Cant connect to internet using airport?!!!

Hi,
Suddenly and out of nothing, I just dont seem to be able to get connect to internet using airport. I restarted all devices but it still not working. Though I can connect to my wireless network using airport, I cant use the internet. I can use the internet from other devices and I've already checked my settings.
Thanks

Hi - what do you mean when you say that you "installed Airport Express on laptop" - do you mean "with your laptop using the Windows 7 version of the Airport Utility? - and what wireless router are you referring to? - if you clarify these issues, maybe someone can help you

Problems connecting to Internet using Airport - can anyone help ?

I'm using a MacBook running OSX 10.4.11, trying to connect to internet using Airport. I connected OK first time, but after powering off the Mac, each time I now try to connect again, the Mac can't find the network. Network Diagnostics can't fix it either. I use a Linksys wireless router, connected to an ADSL modem. I use PPPoE. I live in Borneo, and the line connection is not great, occasionally the phone line drops out and then modem reconnects itself, I wonder whether this is causing some sort of problem with IP settings. The only way I can connect wirelessly is to start the Mac, reboot the modem, then the router, and plough through Network Diagnostics. A real pain. Help much appreciated.

I have a Linksys Wireless-G (model WRT54GS). This is working ok because I have two other wireless devices (internet radio and iPod touch) which connect fine. Firmware is up to date. I've done a bit more troubleshooting, and the the problem is connected with the phone line, which drops out all too regularly. Each time the phone line drops out, the Mac is unable to connect to the network wirelessly. After going through Network diagnostics, and rebooting the modem+router, it comes with a message saying "Network changes detected", and then I can reconnect OK. The funny thing is, the IPod touch can always reconnect no problem, even if the line has dropped out since the last login. Given that I've got a crappy phone line conection, is this normal or is there something wrong with my Mac settings ?

Can't connect to Internet using airport

I am trying to connect to internet wirelessly, using my Airport Extreme (802.11n), but it won't work. When I use the ethernet cable directly to my MacBook Pro (as I am now) internet comes fine. I have done many tests, change configuration, but nothing works. I really don't know what the problem is and what to do.
Thks for helping,
Marco

Just as an update, I have been able to reestablish connection by resetting the airport base.

Can't Connect to Internet using AirPort Extreme Card and DLink Router

I have tried just about everything, but I can't seem to connect my MAC OS X 10.3.9 to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme Card and no networks show up. I am trying to connect to my DLink router. I was told by DLink that it is compatible with AirPort Extreme cards, but the guys at Best Buy were unable to connect to their wireless routers, other than their Mac Router. Please let me know if you have a solution! Thanks

dannabee, Welcome to the discussion area!
What Mac do you have?
Do you have iMac G5 or a Power Mac G5?
Did you install the AirPort Extreme card yourself?

Cannot connect to internet using Airport

I am having difficulty connecting my new Airport express to the internet. Everything connects fine modem>Airport (WAN) and then back to my computer (LAN) and I get a green light on the Airport but when I open the safari browser it says I do not have an internet connection.

Hello mfort77. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It's always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle whenever you change network configurations.
Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

I cant connect to internet my AirPort Extreme

I have bought an AirPort Extreme and I have not been able to configure it, I have ignored 4 messages for my AirPort turn green, but you are unable to connect to the internet

One of those messages was probably that there was no WAN connection.
We cannot help you without INFORMATION.
As much as possible.
What modem do you have? Make and model can help? Also type of broadband if the modem is more general type?
How are you connected to the Airport? using wireless or ethernet? From a computer or iOS device? Which one using what version airport utility?
How is the Airport connected to the main modem / router?? This is the key one. It should be plugged by ethernet.. LAN modem to WAN Airport.
Give us full disclosure and we can work from there.

Windows laptop won't connect to internet using airport express connection

Hi. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I set up airport express on my imac g5 so I could share the internet with my windows laptop. I have a wireless notecard plugged into my laptop (802.11gg)--the laptop recognizes a wireless network with my imac no problem. I'm able to access the internet with my imac, but my laptop can't. I have a cable modem with the ethernet cable attached to airport express. I set up the wireless network using wep. Am I missing something? Please help! Thanks!

I had a similar issue this morning. My problem was my password. Apple will allow short passwords with wep encryption. Other manufacturer's don't.
"The multiplatform issue
Being an older protocol, WEP password treatment was not implemented uniformly by all wireless hardware and operating system manufacturers. Some products require users to enter relatively cryptic hexadecimal characters (four bits each), while others allow "plain language" password entry. A plain language password, like "apple", uses standard ASCII characters that are 8 bits each.
Products that allow plain language (ASCII) password entry may not force the network administrator to create 5- or 13-character passwords that would result in the required 40 (5*8) and 104 (13*8) bit-length passwords. Instead, they use a "hashing" routine to convert an odd-length password to the correct bit length. The multiplatform issue arises when the hashing results of products from two different manufacturers don't match each other. The resulting "network equivalent passwords," which are always given in hexadecimal format, are different."
In my case I made the password 13 characters long and everything works fine now.

Can't connect to Internet via Airport

I have a PPPOE ISP account. Before upgrade to Lepoard, just fine. Now I can only connect to internet using cable via my router moderm. I cannot connect my wireless router.
The wireless router will appear to be connected but it said self assigned IP. If I hardcode an IP eg. 192.168.11.2 to it. The Airport status will become connected but still cannot dial into my PPPOE account. An message no PPPOE service will appear. But if I plug in the LAN cable, everything work fine. Why this happen? My wireless router work fine with my Window XP and my Mac (before upgrade to Lepoard) What configuration should I change? I am an idot to networking. I have download all patch and has tried boot to safe mode etc.
Anyone can help?

By power downs do you mean Sleep?
One thing that might work is to set the IP to Static in Network>Configure IPv4>DHCP with Manual Address.

My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router

my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

Hi
My question is i am trying to connect to Internet using Ipad 2 WIFI version only. By using 30 pin connector connects to my Mac Mini. I thought this is supposed to work and able to connect to the internet, but it isn't happening.
I don't have WIFI access at this location so i need to connect to Internet by using Mac Mini as tethering.
Please help or advice.

You can create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network on your Mac Mini using the built in airport card and network sharing pane.
Provided that you Mac Mini is on this will broadcast a Wi-FI signal that you can you can now connect your iPad to.
Step by step
click on Apple menu and open System Preferences
Under Internet & Wireless click on the Sharing folder
In the left hand pane tick Internet sharing
In the right hand side where it says Share your connection from select Ethernet
Under To computers using tick Wi-Fi
Now click the Wi-Fi Options button
You are now going Add a name for your Wi-Fi Network (It will broadcast its SSID by default)
Select a channel select 6 or 11
Set a security level and password click ok. RIGHT DOWN THE PASSWORD !
Now go to your iPad .
Tap on Settings then Wifi and slide the Wifi button to on and allow iPad to scan for your network name.
When found tap on it and in the next window enter the password as written down.
You iPad will now be sharing the Mac Mini Internet and should allow you to use Safari/ e-mail etc......
All cable free as far as the iPad is concerned.

can anyone pls help if you have the solution

first of all,thank you for taking time to reply.

Time capsule cant connect to internet

My Time capsule has recently stopped working (yellow flashing light) when it cant assign an ip address. I checked Airport utilities and now it has no ip address and cant find dns server. The problem with losing ip address has happened before and was resolved by restarting the modem. I've tried another router and its fine so my modem is ok. This time my time capsule dont want to work with the modem. Its stuck and cant connect to internet. I've restarted the TC but it didnt help so now Im pretty clueless. Any advice woyld be appreciated.

Ok, when the simple stuff doesn't work you need a lot more analysis.
1. Plug a computer direct to the modem.. does the modem give you internet? (are we talking cable?? what internet?)
Once you clear the modem is working.. then the issue is purely the TC.
2. You didn't make clear if you followed the instructions I gave.. I want you to plug in the TC to a computer by ethernet. Lan port to the computer ethernet. Turn off wireless on the computer.. disconnect all other network connections on the TC. Press and hold reset until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Can you now access the TC?
If not it is likely dead ..
If you can make sure it is in router mode.. plug the modem into the TC wan port.. for cable you will have to power cycle the modem.. this can take a while.. 15min depending on your ISP.
Reboot everything.. and check if the TC has picked up a public IP on wan.. if not it has failed on wan side.
If the TC is dead.. or just as a means of testing.. get another router and plug it in. Substitution is the best test method.
Exactly how old and what model is the TC?
If it is Gen 3, A1355 try leaving it off overnight and restart the next day.. test immediately from cold. They have several board issues.
Or if the TC is newer and you have existing warranty or applecare let apple fix it.
