Connected to wifi but can't access

what's wrong with my iphone connected to wifi but i can't access the internet? while my friend's ipod touch and ipad1 they can access the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod and attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., router make/model, wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
Does your iPhone connect to any WiFi network?

Connected to wifi but can't access internet

My MacBook connects to the internet through wifi, but ipod, iphone and ipad only connect. Even though the bars are there indicating connection, I can't access the internet on any of the 3 devices. When I reset the router it the devices can access the Internet for a while, but then i lose access again. Hmmm?

We got our son's working yesterday. It didn't dawn on me until many hours later that I kept giving the router password instead of the Hex key for the I-touch password Entry. We had to supply the Hex Key. We use WEP as a security mode and both password and Hex key are in Hexidecimal format. I hope this helps you and saves you many hours of headaches.

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

My apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari and other websites..can some1 help me out?

my apple 5th gen ipod is connected to wifi but still cannot access safari,itunes and other websites. the ip address is not strtng wid 169 and i have reset the network settings also..can some one help me out

The 169 IP address mans it did not correctly negotiate with the router:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

We have the itouch hooked up to wifi but can't access email

we have the itouch hooked up to wifi but can't access email or app store - is there a router setting (which is an open system, no passwords or log in needed) we need to address? We can successfully use safari, but anything with a password seemigly is no go. This is using a new iTouch 8G that I bought for my Mom yesterday.

We got our son's working yesterday. It didn't dawn on me until many hours later that I kept giving the router password instead of the Hex key for the I-touch password Entry. We had to supply the Hex Key. We use WEP as a security mode and both password and Hex key are in Hexidecimal format. I hope this helps you and saves you many hours of headaches.

Can connect to WLAN, but can't access any web site...

I have a Nokia E61 that I have configured to access my wirless home network (Linksys). I use personal WPA security, and my SSID is hidden. I loaded the proper settings into an access point setting and when I go to Web, the phone shows that it connects to my Linksys router, but the web page never loads. I eventually get a time out error. If I connect to the same website using GPRS, it loads without any problem.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply!
I have looked at my RV082's firewall setup, but don't see anything out of the ordinary. I even disabled the firewall, but it didn't seem to make any difference. What did you have in mind that I should check?
I get the following error on the E61 when I try to access an Internet website: "Web: Connection Time Out". It takes about a minute or two for the E61 to generate that error.
Regarding the RV082's ability to assign devices to the right subnet, I have three other PCs on my network (2x Windows XP, 1x Windows 98SE), and they have always connected the first time and every time with no issue. How would I check which subnet the RV082 is assigning to the phone? On a PC, I usually do an "ipconfig /all" at the command line and see what's assigned. Is there an equivalent command for the E61 that I could enter while I'm connected?
If I remove the RV082 and plug my WAP54G directly into my cable modem, then my E61 can access the Internet. So it's definitely an incompatiblity with the settings in the RV082 and the E61. But before I/we blame the RV082, I have more or less the same problem at my employer's office: I can connect to the office network, but can't access any sites outside the company network. The only difference is the E61's error message: at work I get a "no gateway response" error within a few seconds. It's a company with around 200 employees at that site, and we're certainly not using an RV082 in the office. I have not tried to call Linksys support yet because in fairness to them, they won't know jack s*** about the E61 and how to configure/check the settings.
Is there something about the DNS settings in the E61 that I'm setting incorrectly? I have them set to Automatic in both IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which is how my PCs are setup at home and what my IT guy at work tells me should be OK.
Thanks in advance for any more advice!
BTW, I'm no big fan of Linkys either, but I've had zero problems with my Linksys products. Also, when I have had to contact Linksys for help with a setup, they have always eventually come through and solved the problem. I've tried contacting Nokia and can't even get a live person that can do anything (the E61 isn't supported by Nokia USA, and the UK phone number they gave me was just a recording). If anything, I'm ready to hurl my E61 through the window right now as I've spent way too many hours trying to get this thing to work.

MacBook Air connects to WiFi but can't connect to internet for about 5 minutes

I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite and whenever I wake it from sleep or turn it on it says it's connected to wifi, but it's usually about 5 minutes before anything will load.
• Happens on multiple wifi networks
• and doesn't happen to other devices on those networks
• Been going on for ages (since Mavericks)
• Diagnostics says nothing's wrong
• Still happens on other users and in safe mode.
Does this happen to anyone else / does anybody know a way around it?

Hi jamang1999,
For that specific issues where you are connected to the internet after waking your MacBook Air up from sleep and it is not connecting to the internet, then take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. There is a section called Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet and go through those troubleshooting steps to see if it continues afterwards. I know that the troubleshooting is for OS X lion and previous version of OS X but the troubleshooting is still relevant. If it does not work and are still experiencing issues, then you may need to contact Apple for additional support.

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.

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?

Can connect to router but can't access internet on some devices

Hello everyone,
I'm fairly good with comptuers / networking but this issue has me baffled. Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a linksys router (WRK54G) and have 2 desktops and 2 laptops connected to it wirelessly at the moment. I bought 3 smart phones (AT&T Tilts) and a new laptop recently. I don't use encryption but I do have MAC address filtering enabled.
The issue is that 1 of the smart phones can connect to the network and the internet, but the other 2 phones and the laptop can connect to the network but not the internet.
I did add their MAC addresses to the "allow" list ofcourse, which is why they're able to connect to the internet. DHCP is enabled, and these devices get an IP address. I can see them as connected when i log in to my router as well through one of my other computers (I see the MAC address and the IP assigned to those devices) so I know they're properly connected to the network. However, when i try to pull up a website (using either its ip or its domain name), the devices try to open up the page but eventually give me a "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost" on the pocket PCs, and a generic "page cannot be found" on the laptop. I don't see these requests in the outgoing log table of the router either... I'm supposed to see them as when i use one of my desktops, I can see which site was accessed by which IP.
So basically, the requests from 2 smart phones and 1 laptop aren't even getting to the router apparently. What could be wrong? These devices can access the internet on other routers elsewhere at my workplace or at wi-fi spots.. just not at home, which is a major inconvenience. Why would the router be stopping some devices from connecting to the internet and allowing others? I know it's not a setting in the devices as it can access the internet through other wi-fi spots elsewhere..
Help will be truly appreciated.

Hi, I'm just getting up to speed on wireless but here's some info. Don't have a clue for your phones tho.
If you can connect to your network and talk to each other but can't connect to the internet, then it's an "Authorization" problem. I'ts not a Router "hardware" problem because your other equipment can connect to the internet (modem). It's not a Wireless card "hardware" problem on your laptop because you can connect to your network (router).
You say the Router sees the laptop/phones IP#'s but, do you see the IP#'s ON the computer/phones that can't get online? The Router sees them but do they see the Router?
The computers can talk to each other because your using the "Switched hub"(and wireless) part of the Router. I't doesnt do any translating, it just tells computer 1 that computer 2 want's to talk to it.
Is the Shared Key enabled on one and not the others?(Router menu)
If you can connect at work but not at home then again it's an Authorization problem. You have the right password, setup, etc, for work but not at home. "Hotspots" have no encryption so any one can connect. Do you have the home Router set up as WEP and and Work as WPA? Does your other laptop connect at work also? Do you have a mixed B,G,N band system at home. The Router has to be set at the band your using or have it set for mixed. If it's set for "G" only then any items that have B"or"N" won't be able to talk to it. If i go to a wireless motel thats next to a truck stop and a wireless Cafe, i can "SEE" a good half dozen "networks". I can even connect to a few of them, but, i can't get online because i don't have the password, etc..
Well one more kinda, sorta, possibility, did you lower the "Maximum number of DHCP Users" count to 4 (Router menu) and forget to raise it to 8 or what ever you have now? If you only had 3 computers on, then the Router would only hand out one more IP# so the other phones and laptop wouldn't get any more. It's defaulted to like, 20+ or so, so probably unlikely.
The First phone seems to be the magic bullet. My only suggestion would be to double check the settings and compare everything. You have got to be close.
I hope this get's you nearer,,

Connected to wifi but can't stay connected to internet

I currently have a curve 9300, and my service provider is Telus Mobility. I am connected to wifi and up till about 3 days ago everything was working fine, now it shows I am connected, but I can only get on internet for about 5 mins, I have to shut off all my connections then reconnect them for it to work again. Any ideas as to the problem?

OK...then, with your WiFi radio OFF (e.g., solely running on your carrier data network), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!
If not, then I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, does the behavior still present? If not, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
If the behavior does still present in Safe Mode, then you may want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
Good luck!

My ipod touch connects to wifi but can't connect to the server.

Ok, so my ipod youch says it's connected to the wifi but when i try to get on the internet it says it can't connect to the server. I've looked and there's alot of answers but they're all soooooooooooooo complicated. I'm like 14, so whoever can answer this, please use small words.
I've noticed in alot of the answers they talk about your IP adress, if it's any consilation mine starts with 169. No matter where I go, if it's at home, or at starbucks or a hotel.
Thanks for your time

Have you tried restoring your iPod touch in iTunes?
You may just be trying to connect to "Printer Networks" that allow a company/residence to print something from their printer wirelessly, it would appear on your iPod touch just about the same as any other network, but you wouldn't be able to use internet while connected to that network...
If you are talking about "free wifi" in a Cafe, like Starbucks, you will usually need to open Safari. A Page will load and tell you how to connect to their internet, whether it's by paying, or just agreeing to their terms...
Like, I said, if that isn't the problem, try restoring your iPod touch in iTunes...
