Internet connection lost with EA6500 router

I'm using a fiber optic internet connection and a Linksys/Cisco EA6500 router, with unlimited internet plan. Usually (1 to 2 days), the internet connection is lost and the way to get it back is the radical way in IT: 1st: switch off the modem and the router and wait a couple of minutes; 2nd : switch on the modem and the router. I suspect that this very annoying problem is related to the router settings. Someone can help me in get over this problem?
Thanks in advance.

With this type of scenario, this will show that a reset on the router is needed to stabilize the router’s performance. One isolation step that you can try is to connect the computer straight to the modem. In that way, you will be able to determine if the connection coming from the modem is stable. Another step that you can try is to adjust the router’s mtu size by using this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=efe3edfeced9436a9f13eeebc89f90c2_4031.xml&pid=80&r.... By doing so, the router’s intermittent internet connection problem can be resolved. If in case that those steps will not improve the router’s internet connectivity, then you can consider returning and have that router replaced.

Internet connection lost with wired connection in hotel

I am in a NYC Hotel and was able to get an Internet connection on my MacBook (2 ghz intel core duo running 10.5.8) via the wifi network with extremely slow connection speed. They also offer Ethernet connection from the room so I tried that and got a very good connection upon restart. I was downloading content from the iTunes store and the connection was interrupted - Internet connection was lost. I tried redrafting again several times but to no avail. I went into network preferences and tried automatic location along with several others I have set up but cannot get it to re-connect. Built-in Ethernet is shown as connected and diagnostics shows Ethernet and network settings in green but ISP Internet and server are red. It configured using DHCP and IP address is 192.168.xx.xxx with subnet mask and router showing addresses as well. DNS Server is identical to IP address and Search Domains says "stayonline.net"
I have 2 other Ethernet connections showing on my locations that I believe are related to Parallels (some say Parallels Host-Guest & Parallels NAT and the others say Ethernet Adaptor (en2) & Ethernet Adaptor (en3)). I have tried making them inactive and re-starting but again to no avail. I don't know much about networking and just want to get my Internet connection working while I'm here. I am sending this from my iPhone and would appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks,
Allan

Sorry I meant restarting not redrafting (iPhone apparently doesn't like the word restart and changed it for me!)

CAN'T SET UP INTERNET CONNECTION WIRELESS WITH EA6500 AC1750

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYBODY. MET A PROBLEM WITH MY NEW ROUTER. I DID TRY TO CONNECT MY PC WINDOWS 8 WIRELES. IT'S SHOWS CONNECTED TO ROUTER BUT ACCESS LIMITED, NO INTERNET CONNECTION. ANY IDEAS HOW TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? I FOUND SOME INFORMATION THAT IT'S WORKS, BUT HOW?? MY LAPTOP WINDOWS 7 WORKS FINE, IPAD TOO. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP.

Hi ivan.kishkin, were you prompted for the password when you tried to connect the PC wirelessly to the router? Did you make sure to type it in correctly? You may actually try to remove preferred networks on the computer also and reconnect to the wireless network. You may refer to this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=85537a14b0214be48217c733bba9ac65_Removing_Wireless... and use the steps for Windows 7. Usually that helps.

Internet Connection Lost Once 2nd Router Added to Network

I am at a point of complete loss and frustration and absolutely cannot figure this out.
About 4 months ago, I decided to add a 2nd router to my home network. I have a large house and was having connection issues in certain spots. My set up is:
Cable Modem ---(ethernet)--> Airport Extreme --(ethernet)--> Time Capsule
I have the network set up as a single network (Time Capsule extends the network). I followed all the Apple instructions and everything set up with ease and worked flawlessly. I was able to confirm that devices would switch from the Extreme to the Time Capsule depending on location. It was wonderful. Wifi bliss in my home!
Yesterday morning, I showed that I was connected to my wifi network but I could not get any data. Airport Utility showed Green Lights next to my 2 devices but an Orange light next to "Internet" with a status of Disconnected. I assumed it was an issue on my ISP side and went through a modem reboot and some other steps before confirming that I did in fact have an internet connection (hard wired ethernet from modem to MBP). I went through the same steps as before (after restores through the Airport Utility menu) and my wifi network comes back when the Airport Extreme is connected but as soon as the Time Capsule is connected, the Airport Utility shows that I am disconnected from the internet and I have no data transfer.
After hours of soft resets, hard resets, and factory resets including changing the name of the network and resetting/unplugging the cable modem I became convinced that the Airport Extreme was the culprit (I bought it "new" open box on ebay). So I bought a brand new Airport Extreme and the same thing happened. I tried various configurations including taking the Time Capsule out of the equation and going Airport Extreme to Airport Extreme and absolutely nothing works. Bottom line: Once I add a 2nd hard wired router to extend my network, I lose my connection to the internet and it says "Disconnected" at the top point of the Airport Utility. When I have a single router connected, everything works fine (I am using it right now).
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I did not do any updates or anything odd. I just woke up one morning and something that worked for 4 months flawlessly is completely impossible to use.

I figured out the issue and resolved the problem. The Airport Extreme had WAN in from the Cable Modem and LAN out to the Time Capsule and to my DirecTV Home Cinema kit. I re-set up everything with all unnecessary LAN connections disconnected and it worked. I plug in the DirecTV LAN line and it all goes down again. It looks like the DirecTV Cinema device was frozen and causing the issue. Once I pulled the plug and rebooted it, everything went back online.
I have no idea why a frozen DirecTV Cinema device would cause this problem but it was definitely the culprit. Now I have an extra Airport Extreme. Sigh.

ASA 5505 - 2 Internet Connections, Problems with the Default Route

Hey there,
i have a Problem at a Customer Site at the moment. The customer uses an ASA 5505 with two internet connections attached to it. On the first connection (which is the only one in use at the moment) he has some Static-PAT's from Outside to Inside where he translates different services to the internal servers. He also has a site-2-site VPN terminating there and AnyConnect.
He now wants to switch the Internet Traffic from Inside to the new Internet Connection. Therefore changing the default route to that new ISPs Gateway. The problem now is, that no traffic recieved on the old "outside" Interface is transmitted back out of that old "outside" Interface. And this happens although the "same-security permit intra-interface" command is set.
Can you tell me what's wrong here? For every Static-PAT from outside to inside there is also a dynamic PAT from inside to outside. But the ASA seems to ignore this. I have not looked into the Logs yet, was too busy finding the problem because i had no real time window to test on the productive ASA.
Can it be achieved in any way? Having a default route on the ASA which leads any traffic to the second internet connection while still having connections on the first internet connection where no explicit route can be set? Because connections arrive from random IPs?
Many thanks for your help in advance!

Phillip, indeed , I have as well read may comments,it all depends on your environment as they all differ from one another, you best bet is to have a good solid plan for upgrade and fall back. You do have a justification to upgrade for features needed, so I would suggest the following:
1- Do a search again in forum for ASA code upgrades and look at comments from users that have gone through this process and note their impact in fuctionality if any. I believe this is good resource to collect information .
2- Very important , look into release notes for a particular version. For example version 8.0, look into open CAVEATS usually at the end of the link page, reading the open bugs gives you clues what has not yet been resolved for that particular code and if in fact could impact you in your environment, it is possible that a particular bug does not realy apply to your environment becuase you have yet not implemented that particualr configuration. Usually we all try to aim towards a GD (General Deployment) code which is what we all understand is most stable but not necesarily means you have to be stack in that code waiting for another GD release, in my personal experience I have upgraded our firewall from 7.2 to 8.0(3) long ago and had no issues, and recently upgraded to 8.0(4)when it was first release in August this year.
Release notes
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_release_notes_list.html
3- AS a good practice precaution -
a-Backup firewall configs in clear text as well as via tftp code.
b-Backup running code and ASDM version code currently running in firewall.
c- Save the output of " show version " to have as reference for all the feature licenses you currently have running as asll as activation keys - good info to have to compare with after upgrade.
d- Ensure that the code you will be using to upgrade also uses correct ASDM version code.
I think with thorough assesment and preparation you can indeed minimize impact.

Connection Lost with keyboard

My PPC iMac G5 keeps saying "connection lost" with a keyboard displayed. The keyboard has new batteries, is paired, and connected. When this occurs no key on the keyboard will work. I can occasionally go to a text editor and get keys to work and then it's OK for a couple of minutes, then "connection lost" again. Does anyone have any thought as to what the problem might be?

Same problem here..
I have a Imac 27 also, OSX 10.6.7
The imac is about a year old..
Everything worked perfektly untill the FIRST BATTERY CHANGE.. (about 5 months after imac was bought )
the keyboard and the magic mouse is making a really hard time for me to do my work...
however, i had this issue for a while now, and apple dont wanna do anything about it..
butthe stranges thing is that,.. for about 3 months ago the magic mousestop doing the connection lost thingi..and works perfectly as normal..(strange)
and now only the keyboard is doing it (batteries in keyboard and mouse allways 100% when i talk about this issue)
so.. bougth an Imac.. everything worked fine.. after 5 months keyboard and mouse starting to flipout..
and about 4 months after that the mouse is fine but keyboard is till flipping out! ( without me making any changes )
Still apple dont seem to care about this...
However i recomend "The Lightbulb conspirisey" - Docymentry film.
It is clear to me that apple is still using PLANED OBSOLESENS in there products,,
and they have no intrest in making sustainable products...
Making economic profit is way more relevent on apples agenda then making sustainable products..
I thought i was paying alot of EXTRA money for the apple products to get the perfection i need..
But noo, they are just masking the usual "PLANED OBSOLESENS" wich is a KEY ingrediens for expanding industries.
And i am very sad that apple dont give a F**** about atcually caring about people. rather then screwing them over...

Internet connectivity issues with SA 520W router

Hi,
We have configured Cisco Small Business Pro (SA 520W) in a small office and all computers are connected with wifi. We are facing following problems:
1. Computer is connected with network and 100% signals available but there is no internet. After repairing network from computer or sometimes rebooting computer fix the this problem. What cause internet connectivity problem?
2. Sometimes computer is connected with internet and everything work fine but suddenly there is no internet. May be internet come back again after 2 minutes etc. Strange behavior.
3. Sometime there is no internet connection even after trying all possible tuneing but internet connection become alive again if we reboot router.
All these problems appear randomly on different computers. Can anyone tell what's the reason of all these problems and how can fix it?
Thanks.
Sajjad

I have the just similar problem since few days , for long time I have no issues with wireless router
I have five static IP addresses I am using 1 static IP for the Router and other for the internal use
I though it was my inter provider technical issue,
The internet is working through provider gateway router but not through a Cisco SA520W
some times it works some time it wont resolve host name, internal LAN works perfect ,but internet drops packets and it is very slow
If we dynamically setup the router, it works but not for the static IP address
my old configuration is not saved , reset to factory defaults even then it did not work
I do have 24 port cisco switch when I login there is no gui console just blank blue screen with text boxes
I appreciate some can guide.
I believe we need the update firmware on both devices .I appreciate for the help
Thanks

Internet connection via Airport Extreme/router thats not working, why?

I have been having problems with the internet connection via Airport Extreme which I find it a bit unusual and its still driving me nuts! This is what happened:
I have lost my internet connection last Sunday evening upon my return from a weekend away from home. The last time I have used the internet connection on my macbook was the previous Friday morning. Prior to the apparent disconnection on Sunday, I have always used my internet connection wirelessly through Airport Extreme (that is connected via ethernet cable to the NETGEAR DG834v2 ADSL modem which had worked beautifully until the problem arose on my return). This wireless internet connection allowed me to surf the internet anywhere in my home.
However, upon the successful re-connection to the internet via the modem router, I have discovered several new problems. I have tried to set up the internet connection wirelessly again but instead the following happened:
1. Router (Netgear) drops ADSL connection and cannot reconnect when connected to airport via Ethernet. (which is the case when using airport wireless).
2. Router connects to ADSL fine when computer is connected to it via Ethernet. (However, router disconnects when magsafe power adapter is taken out for some inexplicable reason!)
3. Router connects to ADSL fine when nothing is connected to the router (ie. No Ethernet connections)
4. Router connects to ADSL fine when connected to airport via Ethernet and computer is connected to airport via Ethernet.
So from the above, I cannot connect to the internet properly whether wirelessly or not so I suspect it could be faulty router or could it be airport extreme? I have asked my ISP for an explanation and all they have said is that it cannot be the mis-configuration but could be to do with the power adaptors or the way plugs are set up and suggested I take out all the power plugs (and power surge protector) out to switch everything off, the macbook, router, printer and airport extreme. However, when I have re-plugged them all back in, the problems I have described above still persists!
Would appreciate any help if anyone here recognises why this is the case and what seems to be the cause of this. If so, what should I do? Though I have written back to my ISP again yesterday for more help so im waiting to hear from them...
Thanks

Internet connection lost after -Suy

I just went through a huge -Suy and I've lost the ability to connect to the internet.
I have had problems with my router lately (I've been having to restart it almost everyday to start dhcp on my pc's). However, I restarted it aobut 12 times this morning, and I can reach the internet on my webserver which wasn't upgraded recently.
The only major package upgrade that might be relevant that I can remember is udev.
I'm using the forcedeth module for networking, and I am getting a message in my 'everything.log' that says something to the effect of
Timed out while waiting for a response from a valid DHCP server.

Actually it's working just fine. For the first time ever udev has made a distinction between my two networking cards, and named my onboard networking card eth1. I changed it to use eth1 in rc.conf and now i get this
[root@sg01 sgillespie]# /etc/rc.d/network restart

WRT54G3G-ST router - no internet connection - can't reset router

Hello. Definite longer story definitely not short (I apologize for the rambling length... I don't know what is and isn't important, so scan at will, please... I am sorry...): Recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Virus Scanner and Firewall, and a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G3G-ST router with its power adapter plugged into the wall electrical outlet and a network cable from it directly connected to my computer.) got a drive-by Generic.dx trojan without me downloading anything from one of the few sites I visit daily. My internet connection crawled, and I now have no connection at all.
I've been getting help from McAfee forums very helpful and quick good volunteers... They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to me, which I downloaded from my second clean computer (a laptop) to my flash drive, then to my infected computer. I ran it, tried updating it as recommended, and only then discovered the trojan killed my broadband entirely. I scanned with it anyway, and it quickly found and removed/quarantined 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else. They then gave me a link to an offline updater patch file, and told me scan in safe mode until nothing else was found and check if it fixed my lack of broadband access. Which I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.
Next, they recommended WinsockXPFix. Which I ran and it made all its registry changes OK, I rebooted as required but still no broadband unfortunately. Did using WinsockXPFix make things worse for me with the registry changes it made? I used its registry backup to save the pre-changed registry files prior to running. Should I revert back since I still have no broadband connection? The McAfee volunteers then kindly told me I needed to hard reset the router, though I've tried countless times with no fortune. I'm at a definite loss as to what, if anything, I can do to hopefully get my broadband back, please...
It's very confusing with the numerous different variations to reset routers, and what I need to do for my router model (Variations: Unplug this cable/adapter exactly where, or not; hold the reset button between 5-30 seconds; rebooting the computer, or not; waiting 1 or 2 minutes between various steps, or not - and for all of these at what exact point in the reset process.).
I reset it once before with the reset button, routers page at http://192.168.1.1, default admin password, then changed it for security, etc; but this time I can't get it to work. I'm happy as can be to try again, to get a walk-through maybe, anything please... When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I'm offline, which is annoyingly correct. I don't have, and never had Zone Alarm, but disabling my McAfee Firewall doesn't help. IPCONFIG at the Command Prompt gives me a Windows assigned address of 169.254.X.X
I was going to use the routers Setup Wizard CD to try to reset the router, and if that failed to try to get its firmware version number to maybe upgrade. But I was going to ask here first for expert advice since I've read many things that can go wrong while upgrading firmware. However, scanning the CD (Without running the CD.) McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP.Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD. McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
   I scanned my entire computer several times and no infections were reported. I uploaded the file several times to both www.virustotal.com (39 online virus scanners), and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time every virus scanner reported no possible infections. Is my up-to-date McAfee virus scanner reporting a false positive and yet Jotti and Virustotal's 2 McAfee scanners report the file as probable clean? Is "_desktop.ini" a legitimate Linksys file? I found no information on Linksys/its forums about it. My problems just keep multiplying...mentioning of more problems...
Finding that suspect file on the CD I decided to instead download the Setup Wizard from Linksys
(Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download
Actual file: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
to my flash drive, then to my infected computer that is connected to the router. I ran it (Downloaded file version: 4.2.0.007 - Original CD Setup Wizard version: 4.0 printed on CD front.) and it immediately gave 1 of 3 options: Mobile Broadband Only, Broadband WAN Only, or Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband. I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
   It looked like it was trying to go through the entire router setup process. I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I've read in the User Guide and elsewhere - that was my understanding. The setup process stopped at only 30% done "Router not found, please make sure the router is properly connected and try again." How much overwriting of original router setup files did I do by continuing? I'm entirely confused. Doesn't the Wizard check if the router has been previously setup prior to setting it up again? Did the version difference cause my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard? Did the Generic.dx trojan that killed my broadband trash my computer settings so bad that my router is undetectable/essentially not setup?
Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable. Doing that I still had no broadband on my main usage Dell XPS computer that's connected to the Linksys router. However, my laptop, with Data Card in the router, was for the first time able to find the network - the constant connection and speed is brilliant, it's what it allways has been on the laptop (Since the trojan/router problems, my laptop only had broadband with the Data Card in the laptop.). Maybe the network cable simply wasn't re-connected properly/entirely during 1 of the many reset attempts, it indeed could also explain the downloaded Setup Wizard not being able to find the router/only getting 30% done.
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in laptop computer slot:
IP Address    = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.255
DNS Servers = 68.28.90.91
                         68.28.82.91
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in router:
IP Address    = 192.168.1.1XX
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server      = 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers      = 192.168.1.1
Since my laptop started working with the Data Card in the router I haven't tried again to reset the router, nor have I tried the downloaded Setup Wizard. I don't want to mess anything up further than I have(?) / the trojan has, and I need some expert advice, please, as to which of the 2 if either I should do (first?). On my laptop computer only, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer gets the pop-up for username and password, but I haven't proceeded. I've read you shouldn't reset the router and/or(? Is it both or just 1 please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is directly connected to the router - which my laptop is not. On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still tells me I'm offline when typing http://192.168.1.1 into it. My IP Address on it is still a Windows assigned 169.254.X.X and a Command Prompt PING 192.168.1.1 returns with "Destination host unreachable.", as it allways has and same with all other addresses (Except for 169.254.X.X).
Annoying 2nd "update" of sorts, apologies for length, as allways: I've been so focused on the trojan/broadband killing that I've cluelessly largely forgot that I have dial-up with AOL. Trying AOL dial-up also does not work, the insanity thickens... AOL software tells me to check my connection, but all phone cords are plugged in as should be. I plugged a phone directly into the wall outlet and I get a dial tone, I can call out OK, and the phone rings and gets calls OK. Device Manager-Modems-Properties-Device Status says the modem is working properly, and Resources Tab shows no conflicts. Diagnostics Tab's Query Modem looks OK to me, as does the log, but as allways I'm definitely no expert. I didn't change any settings anywhere.
   I have noticed off and on that checking IPCONFIG it says my IP Address is 192.168.1.100   It lasts maybe a day (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe longer, I don't know - I don't check that often to pin it down (Should I?). During this time neither my broadband, nor my dial-up works. I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else. I'm convinced the evil trojan killed both my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem prior. Also, I'm not convinced the trojan is not still lurking everywhere on my computer, I think it is...
Any and all help in restoring my broadband/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please... Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello. It's been entirely too long since I've replied, I'm sorry. There's no excuse, and it's terribly rude of me... You took the time to read and reply to me, and I endlessly appreciate that indeed. I apologize for my long delay, I'm sorry...
After I left my message I downloaded many virus/spyware scanners, etc. from my laptop onto my flash drive, then my other computer for some needed thorough deep scans. One that I downloaded was Network Magic, which somehow, someway fixed both my broadband/dial-up internet on my main computer that's connected to the WRT54G3G-ST router. I don't know what/how it repaired my connection, but the broadband connection/speed has been working brilliantly since... Network Magic worked for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone who has stubborn complete lack of internet problems (caused by trojans at that) as I did. There's no guarantee it'll work, but it did for me to my amazement.
Network Magic, as is Linksys, is owned by parent company Cisco. Respectfully to all the good knowledgeable experts here (Which clearly I am not.), I don't want to tread out of my bounds. I'm simply trying hopefully to be helpful and save some headaches for both you the volunteers and the users...buying a new router and/or computer was on my mind, with all due respect I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic to users if resetting the router/all else fails, please. I did use WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility prior to using Network Magic, I don't know if that matters.
I also upgraded my McAfee package, I installed over my old software instead of uninstalling first, which caused errors in the virus scanner of all critically needed things. I have it installed properly now, but it did cause quite a delay in re-focus of my time. Some of the virus scans also found many trojans, some were the same/in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to insure uninfected cleaning.
That definitely doesn't entirely explain the long lapse of time, and I apologize for that, again. It's just that I'm trying to be cautious and slow in all this. To answer the first very good idea you made: Unfortunately, there's no place on my other computer to plug the router in to, which all the more so caused frustration (at the time). I forgot to include this in my novel length post of countless things to check/remember... It was a brilliant idea though, thank you...
I thank you for your time and help, I do sincerely appreciate it... Thank you... I think, and hope this matter is solved. It seems to be, the router is working perfectly as it allways has, and I'm positively happy as can be about it. Thank you... Peace...

Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.

Self-assigned IP, no internet connection status with FIOS?

a friend just had FIOS installed at her house and after it was set up she was able to connect to the internet. i came over later in the day to join her airport express to this WiFi network by using airport utility (she wanted to have her printer available on the network). after i tried setting it up using her macbook (it failed because the WEP key used by verizon is 64 bit and apple only supports 128 bit) and rejoined the FIOS router network we lost the internet connection. in network preferences it showed a self--assigned IP address but no internet connection status. i've tried deleting this network from the joined network list, deleted the password from keychain and then rejoining the network, putting in the password when prompted. still the same "no internet connection" status. any ideas?
thanks!

Eh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved.
For future reference.
My TC is a 3rd gen.
I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
I did have AppleCare....
I'm online again and I hope for good.
Thanks a lot
PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration

WiFi Internet connection lost after iMac wakes up, what to do ?

Hi,
I used my iMac for a while with an older D-link product and Internet connection was fine. I purchased a new D-link product and whenever my iMac goes to sleep and wakes up again, I lose INternet connection although my airport icon still recognizes the network and says signal is at full strength. Apple Care can't help me.
I have a PC directly connected via wire to the same router and Internet connection is flawless so my ISP is not the problem. I use cable modem.
No it got worse. I start up my Mac, have connection but if I stay to long at the same webpage and then try another page, somehow it stalls!! Very frustrating. Anyone any ideas ?
Thx&Rgds

Have you contacted the manufacturer to determine if the problem is with them?

Internet connection lost using hughesnet modem and Airport in Time Capsule

I recently got Hughesnet which is the only available high speed internet at my home.
The problem I'm having is that my wireless connectivity is lost to all devices requiring me to unplug and plug back in my Airport...at which time I have internet again until it goes out again.
The problem does not appear to be an actual lost internet connection through my Hughesnet modem.
Any thoughts on how to fix this problem? I have reset my Airport to factory settings and named it TCwireless for simplicity.

Connecting wirelessly with a router

Hey all,
Got a question about wireless internet.
I have a Netgear router that is connected to my PC and Airport on this new Mac is picking up the signal broadcast by the router in order for me to connect to the Internet.
My question is: if I get rid of the PC, which I intend to do in the near future, will the router have to be connected to this Mac in order for me to connect to the net? Because I actually want to be able to connect wirelessly around my house without being tied down like the PC was. Furthermore, is it possible to just have the router plugged in but not connected to a computer as such and still broadcast the signal needed for me to connect to the net?
Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
No, you do not need to have any computer connected directly to your router. I assume that the router is also connected to a cable or DSL modem. This is all that is required to gain access to the internet; the modem establishes communication with your ISP's server, and the router gains a "public" IP address. The router then grants "private" IP addresses to every computer or device that connects locally within your network (regardless of whether that connection is "wired" via ethernet or wireless), and shares its single public IP address among the private addresses it manages. That's how routers work.
