Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective??? Thank you!

This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

HT1595 Apple tv will connect to the network but cannot connect to the Internet

My apple tv is connecting to my network but it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I've already tried restarting everything and I've also connected it to my portable mifi network with same results. Anybody have any ideas?

This is what the MAC address clone looks like:
Should I enable it? If so, should I put something in the MAC Address? What? I was able to connect it thru my MiFi, but not my home network. Until today, it's been connected to my home network for about 8 months with no problem. Haven't used it for a while...not since I got a new router.

NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

Hi Nakia,
> I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the internet. Airplay logo not available on ipad3, iPod touch3g and showing intermittently in iTunes on windows laptop. Switched ISP a few days ago. Entered pass key info on all.

I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

IPhone can join WRT54GS network, but cannot connect to internet

I've got a WRT54GS v.1.1 router w/latest firmware (4.41.4). My wired and wireless computers (windows XP) can connect just fine and see the internet. My iPhone 3GS can join the network, but cannot see the internet. The phone can join the network, gets a DHCP address/gateway/DNS info just fine. Other machines on the local network can see the phone and vice-versa. However, any time the iPhone tries to reach out to the internet, a message pops up saying "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
Again, other machines on my network can connect without issue. My iPhone has no trouble connecting to other WiFi networks.
I've tried all different wireless encryption schemes, including no password/encryption, with the same results each time. I've also tried using a static IP address on my phone. No luck. MAC filtering is disabled, as is any other access restrictions.
Finally, I've reset the phone's network settings, reset the router to its factory defaults, and tried everything else I can think of.
I've only seen one similar message one these boards with this problem, but it was never responded to. Anyone seen this before of have other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
David

Thanks for your response!
IP: 192.168.1.100 (DHCP-assigned)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 66.218.44.5, 66.218.44.90 (the DNS's of my ISP)
Router's (local) IP address is 192.168.1.1
Router's internet-facing address is the one assigned by my ISP via their DHCP
All looks right to me.

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

When I call a iPhone or iPad user on my iMac using FaceTime, the person being call can hear the ring but cannot connect. Does anyone have any trouble shooting advise???

Need help in determing why a person receiving a FaceTime call from me cannot connect? The person receiving a call from me says that they hear my call coming in but when they try to connect nothing happens. If anyone has any trouble shooting advise or why the call receiver cannot connect let me know ASAP. I also have a MacBook Pro with the same FaceTime problem. Help! Help!

Its too bad that your phone is out of warranty because this is most likely a manufacturer fault. You need to take it back to Apple. If it is not a manufacturing fault, then go to any shop that your network owns and talk to them about this problem.

Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

Recognize Network, but Cannot Connect

We recently changed the network name at my house. My ibook g4 still recognizes the network, but when I click on it to connect, it will not connect. It gives me a message box saying I can try again, but that does not seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Are you using the right encryption for the network?
Try repairing permissions and it'd be a good idea to update your OS to 10.4.11.
(You can ethernet in to do that.)
Also reboot everything, router, modem and computers and see if that works.

Spotify Connect & Yamaha Reciever problems - See the device but cannot connect.

I have a Yamaha RX-V577 reciever with Spotify Connect and update to the last firmware.
When I try to connect spotify using the Android APP, I see the device but cannot conect to it.
What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?
1. I star a song
2. Click on the speaker sign with a circle, and click on the receptor (Yahama device).
3. The grey rounder speaker sign goes from grey to green and the sound waves moves (like tryng to connect).
4. After a while it goes back to grey.
IMPORTANT I dont know how sometimes it works, dunno how but after trying alot yesterday It worked. But cannot reproduce it.

I have the EXACT same issue BUT on a Sony STR 1050! It worked fine up until lately. Sometimes I get it to work, but mostly not. When it works, it's very unreliable and often not in synch.
It still works absolutely fine with my Computer/Spotify App. I can even tell my PC to use my AVR as sound output and the connect to my PC to listen via my AVR. But connecting directly to my AVR is a PITA. Since more users have the same problem across different AVRs, it seems to be a new Spotify problem and not an issue with my AVR.
When can we expect that this issue is fixed!? I'm using this feature constantly.

Is there a way to stay connected to a network but use wireless for my internet?

Hello all.
Quick question.
I am looking at using my phone's mobile hotspot for my iMac to connect to via wifi since it's on 4G, and this internet at this house is dire. Really, really slow. I've got a wireless router plugged into the cable modem, which has a Western Digital World Edition network hard drive connected to it.
Since this is the first time I had good speeds (via the phone hotspot) I started downloading OS X Lion. I then went downstairs and realised I'd like to listen to the music on my harddrive, so I plugged the ethernet cable in. As soon as I do that, despite airport being above ethernet on the network config pref pane, it automatically connects to the ethernet internet instead, and drops to really slow again.
As I see it, I can either benefit from the fast internet and have no access to the network, or be able to use the network but get poor internet speeds.
Without sounding stupid: can I use the wifi to get the fast internet, whilst being connected via ethernet to the network?
(i'd unplug the modem, but when I'm out of the house my girlfriend will need to be able to connect to the internet via the network...)
SECONDLY, is there a way to be connected to the ethernet network and toggle on/off internet access from it at the same time? E.g.... I would be connected to access our hard drive, etc., all the time, but if i didn't have access to my phone I could click something and enable internet access through the ethernet network, and turn it off when i had my phone to hand?
Let me know!

can I use the wifi to get the fast internet, whilst being connected via ethernet to the network?
Sorry, but no.
SECONDLY, is there a way to be connected to the ethernet network and toggle on/off internet access from it at the same time?
Yes. You should have a means to disable the modem. Doing so would disconnect you from the Internet but still leave your local network functional in order to access the WD HDD.

My iPad is connected to my network but cannot open any page in safari or access the internet

My iPad is connected to my network and have full signal but cannot open any page in safari or connect to the internet or able to log in to iCloud. I forgot all my connections, reset my router updated to 8.1.1 and nothing

Hopefully, this will be of some help.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support

My macbook pro can see my home wi-fi network but cannot connect to it. My iphone and ipad are connected to my home wi-fi so the problem is not the modem.

Wow, I tried to submit this as a problem and the computer lost the wifi connection again, so i lost the whole explanation i typed up.
I've turned off computer and modem multiple times.
When I tried to run the network diagnostic, the macbook pro gave me a "perhaps you are out of range error". I am sitting next to the modem.
My iphone and ipad are wonderfully connected to the home wifi network, so it cannot be the modem/router, correct?
If I am on the same floor as the router/modem then the macbook pro can see my home network but after tyoing in my password and trying to connect i get a "timed out" message.
If I move down one floor, then the macbook can see and connect to the wifi. I only have one modem on one floor.
Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run to see why this particular device (macbook pro) is behaving ths way? It just seems weird because the computer could connect to the wifi network yesterday while i was sitting next to the router.

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

I can see my laptop on the local network, but cannot connect to it

I run my MacBook Pro on a couple of different local networks, at work and at home. When on another computer on the network, I can see the MacBook in the Shared section of the Finder, but when I try to connect to it, it just hangs. An external party who used to be able to connect to my computer for troubleshooting our business software (using a program called Timbuktu) can no longer connect to my laptop either. When on the MacBook however, I can see and connect to other Shared computers without a problem. I have File Sharing enabled. Is there a security preference I am missing somewhere?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz Mac OS X 10.5.8

Can you provide us with a screen grab of the folder so we can see the current structure.
