Green light on Airport Extreme but will not connect to internet

I have tried restarting computer and Airport Extreme but it will not connect to internet.  Unit has been working great up until now.  I have made no changes in system.
This Airport/time machine is 2009 version.

The Cisco DPC 3010 is a cable modem, so you will need to let the modem completely reset before you connect it to the AirPort Extreme.
It may be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and reconfigure it, but we will try a shortcut first to see if that can be avoided.
Power off the entire network.....all devices....modem, AirPort, computers, mobile devices, etc in any order that you want.
Be sure to disconnect the power cable on the modem, either on the back of the device or pull the power cord from the wall AC jack
Leave everything powered off for at least 30 minutes.  Longer is better, as it sometimes takes the equipment back at the ISP longer to completely reset and issue a new fresh IP address to the modem.
After the wait period, power up the modem first, and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself. If your modem documentation states that the modem should be powered up for 15 minutes, then go with 15.
Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a few minutes
Then power up other devices one at a time about a minute apart
When the entire network is back up, check the network.
It this does not work, you will have to start over again as above, except this time you will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme.
To do that, power off the AirPort Exterme for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme.....and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Extreme
Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Power off the AirPort now, and start it back up in the proper sequence
If things still don't work, then you likely have a defective AirPort Extreme that will need to be replaced.

  • My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

    My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

    Welcome to the support community group.
    First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
    Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
    First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop.  Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back  for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power.  Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
    Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
    Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop.  Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility.  Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
    Check back if you're still having problems.

  • "My Windows 7 Dell will see Airport network but will not connect"

    "My Windows 7 Dell will see Airport network but will not connect" Can anyone help me out with this?
    Thanks,

    Yes, I have the Airport utility installed on the Windows 7 dell.

  • Airport shows being connected but will not connect to internet

    Airport will not connect to internet yet shows me as connected. 
    When and if I do get connected, I will loose the connection and unable to access the internet.
    This has happened using several different wireless locations.
    Please help as to what my settings should be or how to correct the problem

    What debugging steps have you taken?
    Connecting to your wireless network and connecting to the Internet are two different parts of the connection process.
    If you open your Network preferences panel does it show you have an IP address of the form 169.x.x.x?

  • HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet

    My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
    Good luck.

  • Green light, but will not connect to Internet

    Set up the router easily, solid green light. Airport Utility says Airport is green, but Internet connection is "disconnected"

    Hmmm. I'm not familiar with Arris, but the power down / power up sequence works with any cable modem that I've ever used.
    If you are:
    Connecting to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
    Verified that the Ethernet cable is working correctly
    I am running out of ideas
    I assume that the Airport Extreme is functioning correctly, but there is no way to verify that. Suggest you give it one last shot before you haul the Extreme in to the Apple Store.
    This time, perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Pull the power cable from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort to display a slow blinking amber light.
    Then do the complete power down and power up in sequence again to see if the modem and AirPort will associate with each other.
    If that does not do it, I am stumped.  If you find a solution, please let us know.

  • Airport Express is recognized in AirPort Utility but will not connect.

    I just bought a brand new Airport Extreme from Best Buy yesterday and have it set up perfectly. However, now my Airport Express (that I use to stream music to my stereo via Airtunes) will not connect. I have reset the Airport Express many times and it still won't connect. Here is what is crazy... the Airport Express is recoginized within the AirPort Utility, however when I click 'Continue' I get this message:
    "Warning: Are you sure you want to switch wireless networks? Setting up this Apple wireless device requires switching networks. Switching networks may interupt your connection to the Internet"
    I click 'OK' and I get this message "Connecting To Network' Connecting to network 'Apple Network 08ded7'. Please wait..."
    Than the message disappears and I stay on the same screen I started from (I don't advance to the next setup screen... repeat and it does the same thing.
    I've disabled my firewalls and still no luck. Also, the Airport Express shows an Orange light both on the device and the AirPort Utility.
    Anyone know what the deal may be?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Not sure why, but I installed the Airport Utility software on a differnt PC and was able to get the Airport Express configured and working just fine now. Hmmmmm...
    So nice to have my music playing again - love Airtunes!

  • BEFW11S4 Problems - Says connected but will not connect to Internet

    Hello, everyone, I have one desktop hooked up to a BEFW11S$ router. I also have another desktop and a notebook running off of it. The main one, as well as the other desktop work perfectly fine, while the other desktop is just a  bit on the slow side, but the laptop, which says it is connected will not connect to any form of internet, whether it be IE or MSN. I'm not sure, but I think the connection between the computers needs re-establishing. Though I have no idea how to go about doing this... Any help? T.T

    Hi… I would suggest you to delete preferred wireless networks on your wireless laptop, and then try to reconnect to the wireless network. Also check what ip address you are getting, is it a valid ip address from the router. Try deleting cookies in internet explorer. Then check the connection. You cannot change anything on the router because other two computers are working fine.

  • My iPad can find a network but will not connect to internet ever since i did last software update

    Ever since the last software update my iPad will not connect to the internet. I can see the networks and have great signal strength but it just won't connect. Other iPad users who have not done the update can sit next to me and connect with no issues. My iPad is only a month old! not good enough!

    There are no changes to WiFi in the last two updates 4.3.4, and 4.3.5. These contained only fixes for a malicious PDF file handling problem, and a security certificate handling problem.
    Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings to see if that fixes your problems.

  • Network says I'm connected but will not connect to internet

    My iMac (2007 w/OSX 10.6.8, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB) suddenly stopped connecting to the Internet even though it says "airport is connected & Ethernet is connected" I spent and hour + with tech support from Our ISP, took it to the local Athorized Mac seller I bought it from and it worked fine with their connection. also all other computers in our home work fine from my iPad to ROKU. is ther a way of removing previous network settings and then running the setup help from scratch? It just doesn't make sence, some times a RSS will open without any pictures but when I try to go to one the links I get the same old "You are not connected to the Internet and the Network Diagnostics... Button appears. Trying to go to any regular web page never works BTW I always get the previous mentioned message. thank you for reading and I hope someone can help me fix this what I think is a simple but out of my realm of ability to fix and I don't want to make it worse !

  • Airport Extreme 1st generation not connecting to internet via PPPoE.

    The Extreme is replacing an existing Airport Express which successfully connects to the internet. I reset the Airport Extreme to the factory settings and started from there. The internet provider requires it be setup using PPPoE. I've tried several times to set up a new wireless network but the Airport Extreme isn't connecting to the internet, can't find DNS servers. I contacted the internet provider and confirmed that all settings/usernames/passwords are correct. I cycled the power on the DSL modem, unplugging it for several minutes a few times. Finally I took the whole setup to the local Genius Bar. Since they couldn't setup a PPPoE network there, the Apple Tech set up the Extreme using DHCP so we know it works. He suggested that I try replacing the wireless network instead of setting up a new network. I came home and tried that to the same results: no DNS servers and PPPoe not connecting to the internet. Everything in the Extreme is exactly the same as the Express except the Express works and the Extreme doesn't. What am I missing?
    Some background:
    I purchased and used the Extreme in the US. Now trying to connect it to my MacBook in Canada. I did change the setting in the Extreme to "Canada"
    I just the computer to 10.6.8. I ran the Disk Utility to repair the disk permissions several times.

    If you temporarily connect the modem directly to your MacBook and set up a PPPoE connection on your Mac as a test......can it connect to the Internet that way?
