Airport: No Internet Connection.

Hi,
The system in concern is a 1st generation MacBook running Snow Leopard.
This afternoon, whilst surfing the web, my internet failed. I did the routine thing of turning off the router and turning it back on again, but again, I got no response.
So I thought it might be the internet provider, however, my sister's MacBook, my iPod Touch, my PS3 and my parents' computer can all connect to the internet.
Any ideas?

When you say 're-connect' do you mean turning airport off and turning on again and then connect back to my wifi or do you mean reinstall snow leopard?
I have turned airport off and on again, but the error still occurs.

Derek-
Since I could not find an answer on the support site. I contacted Apple Support. Once I explained the symptoms the tech seemed to know exactly how to address my issue. I will explain what happened in hopes that it will assist you. It seems that the issue has to do with the type of wireless network security set up in the Airport Extreme that conflicted with the Vista notebook's wireless adapter.
The tech had me launch Airport Utility, log into the Airport and Click on the Wireless. First he had me change the Radio Channel Selection from Automatic to Manual and changed the 2.4 GHz channel to 9 (from default 11) and the 5 Ghz channel to 157. The wireless security was set to WPA/WPA2 and he had me change it to WEP (Transitional Security Network) and I entered a 13 character key.
This resolved the internet connection issue with the Vista laptop immediately, but now I cannot print to my wireless Lexmark printer. I have a support email to Lexmark. It seems that the Lexmark driver/software only lists WPA in the install dialog and does not include WEP. My guess is that this is the source of the problem.
I hope this helps.

Airport loses internet connection more often now. Have to reboot. Its about 3-4 years old now. Is there something I can do?

Airport loses internet connection more often now. Have to reboot. Its about 3-4 years old now. Is there something I can do?

If your problem is due to interference, you might be able to improve things by changing the channel. An AirPort base station that old is probably an 802.11b/g model, which suggests that the best choices for channel are 1, 6, and 11.

Airport and internet connection

Can anyone help me with this? My internet connection has been a problem off and on for years but now, its unbearable. I have a wireless setup. For years I used my airport extreme base station to hook up to the internet. I would lose the connection and have to reboot the base station to get the internet signal back. Finally, I used my airport express as the base station and the problem disappeared for awhile but eventually, I had the same problem. My internet provider is Time Warner. I exchanged the modem and the cable. It was fine for awhile but here I am again! I just bought a new router, Belkin N Wireless Router and things seemed to be looking up but no! The signal is strong in one room but as I move to my living room which isn't that far (I live in a NYC apt) the signal fades out! This is maddening! Anyone got any suggestions on what is going on? HELP!

there are a lot of things that can affect a wireless signal. are there a lot of wifi's in your building? if so, they might be using the same wireless channel, which will cause interference, which you will see as the fading out.
there could also be something in the walls that is interfering with your wifi.
right after you reboot your wifi, is the signal good through out your apartment? if so, that would suggest to me that you're getting some kind of interference. do a google search for 'wifi locator's' for your operating system and find one that will list what channel each wifi is on. look through the list to see what everyone is using, and then pick one that is not in use by the others. the best channels to use are 1, 6 or 11.
you will also have to go into your router and do some advanced configuration, but the manual and their tech support should be able to help you with it.

Sharing airport express internet connection with router and wired network

Dear,
I want to set up the following network, but can't succeed.
Components:
2 Powermacs quad G5's (airport and two ethernet ports)
2 Powerbooks G4 (airport and 1 ethernet port)
1 broadband wired router (1 Wan and 4 Lan ports)
1 airport express
1 cable internet connection.
1 LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 300 GB
The internet connection is at the other site of the office (little architecture office). It is not possible to get the internetconnection directly to the desk wth the computer. 1 Powermac G5 is set up to share his internet connection. (Share via airport with ethernet 1). The ethernet 1 port is connected to the Wan port of the wired router. The other Powermac G5's ethernet 1 port is connected to Lan 1 of the router. The LaCie Ethernet Disk mini 300 GB is connected to the the Lan 2 of the router.
All the conputers get their IP adresses bij DHCP. The router is set to distribute IP adresses. Without the router and the LaCie everything works fine. There is internet connection on every computer and filesharing in between them is possible.
I like to be able to do the following.
Use airport connection on the two powerbooks, for internet and access to the network. Use the wired connection between the powermacs and the lacie for filesharing. On the second powermac use internetconnection through the router. With this configuration is it possible to copy files fast between the powermacs and the lacie harddisk.
At the moment I'm trying to get internet connection on the second powermac. The ethernet port gives me a proper IP-adress and tells me that I can connect to the internet, but it won't let me go on the internet and when I turn the airport back on, safari buggs. Without the ethernet cable connected I can go on the internet without anny problem, but off cours the fast filesharing isn't possible any more.
A drawing of the desired network can be downloaded at the folowing website

Is there a possible sollution to this problem?
thank you verry much
Jeroen

Disable the DHCP server on your wired router. Since your Power Mac G5 Jeroen is sharing Internet, it is already providing DHCP.
Use airport connection on the two powerbooks, for internet and access to the network.
Sorry, but it is not possible for the PowerBooks to access the subnet created by the Power Mac G5 Jeroen.
Use the wired connection between the powermacs and the lacie for filesharing.
Shouldn't be a problem.
On the second powermac use internetconnection through the router.
On Power Mac G5 Jeroen, you will need to disable the firewall or open the ports through the firewall needed by Power Mac G5 Nico to access the Internet.
Is there a possible sollution to this problem?
What you have is incredibly complicated. A much simpler solution is to
Get a 2nd AirPort Express (AX).
Use WDS to wirelessly connect the 2 AXs.
Connect an Ethernet switch (or hub) to the Ethernet port on the 2nd AX.
Connect all of your Ethernet clients (2 Power Mac G5s and LaCie) to this switch (or hub).
In this configuration your PowerBooks will have wireless access and all of your Ethernet devices will get IP addresses from the AX connected to the Internet.

HT3546 Although I am connected to the internet via Airport the internet connection does not stay on and comes with a "time-out" message. The airport connection is still on however. I have recently bought an old Mac Book 1.1.

I have recently bought an old Mac Book after having purchased an iPhone and iPad.
The internet connection (via Airport) keeps timing out while the Airport connection is still on as confirmed by the Mac and shown on the task bar.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

Airport + WDS: Internet connection losses

Good morning all!
I have a WDS network with
- one Airport Express (Called "A") used to ditribute an Internet connection. This is the WDS main station.
- one Airport Express (Called "B") that extends the initial network AND that streams audio with Airtunes. It is a WDS remote station.
When I surf the net (via "A") during a song is streamed on "b", I loose my IP address, the audio stream is down, the Internet connection too, and I must ask a new IP address (via the "repair" button) to restart a new stream on "B".
Each time I click on a link the same problem repeats!
Could somebody tell me how I could solve this problem please?
Thank you so much and best regards,
Geoffrey

I am going under the pretense you have seen this set-up diagram.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454
Be sure to take special care to read this set-up thoroughly. As another point of interest sometimes Interference can cause a loss of or interuption in the signal. Sometimes a simple relocation of the main can do the trick, while at other times it may require you to find and eliminate this issue such as.

Airport Extreme & Internet Connectivity - Motorola SB6120/ Comcast Cable

I recently (June 14th, 2010) purchased an Airport Extreme.
I'm having troubles with intermittent drops of internet connectivity.
The router is connected wan side to a Motorola surfboard 6120, and from there to Comcast cable service. Wired LAN side, I have the router connected to another switch. I also use the wireless for my iPad.
When started, the router works just fine. But in ~ an hour it seems to drop the internet connection, or at least stops routing out to the net. There is no LED indication on the front panel that anything is wrong (on both the airport or the modem). And in the Airport Utility, it still lists my public IP etc etc... and there seems (to me) to be nothing enlightening in the stats and logs screen.
Once back on my old router (Linksys), there is no interruption in internet connectivity. So, I'm fairly confident this is the apple router misbehaving.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the discussion area, jbuffat!
+When started, the router works just fine. But in ~ an hour it seems to drop the internet connection, or at least stops routing out to the net.+
This is a classic symptom of some sort of wireless interference that is affecting the Apple router. It's not unusual at all for one manufacturer's router to work well and another have problems in a given location. I've had the exact reverse of your issue with the Apple router working great, but Linksys slowing down and losing connections.
The culprit is most likely a nearby cordless phone, either yours or even a neighbors. If you have cordless phones there, try turning them off for a few hours to see if the problems continue. If they don't, you have your answer.
A nearby wireless network at the neighbors could certainly be causing problems as well as a new security system nearby.
Without trying to be scientific about this, the easiest probable solution is to start changing the wireless channel on your AirPort Extreme to see if you can find some clear airspace. Keep experimenting until you find a good channel or run out of channels.

WRT54G - Cannot access internet but iMac airport says internet connection is fine... what's wrong?

I use a WRT54G wireless router connected to Mac. All of a sudden, I became unable to access certain websites on my iMac, such as Facebook and Apple homepages. But i can access Yahoo website. I tried resetting my linksys setup but it doesnt solve the problem. When i access my iphone via wifi at home, i am also unable to go into app store, facebook app, and emails with images won't load. I also cannot link my iphone to itunes on my iMac. What happens on my computer when I surf the internet is that the page just loads halfway and stop "responding". But my imac airport says that my internet connection is fine, however my access has become very "restricted". Can anyone tell me what's happening and how to resolve it?

To resolve difficulties accessing some websites when connected to a Linksys router you should check the following.
Checking the router’s security settings
Checking your computer’s security settings
Security on the web browser is set too high
Configuring the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on the router
Opening ports for secured sites

Airport and Internet Connectivity Unreliable

I just upgraded my Powerbook G4 to 10.4.3 from 10.3.x. One annoying feature I appear to have picked up is that when I awaken my Powerbook from Sleep mode, it does not automatically reconnect to the Airport network and to the internet. I have to go into the drop down and select my home network each time, and/or wait about 1-2 mins for it to reconnect.
What is this? What is the fix? Help appreciated. I have downloaded all the various Airport updates, but the problem persists.

Hi Vinay,
Well, if you didn't have problems with your network connection under 10.3.x (and you haven't changed any settings on your router) then we can focus on the OS. Have you attempted to repair permissions (via Disk Utility) yet? I know that everyone and their dog suggest this, but it actually does help, and I can say from personal experience that it was seriously needed after updating to 10.4.2 and 10.4.3. If, after repairing permissions (and you may have to do it multiple times followed with restarts) you still have problems you may just have to reinstall the os. I know this sounds drastic, but it took 3 times for me to get 10.4.3 to work well; It may take more than once to get things right. Hopefully, you have a bootable backup of your OS; I've found that doing an "erase and install" followed by tranferring your settings from the backup/other computer typically nets the best results. Good luck.

Turning on Internet Sharing via Airport disrupts internet connection!

I have a very strange problem.
My iMac G5 (10.4.10) is connected to broadband via an Ethernet cable. Everything works perfectly, Google Earth works, emails come through, internet downloads are perfect...
BUT!!
When I turn on my Internet Sharing to share my Ethernet connection via my Airport connection (to let my husband surf the net on his PC) all **** breaks loose on my Mac.
Google Earth does not function properly, all internet downloads (.dmg) come up with "codec overrun errors", all images sent via email downloaded through Entourage are corrupted, the list is endless. I have to turn off my Internet Sharing, turn off Airport, and then everything returns to normal again.
Why is this, and can someone help stop the fights my Husband and I are having when it comes to sharing the Broadband connection through my Mac - I don't want to because my Mac goes crazy!
Ta muchly!!!

Sorry but an Ethernet hub will NOT properly share the ISP connection. The ISP only gives you a single IP address. If you use a hub (or Ethernet switch), the first computer you turn on will win and get the only IP address. The other computer will not be able to connect.
To properly share the connection, you need to get a router. The router uses the single public IP address provided by your ISP and creates multiple local IP addresses for your computers.

When I connect imac to network via airport all devices on the network lose internet connectivity

Every device stays connected to the network but the internet stops working. Usually the network will continue to function normally for about five minutes when the imac connects, but then every device loses internet access via the network, NOT just the imac. As soon as I turn off the imac's airport they get internet connectivity back. A wired network connection to the imac seems to work OK.
The airport is configured as "Using DHCP"
Mac OS X 10.6.8
As far as I know, no changes have been made to the computer recently (but it is not my machine and the owner isn't here atm)
I found one other resource with the same problem here:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/internet-networking-wireless/183185-turning-my- macbook-airport-breaks-internet-connection-entire-network.html
but the solution didn't work. When I deleted the three files mentioned in the solution in that thread, my problem is not solved.
If you have any ideas or need more information I would love to hear from you.
Thanks guys.

Yes it is possible that the two machines are creating a Computer-to-Computer network and are not going through the Express.

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.

Cordless telephone interfering with internet connection

Each time an associate uses a cordless phone in my office, I lose my Airport Express internet connection. A friend suggested we change the channel of the phone. Unfortunately, the phone does not have this option. Anyone know of another fix I can try?

Hello seaport. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Try changing the channel on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) itself. By default, it's set to Automatic. Try 1, 6, or 11 to see which one works best.
If your Associate's cordless phone runs on the 2.4 GHz band, then it is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like KisMAC, MacStumbler, iStumbler, or IPNetMonitorX to determine both the channels other Wi-Fi networks are using in your area and for any additional areas of interference...and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them.

How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.
