Cannot connect to web but Finding the network and connecting at startup

Hi, im using a Belkin G+ Mimo router to connect wirelessly to my intel iMac. When i start up my iMac it detects the network and says it is connected with full signal (NB. The nertwork is encrypted with WPA Personal). I start up Safari and it says it cannot access the internet. To get the internet to work i have to open 'Internet Connect' and disable the airport and enable it again. After that it works.
I am convinced that the error lies within the iMac because despite saying it is connected, it cannot even access the router homepage (192.168.2.1). ANy help would be grately appreciated! Merry Xmas

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Check that either MAC Address blocking is disabled on the router or enter the iMac's Airport Extreme MAC address on to the router.
Merry Christmas

I have a wireless router for my house, and my I-phone can find the network and sign in but it won't show up in airport for my i -mac even when right beside the router. What can I do?

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

MBP Airport consistently disconnecting from the Web, but not the network

My MacBook Pro Airport has been cutting in and out - or at least the Web access has - when I use it in combination with a DLink router. The local wireless network connection always seems to stay connected (or at least it says it's connected), but I can't access the Web. It has shown these symptoms when used in combination with other routers too, but only when I use it with the DLink first and then move to another network.
I can sometimes fix the problem by a combination of restarting OS X and resetting the PRAM, and restarting the router. However, this doesn't always fix the problem, and even if it did, I'd probably be doing it at least once a day with the current frequency of disconnections. So I'd like to get to the route of the problem.
An ethernet connection to the DLink router always works without a hitch.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any knowledge that might help resolve this?

Just remembered I have the 'self assigned IP' error too. There seems to be a fair few posts about this issue. I haven't found a definitive fix yet, but these posts might hold some clues;

The second post suggests applying the 'Disconnect from wireless network when logging out', which I've applied, because I've noticed that I often see the problem when I put my MBP to sleep.
p.s. Last year I quick-fixed this issue by attaching a Buffalo wireless router to the network as an extension and connecting to that instead of the Dlink. But I just gave the Buffalo to someone, having forgotten about the issues with connecting to the DLink.

How do I fix this? imei 990002267564852 iPhone 5 32GB Black.

You can call Apple Care to find out which carrier it's locked to and only they can officially unlock.
Best you return for a refund and buy one that's not carrier & activation lock.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hey Babakgh,
I understand that you've experienced recent issues with your Wi-Fi network where you can only connect to it if you're close to the router. I would start off troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network by following the steps in here:

Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment.

Can't get my epson sx535wd to work. my epson will get contact with my router (sitcom wl306) and my mac is on wifi, but they can't connect. epson can't find the computer and my report says: there are conflicting channels on my router or entry point. help

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

Are you refering to a home network or some form of public
if home network ensure your router has latest firmware and try rebooting it

HT6162 Hi guys, I downloaded this new iOS7.1 but it always fails to install. It says I am not connected to the Internet while I have all the network and second excuse it gives is that the software update is currently unavailable. Please help.

Hi Romantilizer,
Hook your phone up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do your update from there. This is a robust iOS release, and doing it OTA is not always successful. I tried on my iPhone a couple of times, and it aborted the update twice. Did it via the Mac, and it was fine.
It takes a bit of time, so hook it up, make sure it is updating your phone, and then find something else to do for a couple of hours.
Cheers,

Just bought a new Airport Extreme BS. After setup my iphone4 won't find the network (not even with manual entries), but my iMac (2009) does. What is wrong?

Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success. After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up. Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone. Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

Hello, Toro Silva.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The steps in the section labeled Unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage with phone number and Apple ID after waiting 24 hours (iPhone only) of the article below, should help resolve the issue. Make sure to create a current backup prior to processing these steps.

Every time I close my Macbook Air and then go to use it again. My wifi is not connected, I have to go to the network diagnostics and basically find my network and reconnect every time. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

worksafe's link with the KeyChain fix is good.
This usually happens when KeyChain has two entries for the same WiFi network.
If repair did not work you can follow the manual steps:
Disconnect WiFi
Open KeyChain from Applications / Utilities and find your WiFi network entry(ies) and delete all of them.
Connect to your WiFi again.

I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

Some updates and clarifications:
1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

I have the latest itunes and I've just purchased a season from a series but I cannot the episodes even though they seem to be downloaded. I'm going to the purchased section find the episode and pre play but it only comes up with the 30 sec trailer.

I have the latest itunes and I've just purchased a TV series but I cannot watch the episodes even though they seem to be downloaded. I'm going to the purchased section find the episode and press play but it only comes up with the 30 sec trailer rather than the full trailer.. any suggestions?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks
