I have wireless signal, but no internet Connection

I have a wireless router, and an iBook G4, and so does my husband. I get wireless signal and internet, however my husband's ibook only get wireless signal and not internet. He has always had problems with the internet signal on his wireless. Please help!!
Thanks

I would start by reseating the Airport card. Here is directions on how to access the Airport card. The airport card has to be seated correctly to get a good signal and reliable connection. Make sure the connection is pushed in completely.
Here is another link to install the Airport card. Look at how far they have the connector and compare it to yours. That might help.

I have a signal but can not connect to internet.

Ok, I have an Ibook clamshell and an airport Graphite. The Ibook picks up a signal but when I go to Safari or Internet Explorer I get a message saying the server can not be found. Help, please?

In the opening screen of AirPort Admin Utility, check the firmware version of your Graphite base station. It should show up as "Description: Base Station Vx" where x is the firmware version. If it is earlier than 3.84, download updated firmware from this page and install it.
I found the user guide for your modem on Arris's Web site. It prompts me to suggest the following additional things:
1. Although the user guide says to use a cross-over Ethernet cable for connection to a hub or home router (as opposed to the supplied cable, presumably a straight-through Ethernet cable, for direct connection to a computer), I believe that the Graphite acts like a computer in this regard instead of like a router. In other words, the Graphite connects to a modem, hub or router using a straight-through cable, but the Graphite would need a cross-over cable to connect to a computer. Try using a straight-through cable, if you haven't already.
2. Try pushing the Reset button on the back of the modem. Use a pointed, non-metallic object to press the button. I recommend doing this while the Graphite and both computers are powered off, then start up the Graphite first, before the computers.
3. This type of modem evidently does not itself serve as a router. It has connections for two computers (one via USB, one via Ethernet), but your ability to get two Internet connections through it depends on whether your Internet service provider is willing to supply two IP addresses. (If you try resetting the modem with the pc off, as in paragraph 2 above, and the Graphite acquires a working IP address, enabling the iBook to access the Internet, but the pc then can't, that would indicate that you can receive only one connection at a time.) I suspect that this is, in fact, your problem, unless your cable provider has said that you could connect two computers to the Internet with this modem.
It would be possible to share a single Internet connection, if the pc has either wireless or Ethernet capability. If it has wireless, you could simply disconnect the pc's USB connection to the modem and have it join the Graphite's wireless network. If it has Ethernet, you might be able to connect it to the modem's Ethernet port along with the Graphite, using an Ethernet hub, but this is difficult and uncertain, as well as less secure. If the pc can handle Ethernet, you'd be better off getting a newer and better wireless base station that has 2 or more Ethernet ports, or, alternatively, a router to be inserted between the modem and both the pc and the Graphite. In any case, a base station that can use WPA or WPA2 wireless encryption would be a great improvement, as the quite insecure WEP protocol is the best the Graphite can handle.

TS1398 I am connected to my wi-fi and have full signal but im not connecting online, help please

Connected to Talk Talk wi-fi with full signal but not connecting to internet, then my connection to wi-fi goes and I try to connect again which it does but still can't load to internet, help please

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

Windows 7 Laptop Has Wireless Access but No Internet Connection

Dia duit!
Okay, I have been called to the rescue concerning my mother's HP laptop again, and for once I cannot for the life of me resolve the issue. The machine is running Windows 7 because friends don't let friends run Windows 8. She has a wireless network
connection, but no internet access when she is in Normal Mode. However, she does have access in Safe Mode with Networking. I brought my own laptop over when I came to visit, and it connects to the wireless with no trouble. My mother has tried
three different web browsers-- Firefox, Chrome, and IE-- so it doesn't seem to be a browser issue.
WHAT I'VE TRIED THUS FAR:
Naturally, given that it worked in Safe Mode, my first thought was a possible malware infection. In Safe Mode with Networking, I ran Malwarebytes and Combofix. Sixteen infections were found and removed, but none of them were particularly nasty.
Afterward I used CCleaner's registry scanner to take care of several registry issues. I then completely shut down and rebooted the computer back into Normal Mode. The same issue still persisted.
I then removed and added the wireless network connection under Network and Sharing Center>Manage Wireless Networks. The laptop still had no internet access. I toggled the wireless switch off and back on. No dice. In desperation
I finally reset the IP and DNS (cmd /c "ipconfig /release" and cmd /c "ipconfig /renew.") It still didn't fix the problem.
I have never seen this issue when one of the above measures didn't resolve it, so I would be extremely grateful for any advice.

Hello,
A few things to try:
1. Did you check Device Manager to see if the wireless adapter is listed and is enabled?
2. Did you try to un-install the wireless adapter and have the laptop scan for new hardware?
3. Is there an icon in the systray for the wireless network connection and if so, what is its state, bars or no bars with the "No" symbol?
4. Is Windows or another utility controlling wireless connections?
5. Can you hook it up via a wired connection and check HP's site for updated drivers?

Wireless signal but no connection

I have a Linksys WRT54gX2. When I make a wired connection from my modem to my computer (Vista - latest SP) I get a connection to the internet on my computer. When I run a network cord from the modem to the wireless router and then a network cord to the computer, two things happen:
I do not get a connection to the internet on my computer.
With laptops and iPods that are trying to connect wirelessly, I can see that the wireless signal exists, and the devices can connect to the signal, but no internet connection passes through.
There are no firmware updates that I can find for this device, I have powered the router on/off for 30 seconds, and I have used the reset button.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

It means to say that your modem and router are not talking to each other. You need to configure the router to talk to the modem.

Hi there can anyone help me out. I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free, anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Airport Express signal fine but no internet connection

We have been using an Airport Express for wireless Internet access and recently are unable to connect to the Internet. We use a Comcast cable modem, through a Linksys router, to the Airport Express. We can connect by network cable to the router and access the Internet, but are unable to connect wirelessly. We are getting a signal from the Airport Express (the light is green), but no Internet connectivity. We have restarted and done a hard reset (holding the reset button while plugging the Airport Express in) of the Airport Express, but it did not seem to help. The hard reset did not result in resetting the settings, so perhaps there is another way to reset it or perhaps there is another problem.
Has anyone had similar problems?

I tried power cycling the cable modem, downloading new firmware (why didn't Software Update tell me about this?), deleting the DNS servers, hard reset of AirPort Express, factory reset of AirPort Express, fiddling with AirPort Admin Utility, fiddling with AirPort Setup, all of the above in different order and different combinations, and it still would not work.
Power cycling the cable modem was one of the first things I did, and that resulted in getting Internet connection through the cable modem onto the ethernet cable; just no Internet through AirPort. Finally, after a factory reset of the AirPort Express did not help, I decided to power cycle the cable modem again, even though I had already just confirmed again that I was getting the Internet through the ethernet cable. Once the cable modem finished the power cycle, it finally worked! I was back on the Internet via AirPort!
I'm not exactly sure which solution fixed it for me, but I suspect that it didn't work at first because I did not power cycle the cable modem afterwards. In other words, if after changing AirPort settings you still are not connected to the Internet, try power cycling the cable modem. Do this every time for each change you make to the AirPort settings.
The other thing I learned is that unplugging the cable modem from the wall power outlet or turning off the power strip will NOT power cycle the cable modem properly. Instead, you must remove the power cord from the cable modem. I tried all three of these methods and for whatever reason, the only time it worked was by removing the power cord.

I have a PC with a internet connection through a modem and ever since i have had it i have had no connection to the itunes store. And even if I try to update anything it says that i need to check my connection, but my connection is fine. What should I do?

This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368

Connected to network, but no internet connection

Just returned from a one week trip to CA with my macBook. Prior to the trip everything regarding a connection to the internet worked fine... I have an Airport Extreme network set up at home. For the first five days of my trip, everything worked fine as well. Connected to several different open networks (offered by hotels and Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs). Then suddenly I could not get an internet connection with any browser (Safari, Firefox, Flock). At one particular B&B it worked flawlessly one evening, then the next morning at the same B&B, no internet. Yet I was connected OK to the open network. Moved on to another city, a different hotel and network, same problem. I was connected to the network, but no internet connection. In Safari, the blue bar would get as far as the http:, then it would hang there. Now having returned home to my Airport Extreme network, everything seems to be working fine again in all browsers. Any idea what I may have encountered for those two days? I have another trip planned in the near future, and would hate to have this happen again.

I'm sorry but I'm not posting to answer your problem but just to say that I have a very similar issue when connected to my home network through either wireless or ethernet- connection is erratic and pages hang despite showing an excellent signal strength. I have a divided drive and have windows installed on my Macbook. I have no problems on the windows side. My friends who have ipods and iphones have similar problems connecting to my home network. I have no problems connecting wirelessly to any other network that I've tried. This is a real shame as I want to use Mac software but end up in Windows all the time. Any light anyone can shed on this would be very welcome.

Airport Says It's Connected -- But No Internet Connection...

This is driving me mad...
We're using Airport to connect a 12" PowerBook G4 (10.4.11) to a WirelessLAN (the modem is an Arcor A300 WLAN -- a German make)
We had been having no problems until it one day said "you are not connected to the internet".
I've tried all the restarting the modem rigamarole, and the PB can connect via Ethernet. Opening Internet connect, Airport signal strength is 100%, it states that it's connected to the Arcor modem.
Under System Preferences / Network it states "You are connected to the internet via Airport"
Also, I can see the PowerBook mounted in My Mac Pro's Finder...so it must be connecting wirelessly to the Arcor box --- My Mac Pro is connected to the Arcor Box via Ethernet cable.
Anyone got any ideas, suggestions as to what's going on?
TIA,

I am having a very similar problem with one of the iMacs here at our office on AirPort. We have four machines using an Airport Extreme, but only one has this issue--a full set of connection bars and access to everything else that is shared, but the internet connection keeps dropping every 15-20 minutes and won't reconnect. From the Airport icon we turn off the Airport, then connect again and it works fine for another 15 minutes until it quits again. I finally had to use a cable to hard-connect that computer to our network and now it works fine, so it can't be the computer itself.
What to do? I'm afraid this problem will start with the other machines, as well. Can anyone assist?

New iMac running lion 10.7.2...partitioned drive for windows xp pro ...successfully installed...up and running(duel boot) but no internet connection on windows side...need drivers?.....please help

new imac running lion 10.7.2 partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers???? please help

I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
Hope that helps

Airport network connected on full bars but "no internet connection" and missing lock icon!

this is really frustrating!
I'm using wireless in my house. when i click on my network it connects and it shows perfect connection which is full bars.
on Network Preferences it says that i'm connected to the Airport but when i go to Safari it shows "You are not connected to the Internet" so i click on Network Diagnostic where the 3 network status on top has the green indicator but the ISP, Internet and Server show red and failed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my internet connection since I'm able to go online using my sister's computer and also on my iPhone.
There's also usually a Lock icon/symbol next to my network's name but when i'm connected to my network the Lock icon seems to be missing but it still shows full bars connection. I really don't get how it's possible to be connected to a network, but no internet connection, while i can access the internet on other devices.
Please help me out here. I've tried ways like going to library>preferences then put the system configuration into Trash, and going to Network Preferences and removing the Airport service and creating a new one.
and one more thing. all mentioned above are when i clicked on Advanced on network preferences then i clicked on TCP/IP and changed the Configure IPv4 from Using DHCP to Manually. When i'm back to using DHCP there's an exclamation point over the airport icon on the top bar and it says no internet connection.

Got my own question answered by a colleague.
He had me create another "Location" in the network pane of System Preferences, then choose it and click Apply. I created a new location which I called 'Airport', chose it and clicked Apply and sure enough, an IP address showed up and all is well.
Justin said it's a network bug in Leopard.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.
