I can't get my TC to connect to the Internet

I just bought a new time capsule to back up my macs, well I can't get it to connect to the internet to send out wireless internet signal. Both my networks appear, 1. "actiontec" which is my qwest gt701-wg wireless internet signal I am using right now. 2. Jordan's wifi network also appears which is obviously coming from the TC but it is sending no internet. I got the green light to turn on by hitting ignore on two problems that are keeping it from sending internet. It says it can't connect to the internet and I should cycle the router which I have tried and it also says my PPPoE password I believe is wrong which I have wrote on paper that I got from quest. HELP please

+I tried the option to integrate the time capsule to join the existing wireless network using the bridge mode. But is it correct that I cannot use the ethernet port to connect devices with the internet?+
When the Time Capsule is configured to "join a wireless network", the ethernet ports on the device are not enabled. In other words, when the Time Capsule is configured to "join a wireless network", it performs no routing functions at all. It is simply a wireless backup device.
+Do I have to establish a WDS? How wold I do this??? OR is there another way to solve my problem.+
Very few products from other manufacturers are compatible with Apple's WDS arrangement. I couldn't find any compatibility information regarding your router, so suspect that it is not compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
If you are able to do so, connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your existing router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule and configure it to act as a bridge, (Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge mode)). This would enable the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule and even allow you to create another wireless network with the Time Capsule if you need that feature.
If it's not possible to run the ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal from your current router to the Time Capsule location.

Can't get airport extreme to connect to the internet?

My sister in law just purchased an airport extreme for her windows pc and when we connect the ethernet from the modem to the airport, the amber light flashes, indicating that it has no connection to the internet. We have rebooted both the airport and the modem, what do we do now?

Download the setup manual for your AEB here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#airport
Follow the setup instructions.
Flashing light could also mean that a firmware upgrade is available for your AEB.

I can't get my laptop to connect to the internet through my Ellipsis Jetpack.

My laptop will connect to the jetpack but with limited access. It will connect to my mom's computer and my phone. I have windows 8.1 and she has windows vista.

The usual thing is to delete the existing Jetpack profile on the Windows laptop, and then reestablish a wireless connection to the laptop where you will have to reenter the Wi-Fi Password.
If you’re still having trouble, Verizon Wireless Customer Service (800) 922-0204, exists to help you connect your laptop to your Jetpack.

Why can i get my ipad to connect to the internet

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Macbook pro keeps saying connection timeout, and it used to connect to the internet fine. what's up, why can't it find and automatically connect to the internet anymore???

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I can't get my usb 720 to open the internet with windows 8.1 even though it says it's connected.

I just down loaded my software for the vz usb 720 modem on a new windows 8.1 computer and it says it is connected but the internet won't come on. It says firewall settings my have to be changed (921) Has anyone had this problem and is there a software upgrade for windows 8.1 that I need to use, or is it so out of date it will not work with 8.1 at all?

Morffun,
I appreciate you reaching out. I do apologize, but that device is not compatible with Windows 8.1 software. If you wanted to explore other options for wireless broadband devices, we have plenty available. You can view them here: http://vz.to/YuBwCW.

Getting clamshell iBook to connect to the internet with BaseStation

Hey all!
I'm trying to get my iBook Clamshell to connect to the internet. I have FiOS and have connected the BaseStation via Ethernet to the LAN port. I have tried to configure the BaseStation both wireless and wired, but the AirPort Utility couldn't find it either time. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Sarah
P.S. Its the Snow (dual Ethernet port) BaseStation.

"Finding" a Base Station for the first time with wireless is difficult.
Make it less difficult by connecting via Ethernet cable (in the second port) to configure, then switch to wireless.
OS9 Internet setup:
Ideally, you would be hooking up by plugging the Ethernet cable into one port on a multi-port Wireless+Wired Router. If there are no cabling issues, the "connected" light should come on at the Router.
The next step is to get a valid IP Address from the Router. When the Mac "wakes up" it self-assigns an Address like 169.254.xxx.yyy and stops there. To force it to Broadcast a request for a Router to assign it an Address in the same range as all the other active IP Addresses, you need to force some Internet Activity.   Assuming that since you posted on the OS 9 forum, you are indeed using OS 9, this whole scenario can be monitored using the OS 9 TCP/IP Control Panel.  Open the TCP/IP Control Panel and check to make sure that the built-in Ethernet port is selected and that it is configured to get an Address using DHCP. All other fields can be left blank. You MUST close the Control Panel and save changes before anything will take effect.  
Then force some Internet Activity, by opening a browser window and entering a URL, or setting the Network Time, or checking Software Update.   Then re-open the TCP/IP Control Panel and see what IP Address has been assigned.
  case1) you have an IP Address in the range of all other IP Addresses on your local Network, differing only in the last digits. You are good to go.  
case2) you have a "self-assigned" Ethernet Address in the range 169.254.xxx.yyy. You have not been able to talk to the Router, so you should suspect cabling problems or port problems.  
case3) you have Address 0.0.0.0. You have not caused any Internet activity or your software is messed up.  Remember that you must close the Control Panel for any changes to take effect.

Can a 6300 with no SIM connect to the Internet via...

Hello,
I have a Nokia 6300 and I would like to be able to connect it via USB lead to my PC and use the PC's internet connection rather than the normal GPRS connection. The hard bit is that I want to do this without having a SIM card in the phone.
I'm aware that the 6300 can do lots of things without the SIM card but I can't seem to get this to work. I can do file transfers etc but cannot connect to the internet.
Does anyone have a suggestions for me?
Many thanks
Derek

Keep getting "You are not connected to the Internet"

Hi, been scouring the discussion pages for an answer & so far nothing suggested has worked for me...
I have a MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get Internet from my BT HomeHub2. It's worked fine for the best part of 2 years, woke up this morning and although AirPort is connected I get the "Safari can't connect to "www.******.co.uk because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." whenever I try to load any website.
From other discussions I've tried the following to no avail...
Restart HomeHub & MacBook
Remove AirPort from Network preferences & re-add
Delete 'SystemPreferences' folder from Finder/Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences & re-start
Perform a System Update for the entire MacBook --- can't do as no Internet connection!!
I know the actual Internet 'supply' from BT is working fine as I'm currently writing this on my iPad2, connected to the HomeHub and can view pages in Safari (my iPhone 4S & partner's iPhone 4 have no issue either)
If its any help, on my Network setting page, where AirPort says connected & a green light, it says I'm connected to my BTHomeHub2-**** with an IP address 192.***.*.**

1. Power cycle your wireless router and modem.
2. Renew your DHCP lease (for that matter make sure configure using IPV4 is set to DHCP). This is found in system preferences, network, advanced.
3. Create a test location. Instead of automatic, choose edit location. Create a test location, then apply.
4. Try your computer out on a different network (mcdonalds, starbucks, or an apple retail store). If you computer connects through airport there, you know your computer is fine and the issue is with your ISP or your router.
btw what type of router do you have? and what type of encryption do you have on it? a lot of old 3rd party routers with WEP encryption do not like to work with apple computers.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Why do I get "you are not connected to the internet" when I hit software updates?

I am trying to upgrade the OS from 10.6.3 and, following Apple's instructions, I hit Software Update and get the message "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again." I am connected, so what is the problem?

For a starting place restart your router and modem with the mac asleep.
Also maybe sone help here:
