Cannot connect to the internet from my MAC on WRT160Nv2 - no problems connecting from my PC

Hi,
I have just bought a WRT160Nv2, but I am having problems connecting to the internet from my MAC (a powerbook with OS X) when I connect to the router wirelessly. If I try from my PC the Internet works fine. Also if I connect the MAC directly to the routers LAN port, the Internet works.
When I connect wirelessly from the MAC I do get an IP adress, and I am able to access the routers web configuration page. I can also see that the correct DNS gets assigned, so I am low on suggestions to what could be the problem.
Currently I have the router set up to WPA2 encryption, but I have tried different settings, e.g. no security at all with the same result.
I just tried upgrading to the newest firmware (WRT160Nv2_v2.0.02_008), also with no luck.
Also I should mention that the MAC can connect to other wireless connections without problems, e.g. my previous ZyXel DSL router. 
Any ideas to what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Rasmus

Well maybe WPA2 Security is not compatible with Mac so change the Security mode to WEP or WPA and prepare security key of 10 digit password and while connecting to the wireless network on Mac type a $ sign first followed by the 10 digit passoword and it should work.

  • Why is it that every time I try to connect to the Internet with my Mac the whole Wi-Fi system comes down and it's only when I turn on my Mac

    Every time I try to connect to the Internet my Mac always makes the Wi-Fi turned off and we have lots of iPads and iPhones and they are fine when we try to use them but as soon as I my Mac it doesn't work. When we have a PC try to connect to the Internet nothing happens but when I try to connect to the Internet with my Mac the Internet turns off

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

    I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8)  and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
    When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
    It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
    Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
    Thanks.

    The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
    So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
    Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

    Have you contacted Sprint?  See if they can resolve your issue, if you can't get 3G.

  • I just got my ipod stolen, I requested to do a remote lock. I got the email that it got locked, meaning they connected to the internet. Can I see where they got connected?

    I just got my ipod stolen, I requested to do a remote lock. I got the email that it got locked, meaning they connected to the internet. Can I see where they got connected?

    Since the lock was successful, the dirtbag who stole it will not be able to do anything with the iPod until it is restored as new. Of course that means you will no longer be able to locate it.
    Its last location may be reported, if the WiFi location it used to connect was known.

  • I can't access the internet on our Mac desktop .  I am connected to wifi and other computers in our house can access the internet.

    1.Power Cycle
       Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
       Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.

      Restart the computer.

  • TS3694 My iPad won't update software saying it can 't connect to the Internet which is not true as you can see from me being able to write this. there is no error code. It just says unable to verify, try again later. Any suggestions?

    My iPad won't update iOS 7.0.4 software saying it is unable to verify because it can 't connect to the Internet and to try again later.  It doesn't display an error message number. Obviously I can connect otherwise you wouldn't be reading this. Any suggestions? Many thanks for your help.

    You didn't specify which way you are trying to update - using the Software Update setting on the iPad or by using iTunes. I will assume that you are using iTunes because the kb article that linkd you to here was the one about iTunes error codes.
    Quit iTunes, reset your iPad, restart your computer and try again. Disable your firewall and antivirus software of you are using it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
