Connect to router but cannot connect to the internet

Hi, When you right click (mouse) the Wireless Network Connection, you can see "Repair". Select that one, and see what will happen. In "Status", Select Support, you should see your IP Address: 168.168.1.X, something like that, and that mean your PC obtains the IP from the router. .... Have fun !!

Connected to router but cannot get on the internet

Hi,
I have connected my sons laptop to home hub 3 and it is showing connected to router but when we try to connect toonternet we get error message,have tried connecting to lots of different web pages without any joy.
Laptop will connectto other wireless when we are not at home. Really not sure where we are going wrong.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Couple of things to check:
1) Are you using the wireless passkey that is on the Homehub label to log on with?
2) It could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
Select Start
In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP addres and DNS server address automatically.
Once done try and connect to internet.

OSX Server connects to router but dos not reach the internet

Sorry that i have no answer, but i'd like to add my problem as well.
I have a OSX Server witch is configured to an Airport Extreme. It is connected to the Router and dos all the sharing on the local network. But same as you describe it dos not connect to the Internet.
I checked my firewall options and it is set to allow all traffic.
I can ping the router but i don't get pings from pages on www !?
If anyone has an Idea where else i might look, i would be grateful for all advice..
Please drop me a mail on tj{at}daemgen.net
If anyone has a solution to the problem i will send an coupon for an Starbucks coffee in addition to my appreciation and thanks as i am looking since quite a while by now and it doesn't seem that i see what might cause the problem !!

There really isn't enough data to answer your question directly, but there are some things to check.
Being able to ping or serve data to the local network just means that the server has a working network connection, so that's a start, but to get to external sites it needs two things - first, a valid DNS server address that it can use to lookup hostnames, and it needs to know the address of the router on the network that provides an internet connection.
In this case you should check System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> Advanced and check the TCP/IP settings - make sure the Router (or 'Gateway') address is set to the address of your Airport Extreme. Then check the DNS setting to make sure you have a valid DNS server set.
If those are correct then you'll need to post back with more data, specifically what you do see/get when you try to access remote sites. What error messages do you get?
Oh, and while ping might be a good basic test, it isn't absolute - in other words, ping could fail, even when you can connect to a remote server, since pings could be blocked by a firewall or router at either end of the network.

Visual internet connection, but cannot get on the internet? Help:(

Hi people.
My wife bought me an Ipod touch. This is a long time ago, because I cannot use it with my wi-fi connection home. I took it with me to my parents, and it worked without any problems there. I took it with me to my place, and I got the same problems.
It says that I got connection and I have the Wi-fi connection icon, but I'm not connected to the net.
I've tried to connect many times. I've deleted and restarted the thing. I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169. I've tried to look at this discussion board, but haven't found any help.
I'm getting quite desperate, and I would like to get some help. Since I am quite a beginner, I would like a simple answer:) But any help will do great.
Thank you

I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

Connects to router but cannot send or receive data

I have a WRT54G. I can find the network and connect to the router, but I cannot send or receive any data. I tried plugging directly into the router and I am still unable to send or receive any data. Both computers on the router has the same problem. I did a reset of the router back to default settings and still no luck. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First thing which you can try is, when you Modem and Router is connected to each other, Unplug the Power from Router and Modem , wait for 30 seconds then plug the Power to the Modem and once all the lights are solid then plug the power to the Linksys Router, now check if you are able to go Online. If still not then ....
Who is your ISP. So i think you need to Re-configure all the settings on your router back again.

Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet

I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected. I have tried changing some of my settings but can only get as far as the message 'Cannot open page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' I also have the same problem with my Iphone and Ipod touch, I have never tried to sort these as don't need the internet on them. I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
Many thanks

What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
Please report what you see there.
Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

MacBook is connected to wifi but unable to surf the internet

I have a 1st generation white MacBook and I have been connected to my home wireless network for a few months now without any issues.
Today for the first time I took my MacBook to my friend's place to work on a project. I connected to his home wireless network, which was not password protected (hence I did not need to tweak any settings).
However upon returning home, I tried connecting to my home network and though I could surf the net, it was excruciatingly slow, much worse than a 56KB modem. Then suddenly without warning it stopped being able to surf the internet.
I have restarted my MacBook and my router several times. It can't be a problem with my home network as the other computers in the home (1 MacBook Pro, 1 Windows laptop, 1 netbook and 1 iPod Touch) can connect to the internet without any problem.
I tried going to System Preference>Network>Create New Location etc but it still doesn't work.
Can anyone offer a solution as to why I am facing this problem only after taking it to my friend's place? Could it be a virus or a corrupted network I connected to at my friend's?

I have just started having a similar problem.
I am using a free WiFi service at a local arts centre. I have used this service many, many times over the past few years and it works perfectly well. Until today. i turned on my MacBook and, as expected, it connected to the WiFi network perfectly. However, I could not connect to the internet. I tried with Chrome and Safari, I tried via iTunes and through mail, but nothing.
I know the WiFi is working, as there are other people around me using the network perfectly well, however I can't connect.
Not sure if this impacts it, but I am currently connected via a 3G dongle.
Can anyone please provide any assistance?
Thanks

Mac Mini (late 2012) connected to wireless but cannot connect to Internet

After the update to 10.8.3 the Mac Mini cannot connect to the internet, although it its connected to the router (wireless and/or by Ethernet cable) and the router has a stable and fast internet connection. My iPhone and my windows computer can connect to the internet perfectly at the same time via the same wifi-network and router.
This happens only after I updated the machine to 10.8.3, before that never happened!

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. How far do you get?

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch and it shows to be connected to WiFi but will not access the internet, please tell me what i can do, because i use this device for work and it make things difficult that it will not work now. Please help, thank you!

I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.

Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the internet. Airplay logo not available on ipad3, iPod touch3g and showing intermittently in iTunes on windows laptop. Switched ISP a few days ago. Entered pass key info on all.

I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?
Bob

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I just bought an ibook and connected to the internet via my router but do not know the commands to get to the internet?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
