Enabled security on network, now other 2 computers can't access internet

I enabled security by entering a 10 digit number in the WEP key 1 slot. My other 2 computers then lost connection (no internet access). I tried to disable the security(by clicking disable under the security tab) but although the 2 computers say they are now connected, I cannot access the internet. I just want to get back where I started from. Thanks for your help.

We're back on track here. All I had to do is reset the router, then reboot each computer.

New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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 the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network... now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.

How many computers can take wireless internet from a MBP?

Hello guys, my MBP takes the internet wiredly. Temporarily there's no router in place and my flatmates don't have internet so I've enabled the internet sharing (System Preferences>Sharing>Internet) and have seen that one computer at a single time has connected to mine. I'm just wondering now how many computers can connect, wirelessly, simultaneously to a MBP. Does anyone know?
Thank you.
MBP 15in 2.33GHz. Mac OS X (10.4.9) other 200+ posts with the old Discussion Forums (now lost)

I am not quite sure I understand your question, but I
think the answer you are looking for is ten.
Generally, any wireless hot spot can support up to
ten connections at a time. I am not sure, but I don't
think it matters if its a dedicated wi-fi router or a
computer that's sharing a networked connection.
A limit of 10 is impossible as a general rule, because of all the places around the world that serve more than 10 customers with wifi from a single, generic brand access point behind the counter.
I see from Apple's specs that the little AirPort Express does have a limit of 10, but the AirPort Extreme stations support up to 50 users. Other brands support even more.
There is probably a low limit on the number of users that can be connected to a computer sharing Internet, and it very well could be 10 in that specific case. Apple's documentation doesn't say.

3. Microsoft router MN-500:
Tried this old router (the one I used before purchasing the LinkSys). It is an old (circa 2002) Wireless B base station with WEP Security. The iPhone was never able to connect to the Internet using various settings, many of which were duplicates of the LinkSys tests above.
On both routers my wife's Dell laptop and my HP printer connect without incident, using the same network/security settings.
I have always been able to connect to various unsecured WiFi networks; I have never been able to connect to a secure WiFi network (although the only one I've really tried has been my own).
I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

SUCCESS!!!!!
I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
SUCCESS!!!
Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

How can i share my network from timecapsule to other devices. The thing is i can use access internet from my macbook only.

I have recently got a Time Capsule with my Macbook pro retina 15". I am trying to setup my time capsule as a wifi station at my home. But the thing is I can only access wifi from my lap only.
How can I share my network from timecapsule to other devices, and im using OS X 10.8.2
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
(sorry for the bad english)

How is the TC currently connected into the network?
It should work fine in bridge and create a wireless network.. it should already be able to share the network without being the main router.
Setting up wireless from wireless is difficult.
I would recommend you buy the USB to ethernet cable Apple sell as an accessory for Air and MBPr so you can actually use ethernet when required.

New PC laptop - can get on Airport Network but can't access internet

Just got a new HP laptop for real estate reasons (MLS is only available through a PC).
All of my other computers are Macs and my wireless network is on a Airport Basestation.
I can access the network with the PC but can't get on the internet even though I'm on the network.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, you have a completely different situation than that of the Originator of this post. In your case, you're using your Mac as a software base station and not a wireless router.
The following would be the setup steps...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac > (wireless) > PC
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start

WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
First the techincal details:
OS for all machines = Windows XP
Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all). I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired.
Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution? Thanks.

A new discovery...
When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet. So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled).
I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Laptop connects to wireless network via a WRT54G but it can't access internet

I’ve got a WRT54G cabled to my desktop, I set up a WEP-secured wireless network for my laptop, and the laptop connects to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, but it can’t get Internet access. I know the problem is not with the router because the laptop CAN get internet access when it's cabled to the router. (So the problem isn’t an IP address problem—which I knew because I had to reconfigure the static IP of the laptop to get it to connect to the network in the first place.) I turned off the Windows firewall, Symantec virus protection, and Internet Explorer’s pop-up blocker on the laptop. The laptop connects perfectly to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, so why can’t it access the internet??
Linksys tech support couldn’t figure it out, so I really need your help. Thank you!

(because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.

Only one of three computers can connect to Internet via Airport

My partner made a change in airport settings when a problem with the router came up and I only partially have it fixed. We have three different computers that have all been accessing the Internet via an 1st generation Airport extreme. The Airport is connected via ethernet to the cable router. One computer, the one that was used to set up the Airport originally, can connect to the Internet just fine. The other two laptops can "see" the Airport network, but cannot get an Internet connection. Do I need to reset the Airport and start over?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Your partner likely changed the AirPort to Bridge Mode based on the information in your post.
Check the following setting on the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Update to save settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort to restart.
Then restart the entire network again.

Airport extreme guest network can't access internet

I upgraded to the 7.6.1 a few weeks ago and recently noticed some oddities, My guest network clients get an IP in the 10.x.x.x network but can't access the internet, the private network is just fine. I looked on the airport utility for any advanced wireless options to indicate setting for the guest but I didn't see anything.
Is this the desired method of operation? My private network is using the 192.168 network, do I have to set my GUEST network to the same range in order to get out with it?
I use a lion server on the network that is also giving out IP via the Lion DHCP Service, is there some other change I need to make to the Airport Extreme to have it forward the Guest network dhcp requests to the Lion Server?
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike.

Turns out when I set my DNS server IP for my APE DHCP to my Internal IP on my Lion server, the Airport Extreme is not allowing those guests to talk to my DNS Server so I updated the DNS to be my external/Public IP and now the guest network can do DNS and access all the cool stuff on the internet.

I've updated os x 10.7.4 now my sonos app can't access iTunes library

done the 10.7.4 upgrade now Sonos app can't access iTunes library, still gets internet radio, so it must be this update - anyone else seen this or knows how to fix?

Make sure you update OS X to 10.7.5 then retry.
