Airport Suddenly stopped working!

Hi there,
I am hoping someone will have had the same problem as me. I have been using Airport express with no problems for 7 months from my Netgear DSL ethernet modem.
Then suddenly last sunday it stopped working. I have full signal strength and it was assigned an IP of 10.0.1.2 but when i open safari it thinks about it for 5 mins then tells me im not connected. I have performed hard and soft reboots of both router and extreme and nothing has changed, i have even used another router (BT Voyager 210) and experience the same problem.
Its like im connected but not getting any TCP/IP traffic? Anything that anyone knows that can help would be very welcome indeed
Thanks in advance
Dave

Have you tried unplugging power for 10 seconds? I need to do this sometimes daily on one of our Airports.

  • Help! My airport has suddenly stopped working!

    I was mid browse and airport suddenly stopped working. I know it's not my wireless router as I can still connect with my wifi only iPad (typing this with it)
    I have tried everything. Rebooted several times. Ran fsck twice. Ran repair permissions. Cleaned caches etc.
    I can't even run network diagnostics because it won't accept the password even though I know it's right.
    Any help appreciated

    I now suspect a corrupt plist. Can anyone suggest which one(s) to try removing?
    Thanks in advance.

  • MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that.  Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

    is there anything else I can try first?
    thanks

    If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem.  You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
    Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites.  They have parts and installation instructions.  To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

  • Airport woes - suddenly stopped working

    I’m unfortunately currently having Airport issues, and was hoping to get some help. My wireless network has been running fine for a while, but yesterday evening it suddenly stopped working. I could see and join my network, but it wasn’t working. When I connected my computer directly to my modem via Ethernet, it worked fine. I rely on wireless a lot though, so I unplugged and plugged everything back in, but it didn’t solve anything. Eventually, I decided to reset my Airport Extreme and Express (used as WDS) base stations and start over. I set everything up (standard set up, Extreme with Express as WDS), and my connection started working again. After about half an hour though, my internet went down again (just like before, I could see my network, but it didn’t work)
    I tried unplugging everything again, but that didn’t help matters. I decided to try a reset again, but unfortunately this time around, that didn’t work either. When I check the network part in the system preferences, it says I am connected to the internet over Airport (green light shows), but I Safari loads for a few seconds and then tells me I’m not connected to the internet. I thought there may be something up with my DNS settings, but I checked them and everything is entered correctly. I reset everything a third time, thinking there might be something wrong with my Extreme base station (I even tried going back to default firmware but that didn’t help), and just used my Express station. Unfortunately, that didn’t work either (I get a green light on my Express base station, but it just won’t work). That is when I gave up. I tried again one final time this morning and am still getting nowhere.
    The odd thing is, I haven’t changed anything…I don’t know why it would suddenly stop working. I hadn’t changed any settings, or messed around with the firmware or anything. I’ve been on the latest Extreme/Express software updates since a couple of months ago and have had no issues whatsoever. When connected directly to my modem, my internet connection works fine – so I’m assuming it’s not an issue with my ISP (UK Online). Since I can’t get both my base stations to work, I’m also assuming there isn’t a physical issue with them. FYI, these base stations are the old ones, not the new 802.11n ones.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be up and/or any suggestions as to what I could try?
    Many thanks.
    P.S. I am on OSX Tiger, latest update.

    It's always a good idea to completely power cycle the entire network after any changes or updates to a network.
    If  you have not already done so.......
    Power off everything....all devices....order is not important
    Start the modem first and let it run for a minute or two by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Start the Airport Express the same way
    Start each computer and device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check the network for proper operation

  • My airport express suddenly stopped working.

    I have had an airport express unit that I purchased new from Apple about a year ago. The warranty is now expired and it has suddenly stopped working. It shined its amber light for more than an hour, and when I unplugged it to see if it would work somewhere else, it flashed its amber light and then went blank. It will now display no lights at all when it is plugged in, and my computer can not detect it, so it is obviously dead. Has anybody had any experience with this issue? I tried a hard reset (back when the amber light still worked, yesterday), but I do not know if it worked since the unit would not stay on for more than a few seconds (now not at all).
    Other specifications: It has been used pretty much non-stop since its purchase a year ago as an extender for my Time Capsule's network. It served its purpose, although it seemed to lose connection fairly often. Nothing it didn't fix on its own though.
    Well, that's my rant. Thanks in advance!

    Unless you want to carefully saw open the case along the center seam with a fine toothed hacksaw or similar tool to open up the AirPort Express and look for something obvious....like a connector that has come loose or broken wire, it is time to replace the AirPort Express.
    Your chances of success are very small if you want to try the repair route, so do this for the fun of it more than hoping that it will work.
    Even if repairs were possible, a regular shop would likely charge you more than the cost of a new Express.

  • The ethernet ports suddenly stopped working on airport extreme wondering why and how to fix the problem

    I use the ethernet cable to connect my airport extreme to a linksys router to extend the network but suddenly all the ethernet cables on airport extreme stopped working and now the linksys won't get a connection. I was wondering why this might of happened and if there is a solution to fix the problem. Also i wondering if i should get rid of the linksys and get and airport express to just extend the network.

    The Extreme to Express without the Linksys router is the most compatible way to go but I would first check out the Extreme by itself and make sure everything is working properly

  • Internet sharing suddenly stopped working - please help!

    I have been sharing my internet for weeks from my computer but this morning it suddenly stopped working. I've tried changing the password, changing the channel number, and changing the Network name to a simple one, but it is all not working Apparently the authentication server is not responding? How can I fix that?

    I'm having the same problem. I had internet sharing set up on my iMac from Ethernet via AirPort, and received quite well on my MacBook and iPod Touch, and then one day, it just stopped working. I'm assuming that some update or other caused this problem, but I have no idea which (I mostly use the internet on my desktop machine, so it may have been several days before I noticed the problem). I've tried with-and-without a password, and also tried sharing from my MacBook to the iMac and iPod Touch, and I can't get any bandwidth (I can connect to the 802.11 network that I create, but I can't get any internet through it).

  • IPhone 3GS suddenly stopped working with wifi in only one location

    This is the situation.  I have an iPhone 3GS and it the wifi suddenly stopped working at my house (just with the iPhone).
    I have an Airport express (latest generation) and a time capsule (1st generation).  All of my devices (except a PC laptop which isn't much of an issue, and the iPhone) cannot connect to it.  The devices I have are as follows: Apple TV, iPod Touch, iPad 2, the "new" iPad, a macintosh computer.
    However, when I move the Airport express to my work location, and plug it into the ethernet there, the iPhone works totally fine.  It seems like the issue is just at my house.  The Time Capsule works intermittently sometimes; random devices cannot connect to the network sometimes.  The airport express seemed to fix this problem.  I have read that this problem is related to the operating system "Lion" but the network was working fine for months and months after I have upgraded to lion.  Sometimes both devices cease to work, and there is no internet to any devices in my home.
    The network is password protected, so that removes the possibility of neighbors connecting to the network.  The name of the network contains spaces and "symbols" which I have heard is an issue for PC's trying to connect to networks.  Both my home and my workplace are on the same internet provider.
    My questions are:
    Why does the airport express work with the iPhone at my workplace and not at my house?
    How many devices can a 1st gen Time Capsule handle at once?
    If I buy an airport extreme, will it fix this issue?
    How can I fix this?
    I have restarted the device several times (both the iPhone and Time Capsule) and it still didn't fix anything.

    Using the delete all content and settings option is not restoring the iPhone. Using the delete all content and settings option does exactly that - all content and settings are securely deleted except for the firmware, which is not a restore.
    If you do this followed by re-installing an app via the iTunes sync process, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will be lost. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your iPhone and is not stored with the app or synced with the app in your iTunes library on your computer.
    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is stored separately from the app on your iPhone and is included with your iPhone's backup which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other selection available is as a new iPhone. After either one, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes. If you restore from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installing an app that stores data you need to access, the data will be restored with the app. If you restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installng an app, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will not be restored with the app since you didn't restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup where this data is stored.
    If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, you can follow this by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup to recover the 3rd party app settings and the data created and stored by the app along with all other data included with your iPhone's backup.

  • IChat suddenly stopped working

    I'm on an iMac 2.8ghz Intel Duo running OS 10.4.10 connecting via Airport
    After 2 years (on my iBook and then my new iMac) the iChat suddenly stopped working properly 2 days ago. It allows me to see the people in my buddy list but when I ring them for a video chat, they can't see my ringing to accept, and when they ring me, I can't see their invitation. Sometimes I can text them, but it's only worked a couple of times and then not for very long.
    I thought perhaps there was something wrong with the program on my iMac, but it does the same thing on my laptop.
    I called my ISP thinking it may be the modem. We reset the modem and made sure the firewall level was set to OFF, but still no difference.
    I tried some of the suggestions I read here in the forum such as changing the Quicktime speed and making sure the bandwith limit was set to None, even downloaded the newest version of Flip4mac.
    I'm totally baffled. I can log on, see my buddies and they see me, but we can no longer chat or IM.
    Thanks for any input.

  • HT1338 Outgoing mail suddenly stopped working:-(

    My outgoing mail suddenly stopped working - need help to reconfigure.
    Thanks

    I had that issue once too. I turned off my Internet sources (AirPort, ethernet connection) and then opened Mail. Mail actually opened that time. I went to my accounts, deleted them, closed Mail. I then turned on my Internet connection and reopened Mail, reimported my accounts, and everything has been fine since.
    Just a note: I was using IMAP, so everything I wanted on my Mail was on the server, so by deleting my accounts nothing changed. If you're using POP(3), you may experience different issues. By turning off your Internet connections, you can at least determine if Mail is having issues connecting to a server or if the bug is something else.
    Good luck - I'm sure others will have several different suggestions here.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
    The Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least  two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

    i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

    My Sat L300 suddenly stopped working the other day.
    It kept freezing to start with, then nothing at all. So, I kill-disked the HDD and tried to re-install Windows (XP).
    During the install it threw up a message that some internal components had been incorrectly installed and needed to be reinstalled.
    I was told to remove the memory cards and re-seat them.
    That did not work. I thought that perhaps the HDD was damaged, so I fitted a new one, and started to reinstall Windows.
    Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the Motherboard was probably U/S.
    So I have been trawling the .net to find a replacement. Laptop out of warranty! I am told that some other serial numbered motherboards will work with this laptop. Don't really want to get a motherboard only to find its never going to work! My unit has an SPS number of: V000138330.
    I am being offered one with an SPS of: V000138390.
    Any ideas? Will this one work?
    And if it does, will it give me the functionality that I used to enjoy?!
    Sorry for the long sob story.
    Any advice gratefully accepted.

    Hello Andy
    Sorry but can you tell us more about your notebook? which model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    Do you have European model?
    Has your notebook valid warranty?
    Maybe I have misunderstood something but why you want to exchange mainboard if the warranty is probably still valid?
