Airport says connected, but browser can't load any page

Hi all mac geniuses, I just got a wireless modem/router from my DSL provider, and after I selected it and entered the password on the Airport menu, Airport says I am connected. However, the web browser can't load a page like it doesn't have internet connection. Is there something I missed during the setup?

No, Three feet away from the wireless. When i connect to the cat6 cable, I have no problem with the high-speed of the router.
It's only trying to disconnect and go wireless that I have a "fake connection" if you will
The 404.2 is the number I got from system profiler
the whole firmware info is: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
as they say in Shakespeare: "For my part, it was Greek to me"
Remember this is an internal card on my laptop, so the numbers might be different...
I truly appreciate any help/wisdom anyone might have on this matter.
I'm probably going to call Netgear who make this new smokin router and see what's up

New macbook, airport says connected but browser not working

Hi,
Just got a new macbook.When I connect to the internet the airport says it's connected to the network, but my browser won't work like it isn't connected.I have connected a few times,so I know it does work, but now it won't work at all.
Don't know what to do!

Having an internal IP address is essential.
Go to System Preferences>Network and note the color of the "Dot" to the left of Airport. Red=No connection, Yellow=connected but no IP, and Green=working.
Double click on Airport and click on the TCP/IP tab. Check to see if you have an IP address. Click Renew DHCP lease. Apply now if it is available. Open Safari and see if it works.
Let me know what happens.

When i put firefox in offline mode, and then click on pages saved in history , it can't load any pages or any images. i put cach size to 250mb but the problem is the same, it saves history for two months, but can't load pages.

Hi there,
When I inspect your site in browser tools, I'm getting 404 errors from your page:
[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) (jquery-2.0.3.min.map, line 0)

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
Thanks,

I Just bought a ipad 2 and I can conect to my home wifi but I cant connect to any free hotspots. my ipad shows the network and connection but I can't get any web pages.

I Just bought a IPAD2 and I can connect to my home wifi but I can't connect to any free hotspots. My Ipad shows the connections but I can't get any web pages. what do I do?

Many free wi-fi hotspots require that you register first - agreeing to their terms and conditions, etc. This is usually provided via a web page with Safari provided immediately after connecting. If the register page is provided via Flash, you won't see it and you won't be able to register.

AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

I'm stumped.
I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
Any other suggestions?

John,
Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
Thank you again,
Christine

Recently safari can't load any page properly?

when i start up safari it loads google as my home page fine, but when i try to direct it to another site like youtube or twitter or anything at all it can't load the page properly, and instead loads the sites with a plain white background and all the links are in a norma blue font in a list type format on the page. does anyone know why this has happened?

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History / Remove all website data / Clear the Downloads list
Click Reset. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

BTFON connects but I can't open any web pages

I'm away from the address where my home hub is so I've been trying to use BTFON. I can connect fine but I can't open the landing page or any other web pages due to DNS errors.
I've checked that my DNS settings are set to automatic and it seem to be picking up the correct servers (192.168.22.22 and 192.168.22.23). I also get an IP address starting with 10. I've tried clearing my browsing history and disabling my firewall/anti virus software but still haven't succeeded.
Anyone got any experience of this sort of issue?

My airport is connected, but I can't get onto the internet?

My PC can browse, just my mac keeps saying can't find DNS address. I called my service provider too, they re-configured the network for me, everything else works, just my mac still can't get online. The airport bar is full, I'm getting good signal. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Nope, but the same thing's happening here!

Says "Connected," But I Can't Connect.

Today I purchased an Airport Express base station. I followed all the directions, plugged it into my working cable internet and then the wall, followed the directions in the setup assistant, fine and dandy. My iBook displays my airport status in the menu bar, and it says I have an excellent connection.
However, I can't access iChat or any websites. It's as though I'm not connected to the internet at all.
My Express's light is flashing amber. In the manual it states that this means I don't have an internet connection. It's connected directly to my Comcast Cable modem, the same plug which, when I plug it into my iBook's ethernet port, works fine.
I've gone through every troubleshooting thing I can think of. In my network settings it will alternate between saying I'm connected to the wireless router but not the internet, and saying I'm connected to the wireless router AND the internet. All the while, it's still flashing amber...no green light.
HELP...did I just waste $130?
Airport Express & iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi danacordelia717:
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Under the "Internet" tab, is it configured to "Connect using ethernet" and "Configure tcp/ip" using "DHCP".
Lastly, powerdown everything then start it up in this order:
Cable modem (Wait a min or two), airport (wait a minute or two) then your mac.
Lastly, did you set up your AE to "Create a wireless network, and is "Distribute IP address checked under the "Network" tab.

HP Pavilion 23 all in one pc: Internet says it's connected, but it won't load any webpages

My desktop isn't in the same room as the modem, but I'll see about moving it to check the cable. Thank you for looking into it.

Opus123 Saw where you posted a reply with no response. Must have missed that but yes it has been a while since we attempted to fix your issue. I can suggest some other methods. The first one would be to reset all your browser settings to see if that helps. If you are receiving emails then we can assume that the connection to the internet is fine. I know Ihave an issue where my phone knocks me off the wireless hub in my house so I need to turn off the WIFI on my phone if I am doing any work. I don't know why this is the case but it seems to be fixed if I do that. Then I reset the router and I am back in business. you could try to go hard wired versus wirelsss if that's an issue. Could be a driver thing. As a last resort you could do a factory reset of your system by reinstalling the OS and basically starting with a clean system. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES BEFORE DOING THIS SO YOU DO NOT LOSE ANY OF YOUR FILES. Try those and get back to me. I'll be wating and watching to see if any of those options work for you. Happy New year

If your Airport is connected but you can't surf, check your DNS Servers

I just had 2 customers who upgraded their OS's to 10.6 and it stuck 2 DNS servers in their network settings, 65.106.1.196 and 65.106.7.196. Delete them and if your computer is set to DHCP, it'll acquire the correct DNS servers from your modem or router. You can find them in "Advanced".

Finally got it fix and setup!
How I did it:
1) Turn on AEBS, press and hold on reset button for 5 sec.
2) Turn off AEBS after its initialization. (only center light permanently ON)
3) Turn on iMac.
4) Remote all KeyChain files related to AirPort. AEBS is still off.
4) Update AirPort software to v4.2
5) Update AirPort Extreme card dirver to v1.0 (update 2005-001)
6) Restart iMac and login then Turn on AEBS.
7) Pop-up shows "Apple Network as980510" is found, click OK.
8) Run AirPort Setup Assistant from Application/Utilities
9) Update AEBS firmware to v5.7
10) After AEBS restart successfully, fine its configuration accordingly.
11) Set dial-up ISP parameters and click Update
12) At iMac System Preferences>Network click 'AirPort' then 'Configure'
13) At 'AirPort' tab, change 'By default join' to 'Preferred Networks' and choose the one defined at step 8.
14) At 'Proxies' tab, checked 'Web Proxy (http)', 'FTP Proxy' and key in ISP's proxies according.
15) Launch Safari and start surfing.
Because I have missed out step 12-14, that causes me hours of troubleshooting and late night sleep. Finally.... it works and I'm confident it's solved. Hope it will help some of you out there! Cheers!

Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
Do I need to take this back?
Has anyone had a similar problem?

How old is your MBP?
Do you have APP?
Does this happen all the time? Does it happen on a specific site? What internet connection do you have?

Browser can't load certain pages

I experience this problem with Safari, Firefox and Netscape. Certain pages -- ESPN is a good example -- load halfway and then stop, and all I get is the spinning rainbow ball. I always have to force quit. This started a few weeks ago. I assume it's a plug-in of some kind, but reinstalling Firefox didn't seem to help. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello there,
Do you have a style sheet [ CSS ] you are using in Safari-> Advanced Tab? if yes set it to none, and see if that helps.
Whilst in Advanced tab check your network settings & make sure you've no proxies checked on.
In " View " Check your Text encoding try using Unicode.
Have you tried a restart,if the puter that can help.
Have you run permission repair and see if DU reports any errors.
In Utilities Disk Utility, First Aid tab. do not bother with verify perm.
do run repair permissions. Stay on the left side of the Disk Utility
< [ not repair disk ] if you know already, sorry.
Good Luck, I hope something helps..
