Cannot connect to Internet wirelessly or with wired connection

Hi!
I have a wireless linksys router connected to a wired linksys router (for vonage). My PC is wired to the wireless router and works fine. My Powerbook G4 was working fine on the wireless network too.
Then, I decided to try to add an Airport Express just for streaming music (it is not wired to the wireless router). I have messed something up. Now, even with the AE unplugged, I can log onto the Linksys network, but the Internet connection does not work. Also, when I Turn Airport Off and wire directly into the router from my G4, I cannot use the Internet.
I've restarted everything I can think of. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like you need to restart the modem and hard reset the Linksys router which is connected to it. Then reconfigure that Linksys router and verify connection (Ethernet and/or wireless). After you get that setup you can add the other devices.

i have tried to connect my c310 wireless although i have connected with usb. help!
Printer does not recognize the network name. I have run the setup many times with no success.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

Turn off your printer.
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
Turn on your printer.
Any difference?

Hi,

iTunes is a program on your computer, it is not "the Internet". The fact that the program runs has no bearing on Internet connectivity.
Maybe if a little more information was supplied, like version of the Operating system on the computer and version of iTunes, then a little more assistance could be provided.

Can't connect to internet wirelessly with WRT120N router

ok, it's nearly 4am and i've been trouble shooting this problem since 11pm... love the technology, but it completely evil...
let me start off by saying i'm not too tech savy. took a couple computer courses in high school and thought it was my passion but they got way above my head in college, so i settled for art (those classes are much easier to pass as long as you draw your homerwork, don't blow up your sculpture etc etc)
anywho, i bought a brand new computer today since i play wow and my old computer was nearing on a decade old and had nearly a dozen manufactury resets from all the viruses from downloaded music. i don't know the make of the new computer (just spent like five minutes looking over the box and it doesn't seem to say) and i literally walked into best buy and walked right up to the computer department store head and said, "which computer should i buy to play wow on for less than $600." he thought for like thirty seconds and pointed to an ASUS and i immediately bought it. took it home, watched tv for a couple hours, then went to set it up since i had a raid in like two hours, thinking, "brand new computer, nothing's gonna go wrong!..."
well it did. my router gives me grief from time to time, so i spent the first hour unplugging, resetting, refreshing (i think that's what the button by the blue lights that has the circling arrows does) and nothing. so then off to the interweb since... oh! this might be important! the one computer i'm on now that has a hardwired connection is running normally, not great, normally. and i just checked my mom's ipad, it's on the network too. my phone, a samsung galaxy s 4 had been connected since i had it, and decided to stop connecting when at least until i noticed i couldn't connect my new desktop and my gf's phone, an iphone 4 wouldn't connect either... in total, i think there's one wired desktop connection, my fail wireless desktop connection, wireless laptop that hasn't been opened in months, an at&t signal booster, an ipad, and 4 phones that connect when they feel up to it. my old iphone 4 i ran on 3g because it was more reliable than my wireless. there's never more than 3 devices running at once. i've seen a few threads mentioning too many devices on one network. could that be it? i hope not. we have comcast as a provider too, if that helps.
oh, and maybe i should describe my problem more clearly. on my phone, when i go to the wifi settings, it still list my network as one i'm linked too, it's just "not in range" and my new desktop can't see it at all. pretty sure it's not a hidden ssid because i connected my phone to it recently and had no probs. also, i'm fairly, but by no means 100%, certain that it's not the wireless card in the computer because i can see a few other networks and my phone had already been on it without giving me problems until earlier today.
if you know how to help, please be thorough in explaining it, and if i need to give more info, i'll try my damnest. please please please!!! help me, i spent all my money on this **bleep** computer and don't have anymore to buy another new router.

Hi there. To start, that blue button that you have been pressing on the router is the Wifi Protected Setup button. You press that button when you want to connect a new wireless device that supports Wifi-Protected Setup to connect to the wireless internet via your wireless router without having to enter anything on the new wireless device. So it means, you did not reset the router. I would like to verify with you though because it is not clear to me (sorry), how do you want your new desktop computer to work? Wirelessly or with Ethernet cable plugged-in? If it is for wireless, you will only need to connect the computer’s wireless connection to the router wireless network and to enter the wireless password if you have wireless security enabled on the router. Also, the router should be able to provide simultaneously internet connection to multiple devices – be it wired or wireless. Sometimes the reason why the wireless would not work is when there is wireless interference in the area that you will need to change its wireless channel to something else. To have wireless security enabled on the router is helpful as well in making sure that the router will provide a better connection speed.

Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

Hi, all...
I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
* Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
* Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
* Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
Many thanks,
Bill J.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
they were no help either.
I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
Thx again.

Hp pavilion d4790y windows vista cannot connect to internet wirelessly unless using WEP

I have a HP Pavilion d4790y with Windows Vista 32 bit home premium. I can connect to my ISP router wirelessly using the HP internal network adapter, but the connection from the router to the internet does not work unless I downgrade the router security to WEP. If I connect to the router with a wired connection, I can connect to the internet no problem even with WPA2. I have done all the recomended troubleshooting steps like resetting the router, checking for network adapter driver update, uninstall/reinstall network adapter driver, release and renew the ip config, etc. Suggesions? Is there a more recent driver that is not being recognized during the update search process?
This question was solved.

Hi,
This is a hardware thing and the wireless card does not support this. Changing the wireless card may be the way to go.
Hope this helps.

Cannot connect to internet wirelessly

I have a Linksys WRT54GC Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router. I'm currently using it at home, via a wired connection. I have used it at home before just fine. I then took it to school and it worked there as well. But when I brought it home again I started having trouble.
Home set up:
Phone line -> DSL modem -> router 1 -> my router -> my computer (and a PC and a TiVo).
I was not able to connect to the internet at all with my router in the mix (without it I could connect fine) and could see and connect to the router (wired and wireless). Linksys tech support was able to get me connect to the internet by having me plug the cable from the first router into the wired out #4. Does not make any sense to me but it works... for wired connections.
I can see my wireless network and connect to it, but haven't be able to access the router configuration page wirelessly (recently), and I don't get the internet wirelessly... on my PowerBook. However I can connect to the internet with my nintendo DS, so the problem seems to be with my computer.
Under my system preferences I get this when I'm connected through the routers wired connection:
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Adress: 192.168.2.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Client ID: (If required)
Router: 192.168.2.1
DNS Servers: (Optional)
Search Domains: (Optional)
IPv6 Address: fe80:0000:0000:0000:020a:95ff:fee0:0a0c
Ethernet ID: 00:0a:95:e0:0a:0c
At first when I connect via AirPort I get a whole lot of nothing:
AirPort ID: 00:0a:95:f7:98:b8
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Adress:
Subnet Mask:
DHCP Client ID: (If required)
Router:
DNS Servers: (Optional)
Search Domains: (Optional)
IPv6 Address: fe80:0000:0000:0000:020a:95ff:fee0:0a0c
And then I get an AirPort assigned IP address:
AirPort ID: 00:0a:95:f7:98:b8
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Adress: 169.254.191.42 (self-assigned)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
DHCP Client ID: (If required)
Router:
DNS Servers: (Optional)
Search Domains: (Optional)
IPv6 Address: fe80:0000:0000:0000:020a:95ff:fee0:0a0c
If I manually set the IPv4 to the same settings as the ethernet settings it still does not work. I don't know what to do. If you need more info to be able to help let me know.

The 169.254.191.42 (self-assigned) simply means it isn't getting a response from any DHCP server/router.
I don't think it's ging to work with the first router plugged into LAN#4. I "think" the problem is/was that router #2 was also trying to hand out DHCP, it should just be set to be a dumb hub, passing DHCP from the 1st one.
Some Routers also need to be set to share the Wired/Wireless ports.
Also, if you have both Ethernet and Wireless in use, the order of the interfaces in Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations is important, the top being used for Internet, but you can drag them into other positions in the list.

HT1766 For some unknown reason, I cannot access the internet through my Wi-Fi connection, even in my own house with the computer on. What shall I do?

I cannot access the internet with my Wi-Fi connection on my IPad2. It began with my trying to reply to a message. I then got a msg that I had the wrong password or user name. Now I have no access and cannot get or send mail, or access the internet. What shall I do?

If you have access to wifi router you may check its log and see what does it say...
Try set the router for no hidden and no password wifi and try to connect. If you iPad can connect then add password to wifi settings on the router and try to connect again... etc...

Internet connection lost with wired connection in hotel

I am in a NYC Hotel and was able to get an Internet connection on my MacBook (2 ghz intel core duo running 10.5.8) via the wifi network with extremely slow connection speed. They also offer Ethernet connection from the room so I tried that and got a very good connection upon restart. I was downloading content from the iTunes store and the connection was interrupted - Internet connection was lost. I tried redrafting again several times but to no avail. I went into network preferences and tried automatic location along with several others I have set up but cannot get it to re-connect. Built-in Ethernet is shown as connected and diagnostics shows Ethernet and network settings in green but ISP Internet and server are red. It configured using DHCP and IP address is 192.168.xx.xxx with subnet mask and router showing addresses as well. DNS Server is identical to IP address and Search Domains says "stayonline.net"
I have 2 other Ethernet connections showing on my locations that I believe are related to Parallels (some say Parallels Host-Guest & Parallels NAT and the others say Ethernet Adaptor (en2) & Ethernet Adaptor (en3)). I have tried making them inactive and re-starting but again to no avail. I don't know much about networking and just want to get my Internet connection working while I'm here. I am sending this from my iPhone and would appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks,
Allan

Sorry I meant restarting not redrafting (iPhone apparently doesn't like the word restart and changed it for me!)

How do I disconnect from Wireless to use wired connection?

Hi - I'm new to this and I apologize if this question is ridiculously easy.
I am using a cable modem in which I have plugged my WRT160Nv2 wireless router. I am supporting three computers here in my home; my laptop (both wired and wireless), my daughters laptop (wireless only), and my desktop (wired only).
Everything works great and I have to give all the credit to CISCO and the excellent software which automatically solves every connection problem that comes up.
My laptop and desktop are connected to the wireless router via cable.
My question is strictly about my laptop. When I leave my office in the house and go into another room, I establish the wireless connection. Now I am back in my home office room, I want to use my wired connection. How do I do this? Do I need to disable my wireless connection so that my wired connection takes over? Again, I do have my laptop connected to the wireless router via cat5.
I want to do this strictly for the speed of the connection. I've read that a wired connection is double if not more in Mbps.
This laptop is running Win XP Pro, SP3.
I hope this furnishes enough info to assist in an answer.
Thanks in advance.
John
P.S.. I really do want to educate myself regarding the equipment I am using and not have to ask such basic questions. Are there any books or websites you can recommend that can start me out and go as technical as I choose to?

Windows by default uses the fastest connection possible. If you have a wireless and wired connection active at the same time it depends on how fast both connections are rated. Wireless connections tend to change depending on the distance. Wireless 802.11g goes up to 54 Mbit/s. Wireless 802.11n can go up to some 300 Mbit/s. Wired connections are usually either gigabit ethernet (1000 Mbit/s) or fastethernet (100 Mbit/s).
Thus, which is picked depends on your computer. You should check the connection status of both connections in the network connections control panel. It shows you the current wireless and wired speed (the latter won't change of course). Very often, the wired connection is preferred to the wireless connection. Now with 802.11n connections the wireless connection is preferred if your wired connection is only fastethernet.
As your WRT160Nv2 has only FastEthernet LAN ports you have to check how fast the wireless connection is. If you have a 802.11n wireless adapter in your laptop it may show up the wireless connection faster then 100 Mbit/s. Depending on the setting it may change occassionally between 54 Mbit/s and speeds higher then 100 Mbit/s which would lead Windows to swap connections. If you see that problem it is better to switch off the wireless in the laptop while you have a wired connection...
A wired connection is more reliable and stable then a wireless connection. With wireless you can have interference. Thus, even though a wired connection may be slower then a wireless one you may prefer to use the wired connection anyway. And some people prefer to turn off the wireless to avoid radiation.
To sum up: usually you don't have to switch off the wireless, unless you experience problems because of the mentioned changing speeds of the wireless connection. The computer will always only use one connection. Not both.

Can i use the airport express in my hotel with wired connection?

I'm going to be traveling quite a bit coming up and staying in hotels with wired internet connections in the room. Can i use the airport express to connect with the hotel's internet connection and then my ipad and/or iphone 4S? I'm new to Apple products so will certainly appreciate any info that may help. Thank you!

You will need to have AirPort Utility installed on the iPad and/or iPhone. It is free on the App Store
App Store - AirPort Utility
Connect the AirPort Express 802.11n to the hotel Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable
Power up the AirPort Express and wait 40-45 seconds
Tap Settings, then tap Wi-Fi on the iPad
Tap the AirPort Express under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station
AirPort Utility will take a moment to to analyze the connection and then you can proceed with the easy guided setup
Once the AirPort Express is configured, you should not have to set it up again at the next hotel. But, you could if you want to.
