphones have similar problems connecting to my home network. I have no problems connecting wirelessly to any other network that I've tried. This is a real shame as I want to use Mac software but end up in Windows all the time. Any light anyone can shed on this would be very welcome.
