I have an internet connection but pages won't open

For the past 24 hours, I have been unable to open my Web browser (Safari). . . The window stays empty for about 5 minutes and then I get a message that I'm not connected to the internet, even though it is showing a strong wireless signal. When I click on network diagnostics, I am told that I DO have an established internet connection, so I don't understand what the problem is.

Of course when I got home last night, it was working again, but it would still be good to know what the problem might have been, so your suggestions are helpful for the future.
Thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious to me about reception and access being unrelated. The answer to this may be obvious as well, but I'm somehow missing it - if I didn't have access, why did I get the message, "you have an established internet connection," when I ran network diagnostics? If it doesn't mean I have access, what is that referring to?
I haven't had any problems since I set it up almost a year ago, but if it happens in the future I'll try your suggestions and be sure to provide more specifics.
Thanks!

    Turn your router completely off (unplug it) for a few seconds, then turn it back on again and see if you can connect.

  • Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

    Have a MacBook. Shows I have an internet connection, but cannot get on. I do have connection with my other computer???

    I've looked at the IP adress, and it started with 169.
    This means you aren't actually connected to the Internet; only to your router.
    An easy first attempt at a fix is to turn your router off and then on again.

    I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please

    when you say there is an Internet connection have you used safari?  Or does the phone just display a data connection (i.e. 3g/4g)?  You could try a couple of things if it is the latter 1. turn off cellular data than turn it back on.  2. turn on airplane mode and turn it back off.  I type these assuming you've tried resetting network connections.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • My airport says i have an internet connection but no web page opens!!help!

      I recently unplugged my imac and brought it to a friends to use. I used his wireless to surf the internet no problem. Now A few days later, I brought my computer back home and plugged everything in, I double clicked on safari and when it opened there was no website and I recieved the classic error "You are not connected to the internet."  But the funny thing is My wireless says im connected. My airport has full bars, i have full service, so i would think  websites would be working, BUT THERE NOT! I tried everything as well (Network diagnostics, Resetting safari, etc.) But nothing seems to work. Do you think its my Mac or maybe a problem that i need to address with my internet provider? Thank you to anyone in advance who helps...PLEASE HELP!    I have an MAC OS X  10.5.8..2.66GHz Intel core 2 duo  4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3

    Airport may have 4 bars however all that indicates is you have a Wi-Fi signal it does not mean you have an Internet connection though. You may have an issue with your modem, easiest thing to do is power cycle your router and modem then retry.

  • I have full internet connection, but it says I'm offline?

    I was just listening to my regular playlist and then I tried to discontect Facebook. Suddenly, Spotify changed into Offline-mode. Do I need to change back or something? Why does it say "Offline" when I have full internet connection???? I've tried to shut it down and open again but it doesn't work. HELP PLEASE, I'M DYING HERE.

    this happened to me after i restarted spotify to update, and now i cant listen to  half my music, lucky i have spotdyl, ive downloaded some songs for free. but still very very annoying!

  • Can't install Photoshop CC. Told I have no Internet connection, but I do.

    I just purchased CC for Photoshop and Lightroom. When trying to install it, I get an error stating that I have no Internet connection, which is totally false. I've been looking at stuff on the forum and one place gives a number of things to look for. One is to be sure that I have installed the GlobalSign Root CA certificate. I'm looking at how to install on a Mac, but the link gives information on how to install on a PC. Not much help there.

    Well, something on your system is preventing the installer from contacting Adobe's servers - and it acts like you aren't even connected to the network.
