Devices unable to connect to internet, although connected to wireless

I have a new iPad2 and a Kindle fire that I am trying to connect to my home's wi-fi. They seem to connect to the wireless network, but they are not able to connect to the internet. I have tried Apple and Kindle forums and they all suggest rebooting the router, changing various settings on the router, and I believe I tried them all. I have 2 laptops connected to the wi-fi with no issues at all. Any suggestions? I find it odd that both devices are having issue so assume it has something to do with my router. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got it to work! Here is what I did, posting because I have seen so many others with the same issue.. Many of the suggestions were right on, I was just not sure how to completely change the router. So, from my Wireless Broadband Router Manager go to Wireless settings.
Basic Security Settings - choose Advanced (WPA/WPA2, 802.1x)
Then go to Advanced Security Settings - choose WPA/WPA2
This will open another page where you create a new encryption key for your wireless.
I stopped at the ADVANCED security section because it messaged that changes should only be made here by an advanced technical user. I did not really fit that so was nervous to modify the settings. That was where it was all hiding though.
Thanks again to all of you for your help.

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.

Installing new printer, getting error msg saying HP printer unable to connect to wireless router. MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.
SOLUTION says: If MAC address filtering is enabled and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the MAC addressof your printer to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing.
My router is WD My Net N900 Router. MAC filtering is diabled. My security mode is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I have run out of ideas to try and fix the issues, would appreciate some help.
Thanks,

Hi Jamshidk
I am surprised you are getting that message and you checked the router settings and it is showing that the Mac Filtering is disabled.
I would suggest connecting the printer to the router with a ethernet cable to get a valid IP address and then setup the wireless.
Print a configuration report.

Type the IP address from the configuration page in the address bar into internet explorer browser. This will open the embedded web server for the printer. Click on the Networking tab, on the left hand side select wireless. After this is setup and applied, disconnect the ethernet cable.
Should be on the wireless network. Takes about 1 minute.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to start, devices and printers and select add a printer. (Win 7)
Test the printer.
If you need more assistance just let me know.

IPod Touch unable to connect to wireless network.

I just got an iPod Touch 4 for my birthday (w00t), however I cannot seem to get it to connect to my wireless router. Everytime I try, it says Unable to connect to network. I reset the routers password, but it didn't do anything. I saw in other threads people said to switch ti WPA security, but mine is already set as WPA Personal. I'm not sure what to do! Please help!

NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice. My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet. I will check the article referred to.

Unable to connect to wireless network

I am unable to connect to my wireless network with my MacBook.
I have no trouble connecting with my windows PC. I have double checked the WEP key and checked that I am using the correct key type (128 bit hex). There is no MAC address access control on the network and DHCP is available.
All I get is a message saying 'There was an error joining the AirPort network "network-name"' and two buttons: 'Try again' (which produces the same error) and 'OK'.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Pro 15" 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
I'm also having this problem of not being able to connect to a wireless network. However, I'm in Spain and have my MacBook. I was able to connect to the wireless network with no problem for about 5 days' and then access stopped. I get the same password edit saying the network does not recognise the pw. I've tried all the proposed solutions described in this thread: entering the data manually, using a $ or " sign and to no avail.
The airport symbol is grayed out. However, when I open internet connection to join the network, 15 other networks including my own show up, so I believe the airport card is working okay. (everyone seems to have WiFi in the area).
Does anyone know if there is something peculiar to Europe I need to do in order to gain wireless access again ? I know the broadcast chanels are 1-13 vs 1-11 in the US. But I don't think this is a problem since I had access for a time.
Any info welcome. Sorry if I'm threadjacking here but I don't see where to start a new topic. The network is fine as I'm connecting using an ethernet cable.
Thanks in advance,
J.

Iphone 4 IOS5 unable to connect to wireless network.

I am unable to connect my iphone4 IOS5 to wireless network at home. It was working fine before upgrade the IOS.

Most routers have this problem; the DHCP daemon that assigns IP addresses quits for some reason, so devices that already have an IP address continue to work (until their lease time expires) but new devices don't get an IP address and thus cannot connect.

WRT54GC : unable to connect to wireless network

I have a WRT54GC ver 1 router and I am unable to connect to my wireless network. The problem is I dont see my wireless netwrok in the "list of available networks". I see all my neighbour's networks, but not mine.
I have upgraded the firmware to v1.05.7 and that hasnt helped either. I am able to connect to the internet through the ethernet though.
Multiple chat sessions with linksys customer service havent helped. Has anybody faced such an issue before?

Reset the router for 20-30 seconds ........ while holding the reset unplug the power cable of router ....... wait for 10 seconds ........ plug back the power cable & release the reset ........
See if it shows your home network or not ......

Photosmart 6510 unable to connect to wireless network.

The wireless icon on my printer indicated "Not Connected" and showed this information
IP Address: No Link
Network Name: N/A
MAC: A0:B3:CC:12:3A:07
When running the Wireless Setup Wizard and selecting the internet network my computer is currently connected to, it then said that it was "Unable to connect to network. Unsupported authentication or encryption type." I ran a wireless network test and next to "Network Name (SSID) Found" is says "FAIL". If you need more information that can be found on the netork test results I will be happy to give you them. I do not have access to the router as I am currently at my university. It is a secured network so I'm thinking this is where the problem is coming from. Also, whenever I try to type in my IP address into my URL bar the page is not found. Any suggestions? Or am I just going to have to purchase a USB cable?

Here's other information from my Wireless Network Test Results.

Unable to connect via wireless, printer is online.

I am using a Photosmart plus 209a via wireless. There are 3 notebooks connected. 2 will print but my Dell Studio (Win 7 Pro) will not. It was previously connected but now unable to connect. I have uninstalled all components using level 3 twice. Have used the Print/Scan tool. Downloaded the full SW package and the Basic driver SW. I process a job and it gets to the spooler and then "print job failed". I can view the control panel via IP address. I can view network settings and print wireless test page through HP Solution Center. Why am I unable to connect? I was able to use via USB but this is not an option.

It sounds like there is something different on the Dell Studio since it works from two other computers on the same network as the Dell Studio. It also sounds like you are able to access the EWS of the printer by using its IP address.
Are there any other errors messages regarding the printer? If so, what are they?
Is there a third party firewall installed (e.g. Norton, Kasperksy, BitDefender, etc.)?
Is this Windows 7 Professional 32bit or 64bit?

Suddenly unable to connect to wireless network...exhausted all fixes

I’ve got an odd problem with my two-week old MacBook Pro and its connection to my wireless network. I’ve done what I think is pretty exhaustive troubleshooting, but remain baffled. Here’s the story.
This morning I connected to my wireless network (DSL 2WIRE modem/router) with no problem. This afternoon I returned and Airport refused to connect, giving me the error message, “Airport is unable to connect to the wireless network…” The network shows up as being available, but when I attempt to connect, it wont. (I didn’t make any changes or install any programs this morning).
Here’s what I’ve done:
[1] Restarted the router
[2] Repaired permissions
[3] Deleted the network’s entry in Keychain Access
[4] Re-entered my WEP code (assuring it is in correctly; I’ve tried both with the “$” and without)
[5] Used interface robustness and without.
[6] Attempted to join the network from the System Preferences>Network.Airport route.
[7] Created a new account and tried connecting.
Other tidbits of information:
[1] Another MacBook in the house connects to the network with no problem.
[2] My MacBook can connect to another (unsecured) network that I can “see” in my house.
So, it would seem my Airport card is working okay.
Any ideas??

Some more info (in case anyone is listening...)
I tried turning off the WEP code and could connect. (Since I share files on my home network, this isn't a "solution").
I also tried Resetting the MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC)(See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319). I did this (I think -- there wasn't any indication that the reset "took"), but alas -- no luck.
I gave Apple Care a call, but the support guy, while courteous and all, didn't have anything to offer other than telling me to take it in to an Apple Store for a repair (clearly it isn't a hardware issue).
Heeellllppppp!

Unable to connect to wireless network after software update

on updating the software on my Ipad 3 I am unable to connect to my office wireless network

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Hi colleenmercy,
On the network menu, select Restore Network Defaults. This will clear the current network settings and allow you to reconnect the printer to the network. You can use the wireless setup wizard or reinstall the HP software to reconnect.

Mac Mini unable to connect to wireless

Hello there,
I have a 1.66ghz Mac Mini with OSX 10.4.11
I am trying to connect to my wireless router but am having some difficulty. The Airport can see my router in the menu, and when I enter the password, it processes for about 30 seconds then says "There was an error joining the AirPort network".
I know the connection works, because I am using it right now on my macbook with Leopard 10.5.6.
I am using a Netgear wireless router model no. WGT624
Apparently the connection works when I connect via ethernet.
Any help would be much appreciated.

There is no need to upgrade to MacOS 10.5 to resolve this - MacOS 10.4.x was perfectly capable of connecting to wireless routers, and there are untold numbers of Macs running various versions of Tiger which are used daily on wifi.
Most issues with connection failures of this sort are caused by issues with security. As such, a good place to start is to temporarily disable your router's wifi security so that it is an open network, and then try and connect with the mini. If it fails then, you know it's an issue with the mini and signal quality because your MacBook connects OK (thus the router is working correctly). In that case you could obtain a copy of AP Grapher (http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/apgrapher/) on the mini (after connecting it via ethernet which you say works) and looking at the wifi signal the mini is seeing - it seems likely at that point you'll find the signal is low, or rather variable, or the trace for noise is high, meaning there is significant interference. This can create a situation where the system can 'see' the router via wifi, but fails to connect due to time out errors.
If it the mini connects with the security off, then the issue is the type of security or perhaps that the password is not being entered correctly.

TS1398 Unable to use the internet although it's already connected

i did all the things above, but i still can't use the internet. it is connected my house's wifi, but it says "safari could not open page because the server stopped responding."

Do ther devices successfully connect to your network?
Have you tried changing the security used on the router? I would try with no security as a test.
Does the iPOd successfully connect to other networks?
Wehn you go to Settings>wifi> when IP address is assigned to the iPod?
