Airport shows I am connected to a secure network, but Safari will not connect nor will any other internet software.

I cannot connect via Safari to a live Internet connection.  System preferences show Airport is on and connected to a secure network.  I am able to connect using my iPad and other devices.

Thanks. Turns out that I had to re list the router and update its password along with resetting the DHCP.  Once that was accomplished all seemed to work fine again.  Just can't figure out why the connection was disrupted.

  • Connected to network but Safari says not connected

    Just had to reinstall OS X and upgraded to 10.4.11
    I connect to my FIOS network using Airport, and am having no problems. However, when I attempt to open Safari it says I am not connected to the Internet.
    I run diagnostics and the following happens:
    it lets me get all the way to selecting an airport network, then does a scan--says it's looking for PPPoE host, unable to find. Tells me to check network settings.
    I have tried restarting the Actiontec router with no results. what gives?

    I think my son's apt bldg uses FIOS and as I recall he is also PPoE, so PPoE may not be as uncommon as we think, for FIOS.
    You should have gotten a letter from your ISP that said what your username and password for your account with the ISP is, to setup for PPoE, whether you are static or DHCP external WAN IP address assignment, etc. Do you still have that letter?
    You're not connecting to your computer via ethernet cable directly to your ActionTec right now, correct? You're going wirelessly? If that's the case, can you reconfigure your hardware to connect to your ActionTec via ethernet cable? (Don't forget to change your computer's system prefs network stuff from airport to ethernet DHCP.) And if so, I know you've done so gazillions of times already but if you haven't done so (lately?) while tethered via ethernet cable, try rebooting your router and your computer one more time. I'm trying to figure out whether its a wireless thing, e.g., maybe the wireless isn't turned on in the ActionTec or has MAC authentication enabled and your computer's Airport card's MAC address isn't on the list, or the wireless channel encryption password or algortithm is mismatched, or... So, if we can get in via ethernet cable, we can start rummaging around in your computer's network settings and in your ActionTec's configuration pages.
    By the way, how are you posting on this forum? Different computer same network? Or different computer different network?

  • PCI wireless card connected to network but safari says not connected to net

    Hi everyone
    I moved my computer and had to change from wired ethernet to wifi. I installed a ralink PCI card in my MDD G4 dual 867. It sees the network and connects but Safari doesn't know it is on a network. What am I missing? I also have to connect manually every bootup. How do I setup autostart? My wireless router is a D-link DIR-615. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi David,
    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply
    DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
    These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • Wi fi showsonnected but safari says not connected to internet

    wi fi shows connected but safari says not connected to internet.

    I forgot to mention that, but I have done that as well. 
    An update:  my husband took the iPad to McDonald's to see if he could connect there, and got the same message (Safari could not open the page because it is not connected to the Internet).  I'm stumped!

  • Cannot connect to the secure network but can to the guest network

    I have three computers in my home, all Apple. One is an iMac with 10.5 installed, another is a powerbook g4 17" with 10.5 installed and the third is an old titanium powerbook g4 15" with 10.4 installed. All of them have the newest versions of software.
    I just bought a new time capsule and that has the newest firmware upgrade installed. I set the time capsule up with a secure WPA Personal network and a guest network with no password. I can connect to the secure network on the iMac and the 17" powerbook but the titanium powerbook cannot even see the secure network or connect to it if I enter it and put in the correct password. However the titanium powerbook can see and connect to the guest network.
    Please help, I need to be able to print from the titanium powerbook to an ethernet printer connected to the time capsule.
    I've tried adding a wireless client with no password in airport utility thinking I could connect the titanium powerbook that way and that does not work either.

    Actually I have figured it out. I guess the titanium powerbooks cannot do WPA encryption, only WEP but I cannot choose WEP in the airport utility nor do I want to. I did find a work around though.
    In airport utility I went to the base station menu and clicked on "equivalent network password" and it shows the WPA password and then something called "WPA Pre-Shared Key". The key is a 64 character password but I tried it on the titanium powerbook and it worked!

  • 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

  • IPad is connected to Airport, but Safari says not connected to Internet?

    I'm hoping someone can suggest something for me.  We had a power outage last night, and when the power came back and I got the Airport working again our iPad won't connect to the internet.  I don't think the problem would be in the Airport, since the computer is connected wirelessly also and is connecting OK.  I have tried renewing the lease, turning the wi-fi off and back on, forgetting the network and reestablishing the connection, and restarting the iPad, all to no avail.  The IP address listed when I look at the iPad settings starts with 169 - from what I've read that means it's not connecting correctly.  Is there anything else I can try to get it working?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I forgot to mention that, but I have done that as well.

  • Can connect to protected wireless network, but no speed or connectivity?

    I saw other people had this issue as well, but I want to make sure my issue isn't a different subject (sometimes I get lost in the technical jargon). Anyway, since I updated my MBP I have been able to connect to my wireless network (password protected) fine, and it shows I have great signal strength; however, when I attempt to use the internet, only the first pages loads really, after that pages are extremely slow to load (30 seconds, etc), time out, or simple can't connect. I don't know what to do. I can connect to the other open wireless networks. I know it is not the router or my wireless card. Any suggestions?

    Check you have specified Primary and Secondary DNS servers in System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS ?

  • Macbook pro establish its own network, but phone does not connect

       I bought my macbook pro retina 15.4 inch this month online in Singapore.
    When my thunderbolt connects my macbook to Internet, I want to establish a wireless network so that my phone can access Internet wirelessly.
    The problem is 2 out 3 times, the wireless network is working fine and my phone can access Internet. But, for the rest of times, my phone cannot connect to wireless sent by my macbook.
    The phone will show the name of my network and the strength is the strongest. And it will connect, connecting, back to scanning then connecting back to scanning again. It will just fall in that loop and never connect to Internet.
    My phone model is motorola xt910, but I do not think the problem is related to the phone because Ipad, iphone of my friends' also experience similar problem when the wireless is abnormal.
    I use school lan cable, but it should not be a problem also because it work fine sometimes but not so sometimes.
    Can someone help me out?  Is it the hardware problem??
    Thanks.

  • HT201263 I have completed these steps several times, and my iphone still says connect to itunes to activate, I just want to get past the activation screen.. and it will not do it. Any other options?

       I cannot get past the connect to itunes to activate screen, i can't even get to the home page with apps and stuff. I bought the iphone used, and was hoping to set it up with prepaid, but I can't get it to activate. I connect it to itunes, and it downloads the new software, and still will not go past the activation screen.

    It sounds like you bought a jailbroken phone (assuming you didn't jailbreak it yourself). Take it back for a refund.

  • Im connected to my home-wifi but it's not connected to internet?

    I updated my both iPhones and ipad2 a few weeks ago to the newest version of ios 5.01,  but yesterday My iPad lost the connection to internet, but i'm connected to My home WIFI, i have checked all of my other units, such as computer, both iPhones, my smart tv, and they all work fine.

    Each IP address on your local network must be unique.
    You might be able to enter static information but if DHCP is being used then you must use IP addresses that do not conflict with the IP addresses being used for DHCP.
    I think that you need to find out why DHCP has stopped working on your router/modem.

  • My iPod touch 3g will not charge nor will it connect to the computer.

    It won't charge at all. I have no idea how it's still on but for now it is even though it's been saying the battery is less the 20%. It's not the usb adapter/cable, I've tried many. My laptop nor desktop will even acknowledge it at all. I've done resets numerous times and still nothing. I don't know if this means the battery needs to be replaced or not because like I said the iPod is still on after days of not being able to charge.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I forgot to mention the iPod will play on my dock but not charge. I took it in today and it's no longer under warranty so they only offered to take it and give me 10% off a new one.
    Thanks anyway!
