LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

Is your wireless network secured?
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Hi,
Uninstall drivers, from start->programs->wireless G notebook adapter->uninstall
Download latest drivers from www.linksys.com/download
Install these latest drivers, and now connect to your wireless network.
Now try to access internet.

Connected to access point but internet cannot be found????

router was working fine until it wasnt finding internet one nite and then it was unplugged so internet could be used on main computer and now when i try to plug everything back up to get wireless internet, it still says connected to access point but internet not found dont have a clue what is going on!?!

I think you were connecting to wireless router to access Internet, you need to have proper configuration on wireless router and wireless adapter to make it work, take a look on this wireless network setup tutorial to help you.

WRT 54G conected to access point but not internet

Hi There
The wireless router is working an can get to the internet on PC
My other PC see's the access point but
will not connect to the internet
Signal strengh andLink quality are good, looking at the
PCI Linksys adapter box
any thoughts?
Thanks

Whats the OS installed on your computer. In the system tray you will find the linksys monitor...right click on it and select "Use windiws XP configuration" ... once its done ... next to that you will find "Wireless Network Connection" icon ... Right click on it and select "View Available Wireless Network".... select your network... when prompted for "Network key" type in your security key and click on 'Connect' ... After this see if you are able to go online or not.

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.

Installed Snow Leopard OK, but when uploading the Mac os x Update Combined, it would not save. It said it could not connect to update server, but my internet connection is working?

Installed Snow Leopard OK, but when uploading the Mac OS X Update Combined, it would not save. It said it could not connect to update server, but my internet connection is working. Any suggestions on fixing?

Run software up date, write down the update name and version. Go to the Apple site and do a search for the updates one at a time and download them one at a time. Use an ethernet connection, sometimes software update "crushes large updates. I have experienced this before. Hope it helps. ATB

Using a mac's wireless card as an access point and hiding the SSID

Is it possible to create a wireless network on a mac that my iphone and laptop can connect to, and hide the ssid for the network and add wep protection? I really need to know how to do this.

Welcome to Apple's discussion forums!
Hiding the SSID doesn't necessarily make your network any more secure, especially if you're only using WEP. From what I understand, the SSID is broadcasted every time a computer makes a connection anyway, so hiding it really doesn't accomplish anything that can't be outsmarted by some simple SSID interception software. You really need to be using WPA2 or at least WPA in order to get a reasonable level of security.
Your Mac can only host with WEP-based security. That's acceptable for small file transfers between Macs on a temporary basis, but if you want to have a home network with some real security, you either need to buy a wireless router with WPA2 or use Ethernet. Ethernet is preferable.

My iPod Touch 4G connects to access point, but not the internet.

I'm stuck for ideas, so any help is appreciated! I've gone through the troubleshooting guide, and none of that helped. I've reset my network settings, forgetting the specific network, resetting the router, resetting the iPod, restoring it to factory settings, upgrading to the latest firmware, and nothing has worked.
Sometimes, if I forget the network and reset my iPod, it may (but not always) work for that session. Whenever I try again, I have to repeat this process and HOPE it works.
I can't try on another network because that's not available to me and won't be for a while.
This happened really randomly. Nothing changed, and it's driving me mad. Any help is appreciated a lot!

Does it connect to the internet with other networks?
- If so that indicates a problem with your router. Likely time for a new router.
- If not that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Trying for wireless network with D-Link modem, but no Internet connection

I am trying to figure out a way to use my iBook elsewhere in my house, without being physically connected to my modem. I have a SpeedStream 5100 modem, use DSl, and just got a D-Link DI-524 router. My problem is that I cannot access the configuration page for the router. When I type in 192.168.0.1, as instructed, my we b browser "times out." I also cannot "ping" this address.
I have tried multiple web browsers, have tried resetting the modem and the router, and have tried to contact D-Link and SBC for help, to no avail.
My iBook recognizes a wireless network when all of the machines are connected, but I can't get online on either machine.
As instructed by D-Link, I have changed the ISP address in my network preferences, but something doesn't seem to be working.
What am I doing wrong?
By the way, I have downloaded no firmware or drivers for the D-Link; I just hooked it up.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the cable from the modem is plugged into the WAN port; the cable from the iMac is plugged into the WLAN port (I've tried all four ports). (By the way, don't feel bad about asking; I am not the most tech-savvy.)
The IP address I have been trying to connect with the router/modem setup is 192.168.0.1. There is no way for me to input any numbers in the "router" box; it is blank.
Normally, when I connect using DSL, my IP address is different, and there is a router number there, too.
I have tried contacting D-Link's customer support via e-mail. After exchanging about three e-mails with them, they have declared me beyond their help. Ugh! I'm sure it's something simple that I'm not doing, but I just don't know what!

I have personal hotspot in my iPhone 4S I can connect to my phone but no Internet connection

I can connect to my iPhone hot spot with no problems but I have no Internet
Please help, cellular data is on, also my computer gets IP address subnet and gateway,

I'd first be sure the Hot Spot service is provisioned correctly with your cell provider. I'd then follow the restart/reset/restore troubleshooting path.

try to shut down the security setings that works for me

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.

Linksys wireless card problems

Just today, I purchased the new Airport Extreme and hooked up the wireless network to my iMac. My roommate has a PC with a new Linksys wireless card. When trying to access the iternet using the Airport Etreme, it gives an error saying that 'Cannot associate with the access point'.
Our neighbor has an unsecured wireless connection and she can use that just fine. How can we get her onto our own wireless network?
Thanks!

Per chance to you have your AX configured to NOT broadcast its "Network Name?" (Note: In the PC world, this would also be called the SSID.) If so, I would re-enable it so that it does.
As the issue is most likely Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) on your PC, I would try the following:
o In the WZC menu, remove all of the preferred networks, and then, restart the PC.
o With the AX configured for WPA Personal, add back the AX's network as your preferred network.
Did WZC find the AX's network? If not, can it find any networks in the local area? If it did not find the AX's network, did it allow you to add it? Can you PC connect to any other wireless network?

Setting wireless router as an access point

I'm trying to set up a wireless router as an access point for a wired router. The wired portion of the network is fine and the internet connection is working. The laptop sees the wireless router and can log in to it. However, the wireless router does not receive an internet connection and cannot "see" the wired portion of the network. I cannot log into the wireless router from one of the wired computers.
Below are the settings I'm using:
Wired router--Linksys BEFSR41v3
Obtain ID Automatically
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
Local DHCP enabled
Start # 192.168.0.100
RIP Disabled
UPnP off
Wirless router--Linksys WRT54GS
Automatic Conifguration DHCP
192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
DHCP Server off
Firewall/NAT off
UPnP off
Set to Router function (rather than Gateway)
I have had to set the laptop to a static IP, since it keeps revereting to a default IP. It is set to 192.168.0.102, 255.255.255.0, Gateway=192.168.0.1, DNS=192.168.0.1
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have Disabled the DHCP Server on the Router and the Changed the IP on the Router to 192.168.0.2. the only thing remaining is the Connection part that is you need the Connect the BEFSR41 router from the Number one port to the Number one of WRT54GS that should Work. Please remove the Static IP Address from the Computers.

Netctl connects to access points I've never seen before

On my laptop using netcl and auto switching profiles as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl.
Recently, and more than once, I'm connected at a public cafe and I'm suddenly no longer able to reach the internet.
When I investigate, I find that I'm no longer connected to the cafe's wifi, but I am connected to some other essid that I've never seen before. This is disconcerting for possible security reasons but also annoying to get disconnected in the middle of whatever I'm doing.
The essids that my box connects to I've never seen before. (I'm assuming the come from nearby computers.) There is no corresponding profile in /etc/netctl.
To work around the problem, I run
sudo systemctl stop [email protected]; sudo wifi-menu
then reconnect to the access point I was originally connected to.
I really don't want netctl-auto to change a connection that is working. How can I prevent this from ever happening?

That file has a long list of every wireless router I've connected to! I didn't know that was there. It duplicates a lot of information thats in /etc/netctl/... It has passwords, too. I'm not going to post it here.
But I don't see the mysterious routers in that file. The ones I find myself connected to, that I never connected to myself.
... Looking over that file again, I see a strange entry:
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
ssid=""
id_str="wlp3s0-none"
I'm going to delete that. I believe it comes from a time I connected to an essid without a name. But I'm not sure if that's the culprit.
