Moved AirPort Extreme and now it won't connect to the internet

I have moved my base station on previous occassions with no problems--plug and play if you will.
I just moved it to a new location and while the computers in the house recognize the wireless network with no problems, the base station no longer successfully connects to the internet.
I have plugged my MacBook Pro directly to my cable modem and confirmed that the internet still works perfectly well to the house. Plugging that same cable into the base station does not bring the internet up.
I've used the AirPort Utility to act like I'm starting from scratch.
I've chosen Manual configuration and replicated all the data from the MacBook's succesful hookup with no success.
I have manually reset the base station and tried the above again, no success.
Any other ideas? It seems too coincidental to me that there could be an actual hardware issue (everything was perfect right before I moved it (I know, I know--that begs the question, why'd you move it? I should say everything was good, except for one room in the house received a weak signal, so I wanted it to be more centrally located)) that arose just as I moved it. My guess is I just need a little tweak to a setting or something but I can't say I understand what all this DHCP stuff is about.
Thanks for your help!

Most cable modems require that you power them off whenever you switch the Ethernet connection from one device to another. The cable modem will refuse to communicate with the new device if you do not do this.
Did you power off/on the cable modem when you switched the connection from the MacBook Pro to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)?
Some cable modems have a reset switch for this task.
Some cable modems have an internal battery which must be removed to do this reset.
Sometimes the cable modem must be left turned off for several hours or even overnight to reset equipment back at the ISP's office.

Updated itouch and now it won't connect to the internet.

I updated my itouch software to 3.0 when I plugged my touch into the computer today. My music and everything synced as normal, but when i ejected the itouch it would no longer connect to wifi. This happened to my brother's earlier in the week and apple replaced his.
I restored my ipod and that did not help at all. I just lost all my apps and music. Does any one have any tips to make this work? THANKS so much

Also, you should reset your network settings on your touch. I'm not sure what prompted you to restore your iPod, but if you want your music and apps back, you need to sync the touch with your library.

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I just downloaded the new software to my iPad but now it won't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this?

Have you tried to reboot your router? Unplug it, count to 30, plug it back in and let it reboot. Also you may want to go into your settings on your iPad and 'reset network settings'.
In case the update messed something up, letting the devices reboot sometimes helps.

HT202157 I updated my apple tv and now it will not connect to the internet

please HELP me make my appple tv work again. I have done the most recient update on it and now it will not connect to the internet :/

    1.    First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
    2.    If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings).You should also try restarting your router.
    3.    If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

I downloaded an update and now Firefox does not connect to the Internet. Having downloaded it again and again without avail, what do I do?

Firefox has gone haywire and won't connect to the Internet. I was prompted to install one of your updates and I did. Afterwards, it would no longer connect. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, but still I cannot connect to the Internet. My OS is Windows 7

After a Firefox upgrade/update, your firewall may not recognize that new version and will not allow access to the internet; that is your firewall doing its job. You may need to
#close Firefox (Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit)
#remove permissions for Firefox from your firewall's programs list
#restart Firefox
#allow your firewall to detect the new version and give the permissions needed by your firewall for Firefox to access the internet.

My PC can connect to the airport extreme but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues, any help.

My PC can connect to the new airport extreme I just purchased but with encryption it cannot connect to the internet my iMac has no issues. If I open the airport exteme up and provide no security everything is fine which leads me to believe it is something with the encryption between the two devices. Not sure what step I'm missing here this shouldn't be this difficult.

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?

I hard re-set my airport extreme, and now it won't come back. Keeps flashing amber for ever!!! help

I forgot my network password, so I attempted to hard set my aiport extreme. Now I can not get it to come back to green. Won't stop flashing amber. Have tried to re-set and un-plug several times to see if I can bring it back and no luck. Anybody have any suggesions?

Sometimes you just have to perform the reset multiple times to get it to "stick." If after multple attempts, it still does not reset properly, it may be possible that your AirPort has failed.

Updated ITunes and now it won't coonect to the internet

Please help..... I updated my ITunes on my computer on Saturday and ever since I get an error message saying that "ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE MUSIC STORE. THE NETWORK CONNECTION WAS REFUSED. MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE, THEN TRY AGAIN."
Everything else on my computer works fine, including the internet and nothing has changed. What can I do?????
THNX!!!!
Dell Windows XP

OK -- I'm back. I am the original poster on this thread.
In brief ---the status is "No Change". Note that technically I can connect to iTunes via the Internet, but it's useless -- I can't buy anything.
Since my last posting I have uninstalled iTunes version 6.0.4.2. After the uninstall I re-booted and verified that it was truly gone. Note however, my library of downloaded music remained OK. That was a relief.
I installed the prior version, and subsequently found the same problem. To summarize, iTunes works in all respects, except for the ability to purchase music from iTunes. In fact, the performance is fine -- it's as fast as ever, which is actualy kind of slow, but still bearable.
I've given my Registry a thorough scrubbing (I'm very compter literate), all to no avail.
I also ran an interesting test -- On one attempt to purchase (the "Buy Now" button, I deliberately entered an incorrect password. iTunes IMMEDIATELY flagged it as NG, after which I entered the correct password, and iTunes seemingly started to download my purchase.
But it didn't --
My favorite error message is this one --
“Could not purchase the items in your cart.
An unknown error occurred. (-50)
There was an error in the Music Store.
Please try again later.”
Believe it or not, this error makes me laugh, even as I grit my teeth. With this messaye Apple clearly inicates that (a) the problem is their fauilt, and (b) they don't understand it any better than we do.
HERE IT IS -- Apple is in busines with iTunes to sell music, but they have an error that (a) totally blocke that capability, (b) they admit it is their fault, (c) they don;t know what to do, and (d) they screw the customer.
An UNKNOWN ERROR ? Come on, Apple -- in well written, robust software there ain't no such thing. This message just indicates that the people at iTunes are clueless about their software. Who developed it?
Another thing -- the error message tends to vary among three different messages. Is Apple tweaking the operating software trying helplessly to make it work? Seems like that is the case. Well, in a high quality software environment you DO NOT tweak the on-line system. You have an offline develoment and test environment with real software engineering tools. This is amateur stuff -- like software written by talanted, but totally inexperienced high school kids.
This has been going on since the beginning of June.
Apples promises reponses to eMails within 24 hours. No way. I have not received a single response so far.
Their web site alludes to "World Class Support" Who is kidding who? We all know this is not so, but somehow I think Apple really believes it.
Keep the replies coming. If this threaad gets big enough someone at Apple may actually read it. If it gets up to over a hundred replies PC Week of PC Magazine might find it of compelling interest.
I really want to keep using iTunes as I already have a large collection iniTunes, and I want to keey my collection in a single environment.
Just in case, I've taken my trusty 35mm camera and taken pictures on my iTunes Shopping List. That way I can go elsewhere if I need to.
Rhapsody looks positively awful, and Napster seems to have a large amoung to complaints. Stil, I'm looking.
Keep those letters coming folks. Let's build up a compelling case, right here in this thread. Tell your friends about this thread.
Thanks.

I upgraded to 4RC and now I can't connect to the internet at all.

I deleted Firefox, and now even with IE, it won't connect. With Firefox, it was saying something about the proxy settings, now with IE, it says the remote device or resource won't accept the connection. Please help!!

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

Airport Extreme: Does it need to be connected to the internet to function?

I'm dealing with some wireless connectivity issues and I'll post a new thread once about that once I confirm that the issue isn't originating with my ISP. But for now I want to know:
*Should the AEBS still function to provide wireless connectivity between devices on my network if the cable-modem is unplugged?* For now when I unplug the cable modem, my wireless network disappears.
Thanks for the help!

I am having the same problem as well. It used to work as you would expect but clearly something has changed in one of the recent patches.
