IPhone connected to Apple Wireless Extreme but cannot access Internet

I have the Apple Wireless Extreme that I use to connect my MacBook Pro online, and for some reason the iPhone cannot access the Internet. I can connect to the base station, but can't go online - it's getting an IP address and I can see the DNS server addresses. I have tried no security, WEP, WPA and WPA 2 with no luck. I have to resort to connecting to someone elses wireless network so I can go online with the iPhone.
Any ideas?

I have an Airport Extreme base station using WPA2 Personal encryption for my wireless network without MAC filtering, and I connect with my network with no problems.
How many characters is your password when using WPA2 Personal encryption?
I would also try resetting your wireless network.
Power your MB and your iPhone off.
Power your Airport Extreme Base Station off, and then your modem.
Wait several minutes and then reverse the process.
Power your modem on allowing it to completely reset and connect.
Power your Airport Extreme Base Station on, allowing it to reset with the modem.
Power your iPhone on and try connecting to your wireless network.

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.

Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

I can connect to my wireless network but not the internet

Hi. I've had my iBook G4 for just about a year and it's worked fantastically... until recently. My roommate has a PC and a linksys wireless router, and I've always been able to connect wirelessly to the internet until last week. I came home from work one day, and my iBook "saw" our wireless network and could "see" other computers on the network, but could not access the internet. My roommate had no problem accessing the internet through the wi-fi on his Dell laptop. So I zapped my p-ram and fiddled with some settings, but I still had the same problem.
Next I re-installed OS X, and tried again. Still the same issue. Of course, by this time I'm getting frustrated, but then about 12 hours later I decide to try it again and it just works! Like there was never any problem....
So anyway, it worked like a dream for about a week and now I have the same exact problem again! It connects to the network but not the internet. Is this a known problem? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
-joe.

i was having the same issue with all my devices. everything would cut out and i would have to reboot my router...my internet service provider is ATT and i have a Uverse router. i went to their online support and i was able to chat with a tech support agent and they ended up changing the channel of my router and that has resolved my problem....i am currently steaming pics from my iphoto library to my apple tv and my wife is streaming music from her iphone at the same time...support tech stated that usually they have the router set to a generic channel that usually has a lot of traffic.

Connected to the Airport Express network, but cannot access internet

I am using Airport Express (n) to create a wireless network in my apartment. It is connected via ethernet to a Motorola cable modem. My Macbook and iphone are on the network and I am able to connect to the internet without issue. I have a new Samsung N120 (wireless b/g) which finds and connects to the wireless network (Signal Strenth=excellent)but I am unable to connect to the internet. My Airport settings are for n, b/g compatible. The N120 has had no trouble connecting to other wireless networks. Samsung and the Cable Company can offer no insight, hoping for the Apple experts to help me figure this one out. Thanks!

Welcome to the discussion area!
Once you have the wireless connection established from the Samsung, have you power cycled your complete network? If not, power down every device including the Samsung DVD player. Order is not important.
After a few minutes, start the modem first and let it run a few moments alone. Then power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few moments. Next, power up computers one at a time for a few minutes and check to make sure that you can establish internet connectivity. Finally, power up other devices one at a time and check for internet connectivity.
Not sure what else to suggest as your post indicates that the AirPort Express is functioning correctly.

Need Help WRT54G v5 Wireless-G Router Cannot Access Internet

Hello, we have been experiencing trouble with our router. Using our wireless router we cannot connect to the internet. We use a cable to connect the modem to the router to the computer.
This problem first occured when a buddy of mine connectred to our wireless signal with his Xbox-360 Wireless adaptor. After that we could not connect to the internet using our router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Logon to www.linksys.com/downloads and download the firmware for the router and upgrade the routers firmware and reconfigure it .

HP P1102w connected to the Airport Extreme but cannot print, always offline

OS : WIndows 7
Router : Airport Extreme
When I was using a linksys router, setting up the printer was a piece of cake, but when we move to Airport Extreme the only computer that works is the MAC book pro and the rest of the Windows Base OS doesnt work properly, esp. on a wireless setup.
I'v installed bonjour on my system and still nothing works.
I've check most of the forum with out any viable solution for this issue.
Whatever hel you can provide me with will be highly appreciated.
kind regards,

Hi @shanwein ,
I see that you are having issues with the printer working over the wireless network with the new Airport Extreme on the Windows computers, but the Mac is working. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
Just to clarify, you are networking the printer, you don't have the USB cable connected from the printer to the Airport?
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IPv4 of the printer.
Printing a Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
You might need to power cycle the router, computer and printer if it doesn't load on the Windows computers.
Run the add printer wizard from Devices and Printers, click on add a printer.
Test the printer.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Airport Express I can connect to my wireless network but not the internet.

The computer I set up my Airport express on works fine. But my other laptop in my house connects to the network but not internet. Why is this?

i was having the same issue with all my devices. everything would cut out and i would have to reboot my router...my internet service provider is ATT and i have a Uverse router. i went to their online support and i was able to chat with a tech support agent and they ended up changing the channel of my router and that has resolved my problem....i am currently steaming pics from my iphoto library to my apple tv and my wife is streaming music from her iphone at the same time...support tech stated that usually they have the router set to a generic channel that usually has a lot of traffic.

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

Connected to wifi but cannot access internet

When I am in a public place that offers wifi, My ITouch 4th generation will recognize an internet connection but will not allow me to access the internet. When I go to my settings, there will be a connection box checked, and it will show signal strength, but when I try to check my email or something a box will pop up that says no internet connection available. Is there something else I am supposed to change in the settings when I am connecting to public wifi?

Many wifi places require you first to go to their webpage to accept the terms and conditions and to maybe enter a password. You need to find out how to log in for the wifi spot you are trying to use.

I brought my ipad2 from Canada to Thailand,and put a sim card in to access wifi or 3 g, but cannot access internet is there anything I can do to fix this?

Two things:
1. Make sure the SIM card is enabled for data.
2. Make sure you are using the correct APN settings, in Settings - Cellular Data.

Connects to Airport extreme but not to internet

Whenever I close my laptop and reopen, I lose internet connection thru the airport extreme and I won't get it back. It seems that I will have connection to the Airport Extreme, but not the internet.
Sometimes what fixes it is turning the airport off and then on again (sometimes multiple times). Usually restarting the computer fixes it (but not always).
What happens is this (viewing Sysprefs/network/airport/network status and "internet connect"): the internet connect will report connecting...then will announce "connected", but show no "time elapsed" at the same time the Net status will read "airport is connected to ..network...with it's own IP address and may or may not be connected to the internet" And I won't be.
Then, when it starts working again (after the abovementioned turning off/on) it will start counting time elapsed, then in Net Status it will say "airport connected to ..network. you are connected to the internet via airport."
Also, whenever I use "internet connect" to turn the airport off, when I turn it back on again I will not have internet access, just the messages I list above. The "strenth meter" will say my signal is good (which it should be) and it says I am connected but doesn't show "elapsed time" nor will I have actual internet access.
Again, restarting the computer will usually work (less often, logging out then back in).
Another strange symptom-- When I hit the "disconnect" button under the airport section of "internet connect" it disconnects, then reconnects immediately. When I hit the disconnect button w/ in the Sysprefs/network/airport...etc, it does nothing but bring to the front window the "internet connect" window. So the only way to "disconnect" is to turn off the airport (which results in the above problem).
Side note--I am in the habit of turning off the airport (not the base, but from the computer) when I don't plan on using it for security-- am I being excessively paranoid? I do have my firewall in operation. Should I just leave it (being the airport) on all the time (in your humble opinion?
Sorry if this makes no sense or rambles, it is now 5:30 am and She Who Must Be Obeyed will be getting up in about an hour wanting to know if I fixed the computer yet. I'm tired.
Thank you in advance.

How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 won't?

How come my iMac and MacBook connect to my AirPort Extreme but my iPhone and iPad 2 don't?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I am asking if the DNS IP addresses, not the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service, are the same. DNS is like the Internet's version of the Yellow Pages. Your ISP typically will provide them to you or you can elect to use those provided by another source, like OpenDNS.
DNS is the service that translates a website's URL to its actual IP address so that you can access it. I am just trying to rule out that the PC is not configured properly with the correct DNS IP information.
The other thing to check is if the PC is configured to use a Proxy service. By default, it would not be.
Finally, what is the make & model of the PC. More importantly, if the PC is using either a PCI or USB wireless adapter, what is its make & model?
