IP address on iPhone 169. and unable to connect to the internet
Hi, I've got an iPhone 3GS I have had no problems with it until a couple of weeks ago and for some reason I'm connected to my home Wifi but the internet is not working because the IP address is 169.
I have previously been able to get internet at home through the wifi and I've been able to get internet using friends wifi.i originally thought the wifi was being overridden by 3G but I've since realised the wifi is not picking up any internet.
I can't see anyway to manually change the IP address, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting, using airplane mode and then reconnecting, I've accessed my router and tried changing the settings but at the moment nothing has worked and I was hoping someone else might have had the same prob but been able to solve it,
thanks for any suggestions in advance!
I had same problem. I removed the back cover, and warmed wi-fi module by hairdryer of my wife). during last five days wi-fi works great. I do not know what will happen next.
during operation iphone must be turned off. time of heating is near five minutes. wifi module is located upper the battery, on the upper right corner of device.

Curve 9380 unable to connect to the internet via wifi
I'm using curve 9380 and unable to connect to the internet via my home wifi, there is no blackberry logo beside the wifi signal symbol. I don't have this probelm if I'm using my laptop or curve 8520 to connect to the internet via the same wifi router. Please help. Thank you.
Check firewall, if you're on wifi then try ethernet to rule out interference. It is likely a network issue.

If you changed the system over from another router.. have you rebooted the entire network.. particularly a cable modem.. did you power off for at least 20min..

thnxxx in advance!!!If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!
Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled. If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -
I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?
The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -

I am unable to connect to the internet because to log in i need to put in a password and to do that i need to get to a internet page. helppp
There is no web browser on the ATV, as a result, it cannot be used with such Internet connections.
Contact whomever provides support for the Wi-Fi service, they may be able to add the ATV to a whitelist to allow it to connect. -

RV042 behind P660 unable to connect to the internet
Hi,
I am a bit new to setting up dual wan router. I am currently having a Zyxel P660 Adsl router but rv042 is unable to connect to the internet as zyxel doesn't give it a I.P address. Thank you guys in advance.Hello Rashmin,
I am not that familair with the P660 but from looking over Zyxel's website it looks like a modem/router combo.
Is it possible to place the Zyxel into bridged mode, so that it only acts as a ADSL router and passes the public IP on to the RV042? You may need to call your ISP to have them do this for you.
When you are in bridged mode you will also probably have to configure the RV042's WAN port as a PPPoE connection and enter your ISP's credentials, so make sure they give you this when you speak to them about bridged mode.
With some routers it is possible to plug in another router behind them and everything sort of works. This is called a double NAT situation, and does prevent VPN from working. However not even that is working here so I would definitely see about getting that modem into bridged mode. Some ISPs also call it IP passthrough or one-to-one NAT, just tell them you want a public IP on your RV042's WAN port.
Thank you for choosing Cisco,

"Unable to connect to the internet, please try again" wifi issue
I recently recieved my blackberry storm in the mail excited to use the wifi. I set it up including entering the correct security code a number of time for the "wep" security options and it recognizes the network. I believe it's connecting also, but when I open my browser the message of "Unable to connect to the internet,please try again." pops up. I have a verizon account with a data plan, but due to not wanting to use up my data plan I switched it off as only to rely on my wifi. What can I do? I've updated everything and tried so many things. Our wifi has never done this to any other device. PLEASE HELP!
in the browser, go to the options and setthe default browser as "Hotspot browser" instead of "Internet Browser".

Unable to Connect to the internet using airport extrteme
I am unable to connect to the internet using airport extreme It was working fine with my G3 & G4 iBooks but now I am unable to connect. I am able to connect directly to my Desktop connecting directly using ethernet. I am also receiving a strong signal from the airport base station. Please help. Thank you.
Try the following, in order, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."
