I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail

I am connected to wifi, but can't open webpages or collect mail. I have tried to reconnect; to forget the network, all those things that should hepl. My phone and my computer recognize the network, the ipad doesn't.  I mean I am connected  and have a full scala of connection bows, but nothing happens.

You iPad recognizes the wifi signal, but is not connected.
Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Connected to wifi but can't access

    what's wrong with my iphone connected to wifi but i can't access the internet? while my friend's ipod touch and ipad1 they can access the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod and attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., router make/model, wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • MacBook Air connects to WiFi but can't connect to internet for about 5 minutes

    I have a MacBook Air running Yosemite and whenever I wake it from sleep or turn it on it says it's connected to wifi, but it's usually about 5 minutes before anything will load.
    • Happens on multiple wifi networks
         • and doesn't happen to other devices on those networks
    • Been going on for ages (since Mavericks)
    • Diagnostics says nothing's wrong
    • Still happens on other users and in safe mode.
    Does this happen to anyone else / does anybody know a way around it?

    Hi jamang1999,
    For that specific issues where you are connected to the internet after waking your MacBook Air up from sleep and it is not connecting to the internet, then take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. There is a section called Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet and go through those troubleshooting steps to see if it continues afterwards. I know that the troubleshooting is for OS X lion and previous version of OS X but the troubleshooting is still relevant. If it does not work and are still experiencing issues, then you may need to contact Apple for additional support.

    Now I am connected to the Internet but can not open any website.
    Just nothing happens
    Anybody had this issue?

    Is there any message shown on the screen?
    Power down the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait 10 minutes.
    Plug it back in. Power it on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.

  • Blackberry Curve 9360 says connected to wifi but when I open browser it give me an error

    Hey i recently bought a blackberry curve 9360. I have not been able to connect to my home wifi which is protected as well as a free wifi hotspot at my university. The phone says i am connected to wifi, however, i cannot open a website on my browser.
    The browser gives me the following error "unable to connect to the internet, please try again later. if the problem persists please contact your service provider".
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hello
    I have the same problem. my 9360 wont connect to the internet unless the wireless network is set without security. always fails when setup with WPA2-personal.

  • Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet

    I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected. I have tried changing some of my settings but can only get as far as the message 'Cannot open page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' I also have the same problem with my Iphone and Ipod touch, I have never tried to sort these as don't need the internet on them. I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
    Many thanks

    What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
    If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
    Please report what you see there.
    Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
    Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
    When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

  • Connected to wifi but can't access internet

    My MacBook connects to the internet through wifi, but ipod, iphone and ipad only connect.  Even though the bars are there indicating connection, I can't access the internet on any of the 3 devices.     When I reset the router it the devices can access the Internet for a while, but then i lose access again.   Hmmm?

    We got our son's working yesterday. It didn't dawn on me until many hours later that I kept giving the router password instead of the Hex key for the I-touch password Entry. We had to supply the Hex Key. We use WEP as a security mode and both password and Hex key are in Hexidecimal format. I hope this helps you and saves you many hours of headaches.

  • Connected to wifi but can't stay connected to internet

    I currently have a curve 9300, and my service provider is Telus Mobility. I am connected to wifi and up till about 3 days ago everything was working fine, now it shows I am connected, but I can only get on internet for about 5 mins, I have to shut off all my connections then reconnect them for it to work again. Any ideas as to the problem?

    OK...then, with your WiFi radio OFF (e.g., solely running on your carrier data network), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!
    If not, then I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, does the behavior still present? If not, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    If the behavior does still present in Safe Mode, then you may want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    Good luck!

  • My ipod touch connects to wifi but can't connect to the server.

    Ok, so my ipod youch says it's connected to the wifi but when i try to get on the internet it says it can't connect to the server. I've looked and there's alot of answers but they're all soooooooooooooo complicated. I'm like 14, so whoever can answer this, please use small words.
    I've noticed in alot of the answers they talk about your IP adress, if it's any consilation mine starts with 169. No matter where I go, if it's at home, or at starbucks or a hotel.
    Thanks for your time

    Have you tried restoring your iPod touch in iTunes?
    You may just be trying to connect to "Printer Networks" that allow a company/residence to print something from their printer wirelessly, it would appear on your iPod touch just about the same as any other network, but you wouldn't be able to use internet while connected to that network...
    If you are talking about "free wifi" in a Cafe, like Starbucks, you will usually need to open Safari. A Page will load and tell you how to connect to their internet, whether it's by paying, or just agreeing to their terms...
    Like, I said, if that isn't the problem, try restoring your iPod touch in iTunes...

  • IMac connects to wifi, but won't open all websites

    I can get email, but only loads certain websites.  Facebook and Google work, but not Amazon (and many more).  I get an error message in Safari "Safari can't open the page because the server stopped responding".  The iMac connected perfectly before, the only thing that has changed is that we were having people use our wifi (of which data is limited since we live in a rural area).  So, we added the security feature "Wireless Mac Authentication" to our router.  We have added the addresses of all of our devices and they all are working fine except for the iMac.  I have tried changing the DNS to the same that is on my Macbook pro, but it doesn't help.  Also, had a WEP for the router, but changed it to a WPA because I thought maybe that was the problem, but it did not help either.  Thanks for any help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My Macbook connects to Internet but won't open webpage

    Thanks in advance for reading this. My Macbook shows various Airport connections but hasn't worked for a while unless it is directly plugged into my modem. I just set up a new modem and connect via Airport. The Airport signal shows that it is strong and connected, but I cannot open a web page. Any ideas? I'm not sure of my operating system--I bought this mac in June and I know I don't have the fancy new one. Thanks so much.

    Your post is confusing. Your airport can show many signals but that doesn't mean you're on any of those networks - which should require entering some sort of password. Where I'm sitting now, my airport icon shows 9 networks of which 7 are locked and I'm on one and haven't tried the other that might be open. You need to join a network, which you can do by selecting that option from the drop down menu - if you know the password. (You can also open the Network system preference.)
    The version of the OS doesn't matter much, though what the airport drop down menu shows will be different from 10.4 to 10.5.
    In other words, it sounds as though you're confusing having a wireless signal with being connected to the wireless network and thus to the internet.
