MacBook won't load Internet on wireless but works with ethernet

My macbook wont load any web pages. It is connected to my wifi network and it says my Internet connection is good under my network settings. All my other devices on the network have no issues (ipad2, 2-iPhone 4's and 2-PS3s). Also when I connect my MacBook to my router with an Ethernet cable it loads any and all web pages instantly. I also tried installing Firefox thinking it may have been an issue with safari. No luck there. The issue was intermittent at first and would require I restart my computer/router and then issue would be corrected. Now the internet wont load any pages at all. I also tried zapping the PRAM, flushing the DNS cache, removing files from the system config folder under Library/Preferences/system configuration and a few other things I can't exactly remember. My MacBook is up to date, my routers firmware is up to date. I even tried tethering my MacBook to my iPhone via wireless Internet and still could not load any websites. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Try this, might or might not work depending on the issue.
Turn off your wifi.
Go to your network preference, click on advance, the you will see the name of your network (router's name), delete that.
Now try to detect it again with your MB's wifi.  You have to re enter your password if you have one.
See if that solves your problem.

  • PS3 DNS Error with WR54GL wireless but works with BEFVP41 Wired router?

    I have the following network set up,
    Modem - BEFVP41 Router (all filled up) - a switch (all filled up as well) - WR54GL wireless router (set up as a switch) - PS3.  
    I have 2 pc's connected to the BEFVP41, one pc connected to WR54GL and 3 laptops via wi fi working off the WR54GL as well.
    Everything works fine with the exception of PS3. It is able to obtain the IP address but returns a DNS error when testing the internet connection.
    When I wire the PS3 directly to the BEFVP41 router it works flawlessly.  But if I try to set up to work via the wireless WR54GL it fails every time and returns the DNS error.
    I have the latest firmare for both routers as well as the PS3.
    This leads me to believe there is an issue between the PS3 and the wireless router or some sort of networking issue between the wireless router and the main router. Im not a network buff, matter of fact i know very little about this so i really dont know where and what settings to adjust or even where to begin the trouble shooting. 
    Any suggestions? Do I need to do port forwarding or whatever or adjust some dns settings in the wireless router? Any guidance is appreciated.

    First you can login to your wired Router (BEFVP41) and find out the DNS adress on Status Tab.
    Then you can manully set Static Ip to your PS3 in the range of Router and Give Static DNS and Test the Connections.

  • My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP the wireless goes down on the other Windows computer being used in the same house.  Is there a way for both of us to get wireless internet or do one of us have to be connected by the ethernet?

    My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP, the wireless on the other computers in the house (which is Windows and WPA) stops working. My computer works with the ethernet cord but I want to be wireless too!  Do one of us have to sacrifice our wireless?

    For assistance in getting your MacBook to connect to a WEP-protected wireless network, please check out this Apple Support article: AirPort: Joining an encrypted WEP or WPA Wi-Fi network

    Hi  sparhk, and welcome.
    One of the Lenovo staff who frequents the forum put out a call to help you in a private forum.  I do a little Linux, so I poked into it.  To my amazement my first Google hit was your thread where you indicate you have solved the problem.  (At least, it _looks_ like you...)
    May I respectfully suggest that a post back here indicating success would be a nice touch?  That way anyone who passes by looking for help with this issue will have a better chance of finding it.  For posterity, here it is (see post number 25):

  • Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

    Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

    Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme.  Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE:  The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods.  However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.
