Can't access internet via Airport even when I have full signal

MacBook    
When I turn Airport on I get full signal from my wireless connection but when I open Safari it says it cannot connect to the internet. I have had my MacBook since December '06 and it never gave me this problem before. Only in the last month is it giving me this problem. I am using the exact same wireless connection as before......i dunno whats going on. Please help.

I was just going to post this exact topic! My iBook connects to my home Airport Express flawlessly, and my iPhone can detect and connect to it, but then it doesn't display the WiFi logo (it still uses EDGE). Any help for the three of us?

  • When I put my iphone5 on charge no matter where I am and even when I have full signal my phone will always drop the signal and continue to have no signal until I take it off charge. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Everytime I put my iphone5 on charge now matter where I am and even when I have signal it always drops the signal and continues to have no signal until I take it off charge. I have the up to date software on it and everything and is relatively new. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • Can,t access wifi via airport after left my mbp idle for just 1 minute

    i can,t access wifi via airport after left my mbp idle for just 1 minute, i need to turn airport off & turn airport on if i left my mbp idle for just 1 minute or less...why this thing happen? anyone can help thanks in advance

    Something that came to mind after rereading you post relates to the particulars of a "hard" reset on the Snow.
    A “hard” reset removes current setting from the base station. You must then connect to the base station using the AirPort Admin Utility and upload AirPort 2.0 or later software to return the base station to its default settings. A base station in a hard reset is only accessible through the LAN port, not via wireless connections ... so attempting to access with the AAU, via a wireless client, will not work.
    The following is the process to reload the AirPort software: AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) : How to reload software from Mac OS X

  • I can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

    Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    You can also try restarting your iPad. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • IPhone can't access internet via home Airport network

    Hello,
    a work colleague of mine has an iMac at home with a single Airport Express unit through which he plays music. He connects his iMac to the internet via an ethernet cable. He has just purchased an iPhone with an Orange contract. His son also has an iPhone through his employer.
    Neither my colleague nor his son can access the internet with their iPhones via my colleague's home Airport network. Both iPhones recognise the Airport network, evidenced by the 'fan' icon that appears on their iPhones.
    (Hope the above makes sense.)
    I have emailed my colleague several 'help' articles, including those put out by Apple. My colleague has also communicated with someone from Apple (AppleCare I think?) but the problem persists.
    Both iPhones apparently perform okay apart from this one irritating instance. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
    Many thanks,
    Bob.

    If it's an N Airport, I have heard that iPhones don't play well with N routers even if they are backward compatible with G.
    Otherwise, they could try going into Settings/Wifi. See if the network shows up. Try clicking on it and see if it connects.
    If that doesn't work click on the little arrow on the right side next to the network. This will reveal the network settings. Make sure that it's set on DHCP if that is how they acquire an IP address or static if that's what they use. If it's static, you'll have to put in the settings.

  • Can't access Internet via Ethernet port of 'n' Express in 'Extend' mode

    I just purchased the new Airport Express (AXp) n version for the purpose of extending my Airport Extreme (AXt) n version wireless network so that I can connect my old MacBook Pro (MBP) 17" core duo, running Mac OS X 10.5.2, to the AXp via an Ethernet cable when the MBP is stationary at my desk, in order to increase the maximum speed at which I am able to access the internet, from 54 Mbps for my MBP's internal wireless g card to 130 Mbps at which the AXp runs in the following configuration.
    On the AXt, I set the wireless mode to create a wireless network, checked off the option to allow this network to be extended, set the radio mode to n (b/g compatible), set the channel to 11 (works best for our house), and set the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal. On the AXp, I set the wireless mode to extend a wireless network, unchecked the option to allow wireless clients (I have also tried this option checked, as well), and set the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal. Both Airport bases are running firmware version 7.3.1.
    When I do this everything looks fine. My network preferences indicate that I have a valid IP address, and I am able to see and screen share with other computers on the local network; however, when I try to access the internet using Safari 3.1, I get a timeout error message indicating that the server I addressed is not responding. Then when I run the diagnostics from the network preferences, it indicates that my internet connection appears to be working correctly, and all the network status lights show green.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks so much for all your replies. I will try to address all the points in this reply.
    99, I think you are right, about Apple not supporting using the Ethernet WAN port as a LAN port when the AXp is in the "Extend" mode. However, I had read on the Apple website that it does support using the AXp WAN as a LAN in the WDS "Remote" mode, as you have verified with your older AXp, and which I had also verified with my new AXp. The only problem was, when using the AXp in the WDS "Remote" mode, the AXp ran ONLY at 54 Mbps, even when there were no additional wireless clients connected to it or to the AXt, which kind of defeated the purpose of using the AXp as an Ethernet bridge in the first place.
    The only way I could get an AXp bridge to run at 130 Mbps was to use it in the "Extend" mode or the "Join" mode. In the "Join" mode, using the WAN as a LAN works fine when connecting to the Internet, but I am not able to see or screen share with any of the computers on my local network. In the "Extend" mode, I am able to see and screen share with all the computers on my local network, but I am not able to get to the Internet, even though the Network Diagnostic tool reports that my Internet connection "appears" to be working properly, and it gives me all green lights (and as near as I can tell with my limited knowledge of DNS, all that information appears correct, as well).
    Bottom line, I don't think Apple has properly enabled the AXp's WAN as a LAN in the "Extend" mode, as they have in the "Join" mode and in the slower WDS "Remote" mode.

  • Only one of three computers can connect to Internet via Airport

    My partner made a change in airport settings when a problem with the router came up and I only partially have it fixed.  We have three different computers that have all been accessing the Internet via an 1st generation Airport extreme.  The Airport is connected via ethernet to the cable router.  One computer, the one that was used to set up the Airport originally, can connect to the Internet just fine.  The other two laptops can "see" the Airport network, but cannot get an Internet connection.  Do I need to reset the Airport and start over?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Your partner likely changed the AirPort to Bridge Mode based on the information in your post.
    Check the following setting on the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    Update to save settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort to restart.
    Then restart the entire network again.

  • 2 Computers Cannot Access Internet Via Airport Extreme at the same time!

    I recently purchased two new computers -- a Macbook Pro (for myself) and a Macbook (for my wife). My Macbook Pro arrived first, and connected to the wireless network via Airport Extreme with no problem. Once my wife's computer arrived, and we would connect to the network with her computer, every time she accesses the network it basically "boots" my computer from the network. It still says I'm "connected" to it, but no programs/browsers/etc. that use the internet will actually work and it behaves as though there is no network connected at all. In the mean time, her Macbook continues to operate as normal and never seems to get "booted" by my Macbook Pro. Is the network thinking our two computers are the same computer? Or, what is the problem? PLEASE HELP!

    I have had the same problem with my iMac and MacBook, both on leopard and with a new AEBS. With the additional symptom that internet connection will drop on either machine individually, with the other powered off. I also tried a Time Capsule, with exactly the same results. But I have observed what is described here. Internet connection is fine on one machine, then drops and I find the other machine working for awhile, until it drops. Just ping-ponging back and forth.
    Since I am seeing the same problem in two new Macs with an AEBS and TC, it's hard to say that there a problem specifically with any one of them. I suspect that my problem is interference, or electrical noise when using 802.11n. The only thing that worked for me is "802.11b/g compatible" mode.
    In another post, it was suggested that the AEBS was interacting with Digital cable TV/internet, potentially causing an electrical noise issue. What kind of service to you have?

  • Unable to access internet via Airport Express

    Hi. I'm have trouble connecting to the internet using my Airport Express.
    When I plug in my DSL modem to the unit, I get the solid green light. My Macbook is able to connect to the airport, and to other computers on the same Airport.
    However, none of my computers are able to reach any internet sites. They were even unable to directly ping a remote IP address. However, if I plug my DSL modem directly into my Macbook, bypassing the Airport, it correctly connects to the internet, which leads me to believe the problem is with my Airport.
    A couple of oddities which I don't know if they are normal. First, in my MacBook's network prefs, the DNS box is blank. However, I'm connected via DHCP, so I didn't know if that'd matter. In the airport configuration app, under internet, it's also using DHCP, but the box is empty, with the same address as the router (192.168.1.1) greyed out next to it. The IP address is 192.168.1.5. This number is rather different than when I connect to my DSL router directly on my MacBook.
    I'm running what I believe to be the newest firmware (6.3).
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,
    Nathaniel

    Hi,
    I solved the problem using the airport express firmware 6.1.1. and erasing all favourites networks in network pref panel to create new ones. You may also check the keychains utility (applications -> utilities). If there is several times the same pass, just keep the latest and erase the others.
    Hope my english is understandable...

  • D-link router DIR-615, Can't access internet with Airport Wireless 802.11B

    It is a known issue with many Dlink routers that with the router wireless settings on "802.11 B,G,N" it will NOT work with your G3/ some G4 wireless cards that ONLY support 802.11B.
    Enter 192.168.0.1 in your address bar to access your Dlink router. Go to settngs....wireless settings...
    Go to your router settings and select "802.11B" ONLY or "802.11 B and G". This will solve the problem. D-link is aware.
    I was told they will be coming out with updated firmware to correct the issue.

    It's almost better to have a 2nd router for the older B cards anyway because running in multi mode with the 615, it's not a dual band device, so you won't see any speed benefits in G or N. better to run B/G anyway.

  • 24" imac 2.4 says connected to internet via airport--but does not

    I just got a new 2.4ghz 24" aluminum imac. There are three other macs in my house, all of which connect to our wireless network and are able to browse the internet. This new computer can connect to the network, yet it always has one of two problems: either it says it is connected to the network, but can't access the internet, or it says it is connected to the internet via airport, but when you open your web browser, no such luck. Many times when I open the network preference panel, there is no router number assigned. Sometimes there is. I can connect to other networks in the neighborhood that don't require a password just fine (how I'm writing this). Why can this new machine not connect, when all three of the other macs in the house have no problem?
    anyone, please help. this is frustrating.
    thanks,
    keegan

    OK but, like you, my other machines (PowerPC iMac and Power Book) did seem to work OK while the new iMac was playing-up. It was only when I noticed that the Old iMac had not downloaded some podcasts that I started to look at the router. I now remember having a similar problem a few years ago - frequent failure to automatically log-in to the router, occasional failure of manual log-ins and slow/unreliable connection once logged-in. A new router fixed the problem. It's a real pain but there you are. Must remember to keep receipt of current router and kick-up a fuss if it fails within the guarantee period.
    Sorry if this doesn't help but I thought it worthwhile posting my experience over the last 2 days.
    Have you tried connecting to your router by ethernet?
    I'll let you know if the problem returns but all is sweetness and light at present.

  • Can't connect to Internet via Airport but CAN via Ethernet

    Yeah so I have tried TWO different of my AX's and can not connect to the internet via EITHER even though Network Status says "you are connected to the internet via Airport". But, if I hook the ethernet cable directly to the computer from the modem it connects to the internet fine. What am I missing. Oh yeah, and on one of the AX's the "music" tab does not appear next to the "WDS" tab thus not allowing AirTunes on that AX, any ideas on that too? PLEASE HELP!!

    CONNECTED!! After resetting the modem, llike you suggested, I am able to get the wireless network back up and running, BUT...I am still having problems with one base station not showing the "music" tab and thus not letting me stream music to it. When I hit "configure" the tab shows for a quick second then disappears. Any idea?

  • Password doesn't save when connecting to the internet via Airport

    When I try and connect through Airport to my wireless internet connection an error message comes up almost immediately with the message that the "connection has timed out".
    The only way I can get the internet through Airport is if I run through the Network Diagnostics scheme and re-enter my password which I have previously entered and checked off to save.
    This is getting really frustrating every time I turn on my computer and it has only been an issue since I upgraded to Leopard. I have all the current updates and drivers installed.
    I've checked Keychain Access to see if it was being overridden by an earlier password but that's not the case. What else can I do to automatically have Airport connect to the internet?

    Have you deleted all the Airport keychains and created a new location ? That might fix it.
