  • Connected to access point but internet cannot be found????

    router was working fine until it wasnt finding internet one nite and then it was unplugged so internet could be used on main computer and now when i try to plug everything back up to get wireless internet, it still says connected to access point but internet not found dont have a clue what is going on!?!

    I think you were connecting to wireless router to access Internet, you need to have proper configuration on wireless router and wireless adapter to make it work, take a look on this wireless network setup tutorial to help you.

  • LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

    I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

    Is your wireless network secured?
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Internet cannot be found on one pc

    I am having issues connecting one of my PCs to the internet.  Up until a week ago, it was always connected and worked fine.  Its my sisters pc, so I have no idea what she has done to it, but it suddenly wouldnt connect anymore.  I have 4 pcs, 2 360s and a ps3 that all connect fine, but this computer gives me the message:  YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE ACCESS POINT BUT THE INTERNET CANNOT BE FOUND.
    I have flashed the bios on my router (WRT54GX with SRX v1) and I have downloaded the latest drivers for my network adaptors.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers.  (WMP54gx4 with srx).  I know the hardware is good, as I have exchanged it with other machines that work fine, and they run with the hardware currently in the PC. 
    I am by no means smart enough to go beyond what I have tried.  Any suggestions?
    Scott

    I am also having this problem...
    I have 3 desktops and a laptop.
    MY Desktop is hooked up to the router (WRT54GS), my wife's is wireless with its adapter, we have a spare computer in the basement which is wireless and then my old Dell Laptop is wireless.
    Up until yesterday (Friday) it all worked fine.  Then all of a sudden the other two desktops are not working.  The laptop still works but the desktops will not.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Error Message: "The internet cannot be found"

    I have successfully installed and configured a WRT54G2 wireless router on my primary PC running Windows Vista.  I have also successfully installed and configured a WUSB54GC adapter on a older second PC running Windows/ME with 256mb of memory.
    With the help of Linksys Tech Support, I have sync'd my router with the Adapter.  I get the message: "You are connected to the Access point, but the internet cannot be found".  The second PC continues to cycle attempting to access the internet, without any success.
    I would appreciate any suggestions regarding solving this final step to the internet.  Soooo close, yet so far away.  Thanks in advance for any help or ideas...
    Solved!

    Sounds like you have a conflict between your ethernet connection and your wireless.  Even though you do not have a cable between computer and router, it is still on.  You will have to look in your help section on how to disable lan.  I had the same problem with my old pentium 1 running win98se.

  • Access point 'internet'

    Today i bought a nokia E5
    i tried to change the settings but now i'm facing a problem
    i cannot delete the access point 'internet' (mobile data internet) it says 'access point in use, can not edit'
    is there a way to delete this point (as i dont want my cellphone to connect to mobile internet, (only wifi)
    greetings 

    First off all i don't suggest to play online games on wireless since as we all know wireless is such an unstable media for connection.
    Can you tell me the distance between the computer and the router. Also what is in the direct environment of the network.
    Are you using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. This device is can cause intermittent internet connection on wireless networks
    we still have to isolate the problem just in case something else is causing your problem.

    Hi... it seems that your Wireless adapter on does get a IP address or DNS no after reboot. Try assigning a Static IP address and DNS on the Wireless Adapter. Also try to update the drivers for that wireless adapter.

  • Can't connect to Access Point that is connected to the Internet (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

    Hi all,
    I am normally not someone who posts on support forums since most of the problems can be solved be searching through piles of other questions, but this things has really got me pulling out my hair and I hope that maybe someone can help me with this super weird problem.
    So, a few weeks back, my Mac Mini (kind of old, guessing 2007) stopped connecting to Wireless networks. Since all other devices in home (iPhone, MacBook Pro and a PC) are connecting just fine I thought it had to do with my settings. All it says is: "connection timeout".
    The Mac Mini connects just fine when I plug in an ethernet cable, but that's a no go since I don't want cables laying around our living room that much.
    I tried a lot of things suggested my other people like removing settings, PRAM reset, moving the AP closer, router settings etc etc. Of no avail. Even tried to fix it by reinstalling Snow Leopard, but that didn't do it either.
    Though when I turned my MBP into an Access Point it could connect to that network just fine. That made me wonder if it's my router, but once I plug in an ethernet cable into my MBP to share Internet access it won't connect! Tried the same with my router and indeed, it connects just fine once it has no Internet connection.
    Tried searching for people that had the same problem, but I couldn't find them. Can anybody here help?
    TLDR; Mac won't connect to Wireless network that has an internet connection, but does when it hasn't.
    Thanks!

    Try disconnecting the router from the internet (WAN port) and plugging a PC directly into one of the LAN ports. After resetting, ignore the smartwifi login, click the two checkboxes, and login manually/directly with the "admin" password and reconfigure.
    If you don't want to do all that just yet, try accessing the router from the public IP address assigned by your ISP. That might work

  • Access point --- Internet losing connection every 5 minutes....

    i have a wrt54g v6 router and a wmp54g both current drivers and firmware from the linksys website. i am frequently losing connection between router and internet. i've lowered my mtu, i've forwarded ports, reinstalled card in all 4 pci slots, i've literally done everything i know possible to do. i sat on the phone for 4 hours waiting on a linksys technician before my phone died friday trying to get ahold of someone for some help. resetting the router doesn't seem to help at all. the connection loss time is random aswell. sometimes it's for minutes sometimes it's for 10 seconds, but when you're playing online games that's all it takes to disconnect you. i've been going absolutely crazy trying to fix this so if anyone has any idea's i would be ever so greatful.

  • Connect Netgear access point to Home Hub?

    Before I switched to using a Home Hub 2, I was using a Netgear router/modem (DG834G). 
    And I also had a Netgear WPN802 access point connected to the DG834G router/modem (via ethernet cable), and this enabled me to connect to internet using wifi from another location in my house.  Just seemed to work.
    But I can't seem to get this to work with the Home Hub.  When the access point is plugged in to the Home Hub, it doesn't seem to show up in the Devices part of the Home Hub, and I can't connect to the access point via its default IP address (192.168.0.231).  I can't see anything in the Home Hub to configure to make this work.  On the access point, the ethernet light is lit, which suggests that it can "see" something on the other end of the cable (and the light goes out when I unplug the other end from the Home Hub).
    Any hints?
    Thanks.

    You will need to change the default IP address of the Netgear WPN802 so that it is in the same subnet as the home hub.
    The full details on how to do this are here http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn_802_ref_manual.pdf
    Look at page 23 and change the IP address in the Basic settings.
    You could change it to 192.168.1.231 if you wish. It would still not show on the home hub because it is manually assigned. But it should work fine.
    I have an additional Belkin wireless access point on my hub, which uses the address 192.168.1.200, and that works fine.

  • Netctl connects to access points I've never seen before

    On my laptop using netcl and auto switching profiles as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl.
    Recently, and more than once, I'm connected at a public cafe and I'm suddenly no longer able to reach the internet.
    When I investigate, I find that I'm no longer connected to the cafe's wifi, but I am connected to some other essid that I've never seen before.  This is disconcerting for possible security reasons but also annoying to get disconnected in the middle of whatever I'm doing.
    The essids that my box connects to I've never seen before.  (I'm assuming the come from nearby computers.)  There is no corresponding profile in /etc/netctl.
    To work around the problem, I run
    sudo systemctl stop [email protected]; sudo wifi-menu
    then reconnect to the access point I was originally connected to.
      I really don't want netctl-auto to change a connection that is working.  How can I prevent this from ever happening?

    That file has a long list of every wireless router I've connected to!  I didn't know that was there.  It duplicates a lot of information thats in /etc/netctl/...   It has passwords, too.  I'm not going to post it here.
    But I don't see the mysterious routers in that file.  The ones I find myself connected to, that I never connected to myself.
    ... Looking over that file again, I see a strange entry:
    network={
    key_mgmt=NONE
    ssid=""
    id_str="wlp3s0-none"
    I'm going to delete that.  I believe it comes from a time I connected to an essid without a name.  But I'm not sure if that's the culprit.

  • No connection to access point

    I have installed the range expander (v.2) using the automatic method and get the proper blue lights. My distant PC indicated a very strong signal witth the correct SSID but says "cannot contact with the access point".
    I have set my router to include the 192.168.1.240 address in its range. It shows two wireless connections, the first one being my laptop at 192.168.1.21 but only assigns this one IP which is for the laptop, the range expander is recognized as a secind wireless unit but does not have an IP indicated by the router. As all else is normal I suspect this is the missing link. How do I get it to assign an IP?

    You can do one thing connect back the Laptop to the Range Extender .. open setup page ..of range extender ... use static Ip 192.168.1.240 ..subnet 255.255.255.0 ..with gateway 192.168.1.1(Router Ip address)...click save settings ... Power cycle the network ... try to ping the Ip of the range extender from wired computer to the router ... if getting replies ....keep the range extender in such a place where you are getting low signal strength from the router itself .... so that the range extender will get connection from router. .. keep the laptop on the range of WRE54G .... so that it will only take connection from RE ...not directly from Router ... Also check the Ip address on the Laptop .... See if it works...

  • No AirPlay when connected through access point

    I have my wireless setup with a main router in one room and another router (a DIR615) in another room setup as an access point.
    I have an Apple TV 2. gen which is hooked up by ethernet.
    Everytime Im connected wirelessly through the main router, AirPlay works fine, by when Im connected through the DIR615 (the access point), theres no AirPlay.
    When Im on the access point everything else seem to work fine - only thing thats missing is AirPlay. Oh and Remote has the same issue.
    The DIR615 has an option called "Use as access point" which I turned on. Then I set it to broadcast the same SSID as the main router with the same password. Is that wrong set up?
    I can access my other device like my NAS with no problems through both the main router and the access point.

    I have noticed a similar issue.
    Years ago, I extended my original wired network with an Airport Express (AE) acting as a bridged access point. When I got my iPod Touch, I noticed that the AE would go out to lunch occasionally if the WiFi on the Touch was on. But when the AE was functioning correctly, I could do AirPlay from the Touch to the AE.
    With the addition of an iPhone and another Touch in the house, the AE was becoming more flaky, so I bought an access point product from Trendnet. This device bridges another wireless network to the same IP subnet (192.168.1.0/24) as the wired and AE wireless network, but it is a different wireless network (SSID) from the AE wireless.  This allows me to configure the handheld devices to only connect to the Trendnet. Now the AE no longer crashes. (Pretty ironic that I need to buy a non-Apple device to get it to work...).
    However, I do not get the AirPlay icon when a handheld is connected to the Trendnet network.  I just tried connecting one of the Touches to the AE wireless and when I do, voila, I do get the AirPlay icon.
    Theoretically, the path taken to the AE from the handheld shouldn't matter, but it looks like Apple engineered it so that it does. Maybe AirPlay doesn't run over IP??  It is disappointing and I hope it gets fixed.

  • WRT610N - Both laptops lose connection to access point intermittently

    I've tried searching the forums a little but don't see my exact issue.
    I have a WRT610N and two laptops (one Windows7 connected over N 5ghz and the other XP connecting over A 5ghz). From time to time, but at least twice a day, especially when doing a heavy download or streaming media, the laptop connection to the access point will be dropped.  I have to disconnect from the wireless network and reconnect.
    I verified that I was running the latest firmware.  I never had to upgrade, was shipped with 2.00.00.05. THe 5ghz network uses WPA2 security and I tried switching from AES only to TKIP and AES.  I also tried changing the key renewal interval.  One laptop has a DHCP reservation and the other is allowed to get whatever IP.  20 or 40 Mhtz channel width is set to auto.
    If anyone has any ideas of things to try before I go return the thing I would appreciate it.
