Connected to network but unable to connect to the internet wirelessly
I recently installed a new hard drive in my dell inspirion e1405 laptop and I can no longer connect to the internet wirelessly using the WRT54G v2. When I use ethernet it works. It says I am connected to the network. I punched in the WEP key and I am connected. I power cycled my cable modem, laptop and router several times. I followed these linksys suggestions:
Checking the IP Address of the PC
Checking the Wireless Settings on a Linksys Router
Disabling Computer's Firewall
Disabling Proxy Settings
Pinging the Router
Pinging the Internet
and it still isn't working. I downloaded the firmware and that did not work. I am using XP MCE 2005. I updated the driver for my dell wireless card several times and also deleted it from the device manager and rebooted. Still nothing.
Anyone have an idea?
Well, hope this might help
make sure you only get IP from the router's DHCP. yes, you must set Obtain IP Address for all network adapter on your notebook (wired and wireless). the basic is, all things will be fine if this IP issue is not around. coz, at behind, they do something more than give / got IP, such as creating routing path automatically. that which will be guaranteed the success of ethernet communication for wired and wireless.
i cannot guess your problem, but you might want to do this.
first, as above said, just Obtain IP Address, make it for both adapter on your notebook
second, wireless security, must talk in same way (SSID, Channel, b/a/g/n) and use same key (WEP or WPA, passphrase/secret key).
third, if anyhow you got connected but still can't go through internet, but, you can ping or access your router, for example, open your router web server to do some change of the configuration, means your packet is stuck on the router and cannot deliver further to internet and it is gateway issue. no else.
well, three shots shall go but you might need more bullets coz this is called troubleshoot
let's see how it will go.
wish you luck

Yoga 2 Pro lits networks but unable to connect
I did a clean install of Windows 10 on my Yoga 2 Pro and though it can list off wireless network I am unable to connect to any of them. It simply says "Can't connect to this network". I have tried installing the Windows 10 drivers, uninstalling them, turning off wifi in the BIOS and turning it back on after a reboot. None of it works.
The driver indeed has been troublesome lately for that card one reads. Have a try, if the following gets it working:
rmmod iwlwifi
modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1
Then try to connect with your profile. -
My Macbook is connected to Wi-fi (four bars) but can't connect to the internet or any other services that requires internet. Other devices in my house have easily connected to the internet but every time I open Chrome it says: "This webpage is not available". What do I do?
Restart your internet modem and router and your Mac then try Safari etc.
If that doesn't help, try this DNS server ..
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:

Connected to network but can't connect to internet using wireless
Hi, I just installed a Linksys WRT 45G and can connect my pc and my laptop to it and use the internet fine when I use ethernet cable, but if I try to use my laptop wirelessly I can't connect to the internet. It says that I am connected to my network and that strength signal is excellent but no internet connection. I have that bluetooth button on the front of the laptop turned on. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with Centrino. I was told that I don't need to buy a wireless card as the Centrino already does this. Thanks in advance for your help.
I think you can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys

Connected to network but can't connect to internet
I'm connected to the network but I can't connect to the internet. The network is working fine since my Xbox live is working with no issues. Any ideas?
I recomend turning off the router and the modem that you have and then turning them back on.
If that doesn't work,
Open system preferences > Network
Go down to the bottom of the window and click Assist me
A drop down window will come up and you want to click Diagnostics
It will take you through the steps -
I can connect to network, but can't connect to internet with aebs
so i got a new Airport Extreme Base Station, hoping to replace my old og airport. i can connect to the new AEBS network easily, but i can't connect to the internet. with the old airport, i can connect to the internet no problem, hence i can write this post. "internet connect" tells me:
+old, space ship looking airport:+
connected to "myNetwork"
connected to the internet via ethernet
+new and improved AEBS:+
Connected to "myNetwork"
but that's it. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. oh also, it seems to be running pretty hot. is that normal? thanks!Hello mookyee. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It's always a good idea to power recycle all of your network components when changing 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." -
Macbook Pro connected to network but won't connect to internet
My Macbook Pro is connected to the wireless network we have with a full signal strength. However, it will not connect to the internet unless I plug the computer directly into the router with an ethernet cord. Additionally, I can connect wirelessly without any problems at hot spots or other houses.
Anyone have a simple fix? I've already reset Safari. I've restarted routers and modems. I don't know what else I can do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This happens a little too often.I think you trouble shot your problem. Get a new router.

[SOLVED] wireless card finds networks, but unable to connect
Hi,
I have a notebook with the wireless card "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000". According to this site, the drivers are part of the iwlwifi project, so it should be included in the kernel.
I installed wpa_supplicant and wireless_tools, and the interface wlan0 showed up:
# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 04:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 74:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
So, I configured my wifi-network without any encryption. I installed netcfg and copied /etc/network.d/examples/wireless-open to /etc/network.d/, changed the essid and enabled debugging:
DESCRIPTION='A simple opened wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='none'
ESSID='wrt'
IP='dhcp'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes
WPA_OPTS="-f/home/sigma/log"
then I did
# netcfg wireless-open
:: wireless-open up
> WPA Authentication/Association failed
The debug file of netcfg says:
Trying to authenticate with f4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='wrt' freq=2462 MHz)
Trying to authenticate withf4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='wrt' freq=2462 MHz)
Trying to authenticate with f4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='wrt' freq=2462 MHz)
So I tried another wifi usb card, which works fine. I used the same netcfg profile as before and just changed INTERFACE='wlan0' to INTERFACE='wlan1'.
The debug file says:
Trying to authenticate with f4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='wrt' freq=2462 MHz)
Trying to associate with f4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (SSID='wrt' freq=2462 MHz)
Associated with f4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to f4:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]
So, the settings seem to be fine, it's probably some problem with the driver or a missing module. Any kind of advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mac is connected to network but internet still won't work?
before chirstmas my internet was working perfectly fine, but it went down, like none of the familys laptops worked, the ipad didn't, none of the ipods, my mac or my iphone, since it was chirstmas we couldn't ring up to get it fixed.. however just after new year the router seemed just fine everything started working again expect for my mac, it says i'm connected to my wireless network but i can't access the internet, i've tried restarted my router countless times, it does nothing, i've tried to delete my network, i've tried deleting airport, nothing has worked.
fed up of having to hopspot with my iPhone it's costing me a bomb, as i'm a graphic design student at uni i need the internet:/Run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics (this is the program that gets offered to you when you try to connect to a web site in Safari when you are not connected to the internet. It's really hard to find -- seems to be invisible to spotlight -- so if you get it to launch from Safari you should save it in your dock.)
What you will probably see is that the first couple of lights are green (which is why it says you are "connected" to the wireless -- you are) and then the bottom 2 or 3 lights are yellow or red.
Follow the troubleshooting instructions in NetworkDiagnotics and you may just get things to work.
What I suspect is that you have no DNS, because your router isn't handing out DNS. To simply bypass that problem, go into your network preferences and hit the "Advanced" button and then the DNS tab, and add a manual DNS server. If your ISP has given you the address of a DNS server, use that one. Otherwise use 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 -- those are google's DNS servers. -
I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.
What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in. -
Can connect to network but not internet
In trying to secure my wireless network, I connect to my network, but I am unable to get to the internet with the wireless security enabled. I have no problems connecting over the wireless when I disable the security.
I have a linksys broadband router.
I use a Mac book with intel chip that I am trying to connect wirelessly. I also have an older imac that is connected directly to the router that I was trying to share files.
I was trying to setup WEP- I know very little about network protection. I have had a router for a couple of years and when I was trying to set it up so I could share iles I realized it was not protected. At the linksys website I had several options, but experienced the same problem (I had a strong network connection, but unable to connect to the internet) no matter which encryption option I chose.
The error meeaage says that is unable to connect
ThanksHi.
I assume that you have a linksys router plugged into an airport express.
First off, seeing as you have a macbook you should use WPA2 instead of WEP as it is more secure. You can select this option in the airport admin utility on the main page. Make up a password enter it and click apply. The express will update. Then, when you select your network from the airport icon on the top of your screen it will prompt you to choose the type of security on the network (which will be WPA2 and after selecting this it will then propmt you to enter the password. Enter the password again (checking the keychain box as well) and this should be it. -
Just got comcast triple play. Original ipad sees network but will not connect.
Just got comcast triple play. Original ipad sees network but will not connect.
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
