Express won't connect to internet, yet shows full signal

I have just had BT infinity installed last week every thing was working fine but i wanted to replace a very old telephone extension cable from my BT walk socket at the other end of my flat to a really good quality ADSL cable which would plug in to my Draytek Vigor 130 modem which then links into a time capsule, i then have an airport express and an airport extreme (in bridge mode) to extend my Wifi coverage. Bt infinity worked fine until i replace the ADSL cable but why do the routers now say there is full bars yet cannot connect to the internet? Can anyone help???

Ok, with the Draytek performing basic modem functions, you will want to leave the Time Capsule in router mode.
We can now add the other two base stations, one at a time, to extend the Time Capsule's Wi-Fi network. Again, I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on both of these base stations. For each base station, you will want to determine the ideal location for extending the TC's signal. Please refer to the following AirPort User tip for details on station placement. This tip is best performed using a Mac laptop. Note: Be sure that only the Time Capsule is operating while taking the SNR measurements as you only want to know its signal quality at the location you plan on placing the extending base station. You may find their current location is not ideal using this tip.
Once you determined the best location for each extending base station bring both to the same room that you have the Time Capsule. I would then recommend that you use the "automated" setup within the AirPort Utility to configure each for an extended network one at a time. Verify that network is extended before going on to configure the second base station. Finally, after each base station has been verified, move them to the locations that you determined using the tip.

Airport Express won't connect to internet...all is green

My Airport express won't connect to established Network in my office. I am connecting to a 10/100 base T in the building (as the modem, I assume) and want to broadcast the network for wifi. Express sets up ok, but than cannot find the internet....any suggestions? The port is live as I can directly connect it to my Mac Book and find the internet without issues.

It is possible to have a green light on the Express if some network errors are overlooked, so it may be necessary to reset the Express back to factory default settings and start over again.
Keep in mind that some networks will not allow a router to be added to the network, so a computer might work, but a router may not.
What model number of AirPort Express do you have?
What operating system are you using on the MacBook?
Do yo know if the Express has been configured to operate in Bridge Mode?

Airport Express won't connect to internet via WAN ethernet

I have new model Airport Express (AE)
I am attempting to use the AE as a wifi router in my office. I'm sure the office has some sort of secure internet, although when I hardwire my computer to the internet via ethernet my computer connects immediately to internet with no passwords or logins necessary.
I have set up my AE to create a new wireless network. It is ready to go, but it does not recognize that it is connected to internet. Ethernet cord is plugged into WAN input, and other end is plugged into wall for office supplied internet.
AE will not recognize that it is connected to internet.
I assume this is due to something with the office supplied internet being secured or "special." Is there a work around here, or suggested next steps?
Thanks.

If you get all three together, "Ethernet unplugged" would pretty much explain the other two errors. Troubleshoot that first.
Is the same ethernet cable you are using with the AE the same one that worked with your computer? Is it oriented in the same direction (same end to the wall) as when it was used with the computer? Your office might use a non-standard cabling system or be taking some other measures to deter the use of foreign equipment.
Have you asked your office's technical support folks for any special instructions?

Airport Express won't connect to internet

I configured the AX from factory settings about 3 times. I tried configuring with "using DHCP." I've tried to manually enter the IP address info to both the AX admin utility and through my macbook preferences. I've followed all the trouble shooting tips. I've restarted everything I can restart. I've even changed ethernet cables.
Ultimately, my mac says I'm connected to the internet on AX (network prefs> TCP/IP) but the AX blinks amber and the cable modem is all green lights, but won't register as "online"
Why can't I connect to the internet? How do I fix that problem?

Ok, let's double-check your AX's settings...
AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling (optional)
- Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AX (optional)
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Setup the AX
With the network components powered down, set up the AX, using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Create a closed network (unchecked)
- Wireless Security: Not enabled
- Channel: Automatic
- Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure: Using DHCP
- WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (checked)
- Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)

Router won't connect to internet, computer shows 'limited or no connectivity' message

Hi everyone, I could use some help. I have a Linksys WRT150N router that I bought a few years ago. It was working fine till about two days ago. I can't connect to the internet at all through the computer it's connected to or wirelessly on my laptop. The message 'limited or no connectivity' shows up on both computers. I tried resetting and unplugging the router several times, and I can't even access the router's settings using the IP address cause I need internet to do that. I know it's not my modem because when I connect it directly to the computer without the router, I can access the internet. So do I need a new router or is there something else I can do? Could my internet service provider have done something recenly so that it doesn't work with my router anymore? Please help, I seriously don't want to spend money on another router.

Who is your Internet Service Provider ?
If you are using cable connection then follow this link and if you are using DSL connection then follow this link.

802.11n Airport Express won't connect to Internet

Hi,
I have recently purchased a new 802.11n Airport Express which works fine with the Airport Utility, but will not connect to the internet through the Ethernet.
It is plugged directly from the cable model into the 802.11n via Ethernet.
I know that it is not the modem/internet service provider because when I pop my old 802.11b/g (model A1084) everything works fine, and I connect no problem.
The settings appear the same, but with the old model I get internet, with the 802.11n I get the flashing amber light. If I set it up manually, and input the same IP, Subnet Mask, and Router number that is working for the 802.11b/g model, I get the solid green light, but no internet.
Originally, I assumed I'd just picked up a lemon, so I exchanged it and I am getting the exact same results so I must be doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
I wanted to extend my network, but use the 802.11n as the internet input so I could take advantage of the faster speeds.

Welcome to the discussions!
You mentioned that you had a cable modem. Although the ISP will claim otherwise, in many cases it will take 20-30 minutes for a modem to completely reset. The reset is needed whenever you change the device that is directly connected to the modem.
Power down the modem and pull the battery if it has one. Power down the rest of the system as well.
Power up the modem first and let it run for 5-10 minutes, then the Express for a few minutes, then your computers.
Once you get things going, we can look into the next puzzle of extending the network. Please post back when you have the "green" light and internet.

Replacement airport express won't connect to internet

Why can't I get my replacement airport express to connect to the internet

Wonder if you can direct me to any past or present solutions. I have the new Airport Extreme tower. Actually I'm trying number 2 thinking the problem was number 1. Apparently not. I've done multiple factory resets. Even waited couple hours to try reinstall because my provider said there is a Mac or max filter and wait. Anyhow once I'm able to get the AE online(green) not internet connection. I brought my Airport express in and hooked it up and in blink of an eye it's online with internet. Even phone companys stock modem connects. Interesting that the A express summary lists the DNS addresses and domain. Took this information and tried putting it in when retried the AE. No luck. The First AE worked for over week. Phone tech checked switch at office and did line ping.
My DSL provider uses DCHP.Sorry I forgot the name of the box outside at my phone line where DSL connects. Inside I make connection phone jack and ethernet cable.
As I said I've done every form of power down reset. Any suggestion be appreciated. Next stop be Apple.

Suddenly iMac won't connect to internet yet laptops will

With no changes that I'm aware of my iMac will no longer connect to the internet. When I open Firefox (or Safari) a window pops up telling me Firefox can't connect to my default URL nor any other site I select. I've tried turning airport off and then back on, resetting the wireless router from Verizon (FIOS) and unselecting and reselecting the signal from the router. Strangely this is not happening on my laptop nor my wifes.
iMac is running Tiger, laptops Panther.

Try with this AirPort Utility 5.3.2 for Tiger update.

Won't connect to Internet explorer....just got this computer a week ago brand new

I just got this computer brand new a week ago. It started trying to watch vid on the net and it workstation show the picture. Then 2 days later it won't connect to Internet explorer at all. I'm so frustrated I mean how is this possible to have problems already. If I can't fix this tomorrow I'm taking it back. Please help thank you

Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

Old (11g) Express won't connect to new (11n) Extreme

My old Airport Express won't connect to my new Airport Extreme. I can see the Express in the Airport Utility, but every time I try to set it up it disconnects me from the internet. It never connects to the Airport Extreme to extend my network so I can use AirTunes. What to do?

As James points out, the older Express needs to be setup in WDS mode to extend the network.
A new feature of the new Extreme and Express is a feature called "Allow this network to be extended".
This should not be confused with WDS setup.
Apple needs to update their documentation on the new Express units.
I also feel there should be another category in the forums for Express "g" and Express "n" just like they have for the Extreme units. It has been confusing lately to figure out which Express units people are talking about because they don't mention it in their original post.
You should be able to have the old Express "g" unit "Join your network"... That you can do between the old Express and the new Extreme... Give that a try just to make sure it works.

Mac Mini won't connect to internet using Apple products (Safari, iTunes, AppStore). Date and time are frozen to the moment CPU is booted up. Firefox works. Cannot update.

For the past few days my Mac Mini has been having issues.
Safari won't connect to internet, but Firefox does.
Time and date are frozen. Only resets when copmuter is re-booted.
Unable to update via App Store and iTunes won't connect either.
Please advise.

Hi again,
Let me ask for some better help for you that is familiar with this problem (if in fact it is a similar problem with the IP address and your ISP.
The other topic concerning this can be found at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2725608
It is a somewhat lengthy thread but may just apply to your situation.
Anyways I will see if I can call on some better help for you. Hang in there. Best to arm yourself with enough info before contacting Comcast so they might know what you are dealing with fully.
littleshouders
edit: I have posted for some extra help for you that may have a better idea of what's going on if it is your ISP and their modem and how it handles the IP address causing Safari and iTunes not to connect. Hang in there it may take awhile but I'm sure someone will pop in to help.

How to enable a disabled iPod that won't connect to internet

trying to enable my disabled 5th generation iPod touch. I have tried connecting to iTunes on the computer, which I couldn't get it to do anything. I then tried using the "Find my iPhone" website and erased the iPod. However, I got a message that says "This iPod will be erased when it connects to the internet". How do I connect a disabled/locked iPod to the internet/wifi while it is waiting to be erased because it won't connect to internet/wifi?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Brand new Apple TV won´t connect to Internet

I just bought an Apple TV 3rd generation today. Unfortunately I´m having some issues installing it.
The Apple TV does connect to my wifi network but won´t connect to Internet. I´m currently using Time Capsule as router and thought that all Apple gadgets would have no problems connecting to each other. Both my Macbook Air and iPhone can connect to Internet when using the same wifi. I´ve tried to restart and restore Apple TV a few times and have also restarted my router. Apple suggested that when troubleshooting, but it did not work. Anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

I´m not sure what just happened, but when I woke up this morning and started Apple TV it worked. Haven´t done any changes in settings...
Out of curiosity, if the same problem occurs again how would I solve the internet connection problem. Yesterday I just saw computers/settings on the main screen.
