I have connected to Wifi on my ipad, but cannot access the internet

I am trying to connect my ipad to a wifi network at my work so I can access the internet. It connects to the network fine, but I can't get on the internet. I'm not sure what info you need in order to help me, so please let me know, and I will provide you with what I can! Thanks.

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

    I am connected to my wireless network but cannot access the internet. Any ideas?

    Your router may not have given your iPad 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 or is blank 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 iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then 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., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Equium P200-1IR - Wireless is connected but cannot access the internet

    Hi ya,
    Need a little help!!
    I have just bought an Equium P200-1IR.
    I have turned the wi fi on.
    I can see my router which is Talk Talk.
    I can get the laptop to connect to the router and it says that I am connected,
    however I cannot access the internet.
    I tried the same process by inserting a wi fi dongle into the USB port
    on the laptop and exactly the same happens.
    We have other computers in the house that connect to the router and internet
    ok using the wireless dongle.
    I have plugged a hard wire connection from the laptop to the router and I can
    access the internet immediately with no problems, however would love
    to use the wireless feature.
    Any help really appreciated....Thanks
    Waynec

    Do you use the right channel and right encryption settings?
    This should be checked!
    It should be able to change the WLan channels in device manager -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
    But I would also recommend disabling the encryption and password in router settings and to connect to Open Wlan of course this should be done only for testing purposes if the notebook would be able to connect to the open router, then this would mean that you used a wrong password.
    How about WLan driver update? Did you update the WLan driver? If not do that!

  • IPod touch connects to our wi-fi but cannot access the internet. It functions fine using other wi-fi at other locations just not ours at home. We have 2 other iPods in the house that use ours fine, with no issues....

    I have done all the troubleshooting from the support page. The ipod shows that it is connected to our wi-fi and sometimes even shows the ip addresses but it wont let us connect to the internet/itunes store etc... the other ipods in the house use the wi-fi with no issues and this ipod is able to connect to public wi-fi and other location wi-fis and access the internet with no problems. What else do I do?

    luvlabs
    Thank you for your reply. I have tried your suggestion. Emmm I have an AirLive router, there are so many wires o.O I don't know which one to plug out. I think it is the yellow one which says WAN? But I wasn't so sure. So I tried plugging out each wire and followed your instructions. Sorry, but it didn't work I'm going mad xD! I even tried re-doing your instructions on WAN wire, and it didn't work.
    Hmm according to step 4 (Log back into your network using Settings > WiFi > Other. Re-enter your network name (SSID), security, and network password.)
    My network name is already available in the list. So I didn't need to do that. Or is it neccesary?
    Thanks a bunch! Reply soon

  • I have I tunes installed on Windows 7 but cannot access the music store to purchase. Set up an account but cannot access that now.  Suggestions?

    Can someone give me some feedback on how to access the itunes store from my itunes music library using Windows 7 operating platform?  Sometimes nothing happens.  Other times rectangular boxes appear on top half of screen and words like "Today's Music" and song names appear but then computer locks.  Other times the bar across the top acts like it is accessing the store but nothing opens.

    How to get iTunes Store to Work with Windows 7
    First, Remove all iTunes and supporting software – and all “remnants” using Revo Uninstaller.  Ensure you set Revo Uninstaller on its “Advanced” setting.   You should be able to download a Revo trial software version at no cost.  Recommend one follow the directions posted at this website:   http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
    The goal/intent of these directions/procedures is to ensure complete removal of all iTunes and its supporting software.  Make sure you get all of it, or you will end up repeating this lengthy procedure. 
    Next, before reinstalling iTunes:
    Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
    netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC. 
    After this procedure, then reload the latest version of iTunes Software and see if you can access the iTunes Store. 
    If the iTunes Store does not open or completely open after installation, then run this procedure:    
    Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run the Command Prompt as Administrator then type in:
    netsh winsock reset, hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes… then open iTunes Store (yes, this is a repeat of the command line you ran prior to installation).
    After this procedure, you may find the iTunes Store’s “initial page” will open.  However, you may not be able to access any music within the iTunes store…   Ensure you are logged in with your name and password…
    Once you know you are logged in with your name and password, then: 
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    But wait, there’s more!  Now you need to go to the “Edit Button” of iTunes and select “Parental”.   Under “Parental”, check “Allow access to iTunes u” and then ensure iTunes Store is “unchecked”, then press “OK” to ensure this configuration “takes”.  Then, stop and restart iTunes.  You should now have a smooth running version of iTunes with full access to the iTunes store.  If not, then please modify these directions for those requiring a solid solution.  Thanks

  • I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
    You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
    If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
    If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

  • HT201210 update my ipad 3 wifi+cellular to ios7 but cant access the home screen

    update my ipad 3 wifi+cellular to ios7 but cant access the home screen

    iOS 7 is BETA software.
    As such, it cannot be discussed here.
    If you are a developer, seek assistance in the developers forums.
    If you are not a developer, you have no right to the software on the device and no right to support.  Look elsewhere.

    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?

  • I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

    I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets on the network have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer. Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

  • If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

    If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth.  Might be worth a try that way.
    However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

  • My computer cannot access the Internet, but my iPad can...

    My computer cannot access the Internet; it keeps saying "a connection timeout occurred," but my iPad is connecting fine.  I'm running OSX 10.8.2

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.

  • I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule.

    I cannot access the internet via wifi on my time capsule even thought it was shown that I am connected to the time capsule with full wifi on my iMac. I use to be able access the internet via wifi on the TC. However, after playing around with the airport utility on my iPad I was no longer able to access the internet via the wifi on myTC. How can I fix this problem?

    Did your TC recently upgrade firmware to 7.6.3?
    I recommend you do a full factory reset.. and redo the setup.
    Use different names.. SMB type.. ie short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric for everything.
    Use only WPA2 Personal security.
    If that doesn't work, give more info.
    Age of the TC.. model number.. A1xxx from the base.
    Firmware revision.
    In the computer are you getting the correct IP and router and dns values? Please post a screen shot.
