Have wifi but no internet

Setting up airport extreme with comcast cable modem. Finally got green light and internet on iMac via ethernet. I get a strong wifi signal on macbook pro and iPhone but no internet. Is there a setting I'm missing or is the AE defective?
Thanks

If the device provides wireless, it's almost certain that it's a gateway/router with 3-4 ethernet ports.
If that is confirmed, then the correct setting on the AirPort Extreme would be as follows:
AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
If it's a simple modem with only one ethernet port, use the same sequence as above except that the setting for Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Click Update to save settings.
If she has a cable modem, it will need to be fully reset.
Push the reset button (if present) and power the modem down
Pull the battery if it's easily accessible
Wait 30 minutes. Longer would be better.
Power up the modem with the AirPort Extreme connected to it.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • My iPod 5th gen connects to wifi but the internet doesn't work.

    So we were watching netflix on the ps4 and something happened and now my ipod will connect to the wifi but the internet doesn't work. everything else connects just fine to the internet just not my ipod. I've renew my lease, reset my settings and network, forgot my network and rejoined,  turn my ipod completely off and back on, turned my wifi off then back open. The IP address is 192.xxx.x.xx
    its the ipod 5th generation 16gb.  With the latest update

    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.

    im connected to wifi but the internet wont work how do i make it work

    Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network?  A commercial network?

  • I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either.

    HI
    I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either. it picks and chooses when I can receive them and make calls. It only works everytime I turn my phone off.

    Try turning on Airplane mode for a little bit (20-30 seconds) and turn it back off. see if that doesn't allow you to re-connect.
    In my current project my office receives no signal at all. I have to do this almost every time I leave the office in order to get a signal.

    my text messages go to everyone except to my daughters. she has an iphone but with bell and mine is with rogers.  she receives them when she is at home or say at chapters/tim hortons where they have wifi, but if she is walking somewhere or at somewhere without wifi, it isn't working? i don't understand.  she has a text plan.  her phone is an iphone 4s  can anybody assist me if you know what the problem may be? thanks so much.

    Have her go to Settings>Cellular and make sure Cellular Data is turned to On.  If she's having trouble with regular sms messages, check her carrier to be sure her messaging plan is properly provisioned.

    I am really sorry I upgraded so quickly to ios8.
    Not only do I not have my ATT but my pics "events from mac" are in some unknow order.  I have 220 folders that are not alpabetized.  I cannot find any pictures.
    On the Macbook Air the events are perfect, all in alphabetic order.  When they transferred they are mixed.  Faces are mixed now.
    THis new operating system is horrible.  How do I go back to 7.
    And the ipad 2 is so slow now.  There are no positives!

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Curve 8520 set-up newbie help please - have wifi but no browser, no internet, no email

    I have just acquired this near-new pre-owned Curve.  It appeared to have been correctly data-cleared by the previous owner.  I've run the set-up wizard and everything worked fine.  It's connected to my wifi with a strong signal. But
    1. the browser says "Unable to connect to the Internet - contact your service provider", and
    2. the email set-up screen does not offer "I want to create or add an email address" as in the User Guide - only "I want to use a  work email account" which I don't have and don't want!  The screen message says if the "add email address"' option is not shown, contact your wireless provider.
     I don't understand!  If my TalkTalk broadband (wifi) is connecting my laptop to the internet with no problem, what more do I have to do to get the Blackberry (connected to the same wifi) onto the internet too? 
    3. And how do I connect to the internet via the phone (Vodafone PAYG) when I am not in wifi range?  
    Finally:
    4.  Why does my phone say "unknown number" when it's calling out? The User Guide says it should show my own number.  Surely it knows this number from the Sim card?
    Completely out of my depth here, as you can see....
    Big thanks in advance for any help

    Hiya, as per the messages your phone is giving you.... You need to contact Vodafone. 
    In order to use the majority of data features on your phone such as email or BBM, you need a blackberry data plan rather than the generic one from your carrier. 
    So give Vodafone a call - I believe the BlackBerry Bolt On on PAYG is £5 a month with some inclusive data. 

  • How can i download an ebook to my ipad when i don't have wifi but have direct connect to internet ?

    how can I download an ebook to my ipad when i don't have wifi and only a direct connection to the internet?

    I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
    Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an  option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

  • IPod Touch - 4th Gen. Checked onto open WiFi but NO internet connection?

    Hi, New Ipod Touch user. when I search for WiFi connection - open unlocked connections and find them, I click and select these but then when I go into safari; I get the "cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet message".
    Is there something else I need to be doing - I am able to see a few open - unlocked WiFi networks even ones named Free Public WiFi at work, but, even with these click - I have no access to internet??

    Have you tried the basic troubleshooting here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Is it your router or is it a "free" wifi hot spot. For some free wifi you may have to do something. It depends upon the specific setup.
    Have your :
    - powered of and then back on the router:
    - Reset network settings on the iPod:
    Settings>General>Reset
    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I joined itunes on my computor at work since then I have a laptop at home ,an ipad and a iphone 4s and i just recently bought a apple tv 2 I have icloud on all the devices I have clicked on all the home sharing on everything . At home we have wifi but I t

    I opened my account with itunes on my work computor, sometime later I purchased an ipad , and a iphone 4s and i successfully got them all to sync with icloud
    so all my music i have bought and my photos  ect goes to all devices , very happy.
    Then i purchased an apple tv 2 , i have wifi installed and i have set up the apple tv with all the ID and passwords it asks for but it doesnt find my music collection on itunes. I have switched on the home sharing on all devices at home and at work but to no avail. please could someone tell me what i am doing or not doing I am a beginner at this stuff and would appreciate in laymans terms what i can do
    Thankyou

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.
