Cannot get Airport to connect to net.. but ethernet works fine

I was trying to install an Airport Express and failed in great style.
How ever I have removed the airport from use and now use just modem\ router again.
but I have tried resetting airport settings .. as it now assigns a self IP address of 169.15.*. instead of 10.1.1.* .
I try adding the DNS as 10.1.1.1 (as on my partners iMac) and all the settings.. but it still wont connect to my network (well it connects but i cant use the net)
but when i plug in ethernet.. works great....
Have tried removing airport, adding dns address, manually adding details and that but still cant get my wireless cnnection working again (it did work until i attempted to install the airport express, but yea now airport card doesnt work.

Any resolution on this Paul? Today I began with the same problem. My Macbook Pro on S.L. has been working great wirelessly. Now, it connects to my router and gets an ip address. But no internet. However, when I plug it into the router with a cable, I'm on in no time.
I have logged into my router and cleared all the ip addresses and even reset it to factory settings. I've deleted my networks from my system prefs as well.
Right now I'm running it hardwired to a Linksys router running dd-wrt- which is as close to wireless as I could come up with in a pinch.
What did you do? Or does anyone else have ideas?

  • HT4600 i Get a solid amber light sometimes, bUT all works fine. I have to unplug the airport extreme to reset it and then it turns green and starys that way for a week or so and then turns back to amber. why is this and how do i fix it ?

    I gat a solid amber light once a week on my airport extreme, but all works fine. I have to unplug it to reset it and then the light turns back to green and it is good for another week and then it happens again. why is this and what can i do to fix it ?

    Solid amber on an AirPort Extreme is an indication that the internal power supply is starting to act up.
    If the AirPort Extreme is in warranty, it shouid be exchanged for another AirPort Extreme.
    If the AirPort Extreme is several years old, keep any eye on things. When/if you find that you are having to reset the device several times a week, it's time to start thinking about a replacement device, as the end is near.

  • IPhone 5 apps dont connect to net but browsing works

    When I bought my iPhone 5 everything was working fine. Now there's a strange problem (when using 3G) where I can browse the net "google stuff" and open sites, however, App Store, Facebook app, twitter app and many other apps wont connect to the net. Other apps like instagram connect. Some apps like Whatsapp, I can send messages through however I cannot recieve nor send pictures (it just fails to send). HOWEVER, when I use WiFI all apps and net work normally with no problems. The only problem is when not using WiFi.
    I removed my SimCard and inserted it into another iPhone 5 and surprisingly everything worked fine. I instered another SimCard into my iPhone but the same problem remained. Ive visited my Carrier several times, all the settings are correct and they claim no problem from their side.
    Im using it in Dubai, it was always fine, however I recently came back from the US which is when the problem began. When I was in the US eveverything was fine too, was using (AT&T). Does anyone have an idea what should I do?? I even tried updating to the latest iOS but that didnt do anything either.

    First charging,
    The USB ports on many computers do not provide enough power for charging a device. The Not Charging message is pretty common. It is recommended to charge your device using the charger that came with it plugged into a known good wall outlet.
    Second connecting to iTunes.
    You don't mention which version of iTunes you have. The iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 or later. If you do not have these latest versions of iTunes download and install iTunes 11.0.1 which is the latest version.

  • I cannot get my firewire connection between 2 MacBooks to work.

    I am trying to move my iPhoto photo library from a MacBook Pro running on OS 10.5.8 to a MacBook Pro running on OS 10.6.8.  The two MacBooks are connected via a FireWire 800 port connector, but nothing is happening.  When I look at Network in Preferences, the first MacBook shows FireWire with a green light, and the second one shows a yellow light.  I have no idea what else to do (and I am not a technical person, so I'm not sure where else to look).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you put any of your Macs in Target Disk mode? If not, do it. Hold the T key while one of your Macs are starting, so this MacBook's hard drive will be detected as an external disk on the other Mac.
    Finally, copy the iPhoto library to the other MacBook Pro's hard drive. You will see it in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Copy it to your user's folder

    Wow so dramatic, sorry that just seemed an odd way to start a message.  I would first recommend trying to perform a system restore.  This hardly ever fixes any thing, but it is the easiest thing to try.  Go the start menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> System Restore.  Then choose the date that is before the system started acting weird.
    If that doesn't help yeah try a repair install of LabVIEW on what ever versions are acting funny.

  • I keep getting, "Unable to connect". Yet Internet Explorer works fine.

    I've been trying to get to the web, but keep getting the above message, followed by, "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at mozilla.com."
    IE connects just fine, so it's not a connection problem with my modem, or provider. I even tried typing mozilla.com, and nothing but the error message. This follows an incident before logging off last night, in which my firefox windows suddenly went full screen (no search window, toolbar, etc).
    What gives?

    It may be due to your firewall. Try this: [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

  • Imac can't connect to internet but ethernet working

    Any ideas on how to resolve this, has me baffled. In an office where all other computers can connect but for some reason this imac can't.

    Is the  indicator next to Ethernet in the left Network panel breen or red?  Green should indicate it is enabled. 
    Did you se your IPv4 setting appropriately (probalby DHCP).
    Try using alternate DNS servers such as OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) or google's DNS's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).  Click the Advanced button, TCP/IP, and renew your lease if you are using DHCP.  Configure IPv6 as Automatically (or off?).  Also make sure all proxies are off.
    For comparison look at the Network settings for one of the machines that is working.
    Finally, is this machine connected to a router that may have its own problems?

  • Getting a green sceen and sound, but everything works fine in chrome.

    I have a new computer it uses Windows 8.  According to the Adobe website I have the latest version of flash player installed (16. something).  I usually use Google Chrome for my browser, but my kids use internet explorer.  I noticed about a week ago that when I played my one game the ads came up green and the kids said videos came up that way too (on IE).  However in Chrome they work great.  The real problem is Skype.  I got on today and  only get the green screen to see my Dad who I was talking to, but I can see myself in the playback video at the bottom perfectly fine.  I have tried everything on the Adobe site that I can.  I can usually fix things on the computer but this has me stumped.  I am still getting used to the new operating system too, so that doesn't help me.

    Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)

    Hi StuNYC,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing an alert message when opening Mail on your iOS devices. Do you have multiple email accounts setup on the devices? Take a look at the article below, it provides suggestions that will resolve most issues that  cause an alert like that to appear in when starting the Mail app.

  • On my I pad mini I keep getting "cannot get mail" the connection to the server failed. but everything is Ok I can get mail. Why do I get this message??

    On my I pad Mini I keep getting the message "Cannot get Mail" The connection to the server has failed.
    But this is not the case everything works OK so why do I get the message

    An iOS fluke or mail app glitch maybe. Not sure anyone will know why you get it. Do you're ever close the mail app? Try closing it and reset the iPad and see if the message goes away.
    Assuming that you are running iOS 7, in order to close apps, you drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close 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.

    What do you mean it did not work!  What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
    Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?  
    Have you changed your router channel?  Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.
