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.

Cannot find PPoE host, can connect to router but not internet

I've been having trouble since I tried using the router. At first, I had no security, then I set up the security and couldn't connect to the router. That finally solved, sometimes when trying to connect to the router, I get the message cannot find PPoE host. But, my connection continues to show that it is strong in the bar at the top.
So, I try to get on the internet -- Safari, Firefox -- no go.
I run network diagnostics and the first three settings are lit, but the ISP, Internet and Server all show as failed.
I'm connecting via airport and a linksys router.
Thanks for any help

You'll have to go into your router's settings and make sure they're correct. When you connect to the internet through a router, the router has to be set up with the appropriate IP information (like setting it for PPPoE). If you have set your router up properly, then all you have to do is connect your Mac to it, either wirelessly or over ethernet, and it should auto-configure if you have your Network settings on "DHCP" (not the manual DHCP, though). You will get an IP address assigned by your router if it worked.
Hope that helps. Networking is always confusing.

Connected to router but no internet

I'm having similar problems with my router not connecting to the internet. I went to set up a passowrd on the my WRT54G. I actually clicked SES and pretty sure i pressed reset security. Does this reset the router to factory default? Or the security settings to factory default?
I didn't save after realising that I had done wasn't going to change my password.
Now I can't access the internet. I have tried everything, resetting, restarting, waiting, banging my head aqgainst the wall.
I have another router, an E1000. This will not connect either. internet works fine when hardwired to the modem.
I work on a MAcBook Pro 10X.
Any advice would be great.
Regards
Himi

The SES doesn't reset the router to factory defaults. It configures the router's wireless security but it will only work automatically if you have a Linksys adapter with a utility (like your Mac's airport) that is compatible with SES as well. Are you using DSL or Cable? Please click on the link below that is appropriate for your internet connection type for instructions. Set-up the internet via wire first, then go wireless.

Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one. found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
but I can't go online! I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card. my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be? I already tried rebooting the router, but no results. I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
any suggestions? thank you so much in advance

It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration. When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
From a command window, try typing:
ipconfig
It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
If you don't get a valid IP and route, try running: ipconfig /renew
See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
ping 192.168.0.1
If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
Start->Control Panel
Double click Network Connections
Check for DHCP:
   Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
   Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
   Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
   Click OK in both boxes.
Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

Airport will connect to network but not internet

Hi,
My MacBook air started out working beautifully on my wireless network-high download speeds, solid connection, etc... After about six hours of operation however, it has stopped being able to find the internet consistently, no matter what wireless network I try. I use a NetGear wireless hub in my room, and my laptop is able to consistently find and connect to the network (the hub is only about 3 feet away) but it cannot connect to the internet. Under network settings I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" or "Airport cannot connect to the internet." I know that the internet is working, because the network works fine for my MB Pro, iPhone, TiVo, and xBox 360. In fact, the MBA is occassionally able to find the internet and get an IP address. Sometimes this IP address allows me to load web pages extremely slow and sometimes I cannot even find google. The problem extends beyond my one network, however, as I have difficulty connecting to other wireless networks. I am on a college campus and sometimes can connect to the campus WiFi, but it again frequently connects without being able to figure out an IP address. Some help would be great.

I have a similar issue. Mine does the same thing, but only if in a specific area. If I'm sitting on my recliner with the Air on my lap, then it will connect, but I can't get to any sites. The browser just stalls.
If I move to the table that's 3 feet away from me, then the internet connects without any problems.
It could be a reception issue with me, or something. I don't know. At first it connected at very high speeds. That was before 10.5.2.
I don't know if the Leopard Update has anything to do with it, since my iMac doesn't have this problem at all. And that has an N card also.
I hope Apple is looking into this wireless issues.

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....

Connect to router but not internet

I recently got a WRT54G Wireless router and easily configured it to run on my Mac but when I try to set it up for my PC it will ping the router but nothing on the internet. Can anyone help me figure out how to setup the corrrect connection on a Xindows XP. My service provider gave me no password or login name to get on the internet.

I've got the same problem. The Linksys Wireless Monitor says that it's connected to the access point, but the internet can not be found. It sometimes indicates that it's connected to the internet for a moment or two, then loses it. We have 3 computers and this problem is only happening with one of them. The computer in question just started having this problem. It previously worked fine.
Despite indicating that it's connected to the access point, I can not connect to the router's admin interface.
I tried safe mode with networking, but still wasn't able to connect.
Any more ideas?
Thanks in advance.

A1 connected to router but no internet

I've just had a virgin media superhub installed. My ideapad A1 shows as being connected to the router but I am not getting any internet. Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Thanks

Hello sassyv and welcome to community,
I have check the setting in K1 model, you may try in your device.
1. Turn on the Wireless, and then go to “Setting” --> "Wireless & networks” --> "Wi-Fi settings”
2. In “Wi-Fi settings” dialogue box, you will find your wireless network. Click your preferred wireless network.
3. Type your wireless security key (if needed) and then scroll up to change others setting. Set “DCHP” to “Static” in “IP settings” box and then force your IP address accordingly to your network setting. After finishing above settings, press “Connect” button.
4. You should be able to surf Internet now.

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.

On Windows Xp machines, can connect to router but not internet

Yesterday, I bought an Airport Extreme to replace my current router. I setup my network successfully and my macbook can connect fine. However, I have 2 Microsoft XP machines that can connect to the router (it sees it and connects), but I can't access the internet from these machines. For my network, I had to use a bridge mode. Any suggestions?

Solution:
1.Connect to internet via LAN
2.Open browser to be sure you are connecting to the internet via LAN.
3.Open up Airport utility from the PC
4.Be sure you still have a wireless connection to the base station
5.Open Airport Set up system while still connected to the internet via LAN.
6.Run through system set up with the same settings, or different just as long as the base station reboots while you are connected to internet via LAN.
7.After base station reboots, disconnect LAN cord, or disable LAN connection.
8.After LAN is disconnected, try opening up a browser via your wireless connection.
9.For me I was reconnected to internet via my wireless connection.

Can connect to router, but not internet

I just recently have been unable to connect to the internet. I have tried everything, reset network settings, reboot ipad, router, and computer. I show the wifi locations and when I select them I show the bars, but when I go to the internet I get an error message. My Iphone is doing the same thing.

Yes, my Windows computers connect with no problem. All my Apple products are having issues; either very slow connection or timing out. I haven't tried them at other locations, but will when I get a chance.
Actually, Ralph's question was to tclowers who started this thread. Perhaps to avoid confusion you should start a new discussion specifically for your problem.

Help - Can Connect to Router but not Internet

I just upgraded to a new hard drive. After reinstalling Windows XP, I tried to connect to my router (WRT54GS) which is working fine, but can't connect to the internet. This is a second laptop (first still connected to internet just fine). I've tried connecting directly to the router via ethernet cable and wirelessly, but can't connect to the internet either way. I'm looking for any advice on how to resolve! Thanks!!

Connect the computer to the router .... access web interface of the router ....
Look for MAC address clone sub-tab .... under setup tab .... click enable & clone ..... click save settings ....
Go to status tab ..... look for internet ip address ....
Do power cycle ....
Check if you are online or not .....

Will connect to router but not internet!!!

If there is anything I absolutely detest about Apple, it's the fact that their wifi *****. I have never had problems with my PowerPC iMac, but my two intels, a macbook and my newest, a macbook pro, have ALWAYS had connection problems. One of the problems I have had with my macbook is that, when using DHCP to connect, the computer will without warning reassign completely different values for all three fields. However when i do it properly manually, it still doesn't connect to the internet. What I do to remedy this is I manually assign the proper values and quickly switch it to DHCP and then hit renew DHCP lease and wait til the right values come up on screen. Now, with my MBP, I can't even do that to make it work and my 3 year old macbook can get on just fine. I've tried everything in the book. I've even tried calling the "Geniuses" at the Apple store. They couldn't give me an answer.

sorry i said s*cks and they bleeped me out. not much of a cuss word if you ask me. Anyway, I finally figured out the problem. While the DHCP wouldn't work, I noticed my macbook has the DNS address already established. So I put it in manual and I added the DNS address and it works now. power cycling the router didn't work though so I guess its just a failure to communicate between the router and my mbp. Did I mention my router is a Netgear? I need to buy a Linksys; works so much better.

Airport Issues, Connects to BS But Not Internet

Hello, I hope someone can help me out here. I have tried several ways to fix this but still haven't had any luck. My issue is my Powerbook is having issues connecting to the internet through the base station. I can connect to other networks in my building and elsewhere with no issues. I get full strength on our connection and can connect to the base station but I cannot connect to the internet though our base station. Our BS firware is 5.7 my comp os is 10.4.7.
The thing that gets me is my roommate can connect fine with his MacBook Pro. I have tried everything from reseting, hard resetting, changed the settings, reset the PMU, etc.
Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions redlight24fps,
I assume you mean BS is referring to Airport Express Base Station? if so you should up date your Airport Express Firmware.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75422
Also make sure you have the latest Airport Software.

Connected to router but no internet (fibre optics)

Hi, so I have recently switched to fibre optics and I have decided to reuse my Linksys E4200 that was previously used with a cable network. However, After installing the router using the disk provided I was unable to connect to the internet even though my computer was able to connect with the router. What can I do to solve this prob. I have tried restarting the modem to the factory settings and the same problem recurs.
P.S. The modem was installed to another router provided by my service provider.

When you said that 'even though my computer was able to connect with the router' did you mean your computer is able to connect to the wireless network of the router? Since you switched to fibre optics, the router might need to be reconfigured for it to work with your fibre optics connection. Do a hard reset on the router first - push and hold the reset button on the router for 30seconds then power it off for 10-15 seconds. You can then reconfigure the router by either using the setup cd or doing it manually. If the setup cd won't work, you can go ahead and proceed with reconfiguring it manually. You may follow the steps provided on this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0ff4c94586a345d082828ec2161aaecf_3686.xml&pid=80&r.... With fibre optics connection, you may treat it as a cable connection.
