My 2nd AX will connect to TC but not AE

I have a network with a AE and an extention TC in another part of the house connected with a cable. Both are there show as create network in settings. I have an AX (1st generation) connected to the TC (1st generation) and it works fine. I wanted to connect another AX to the AE (5th generation) and have just bought one. But I can only get this AE to work with the TC but not with the AE. I have tried reconfiguring several times. I get good connectionto the AE but no internet (yellow flash).
Any suggestions?

Funny, my Airport Utility, 6.3.2, does not show the AX unit connected to the main base station.
Disregard the above statement.
I was thinking Clients, not base stations.
Yours would look like this then with your Extreme and your Time Capsule connected via ethernet.
Solid line between the two devices.
And then when you hook up both Express units you have a dotted line between both of them to the TC ?
I am curious as to what generation your TC is.
Can you also show us a diagram of your setup like I show above?

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet

My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello Bmowat,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are able to successfully connect to your Wifi network, but cannot get internet access.

IPod will connect to computer but not to iTunes (I followed the apple website guide already)

My iPod touch 4th gen WILL connect to my computer but not iTunes. I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and Apple mobile service is running, iTunes is updated and iTunes says everything is ok EXCEPT it says there is no iPod connected, but my computer says it is.
The apple diagnostic is located under the "Help" tab in the "Run Diagnostics" button.
Everything is a green light and is ready to go, except the last diagnostic which says that I do not have an iPod connected. The problem here is that I do, It is also a new iPod and when I plug it in I hear the computer beep that signifies that an external device has been connected.
My sister also has this problem connecting to the same computer (the only computer with this problem).

Have you tried everything here:

When i try to connect my iPhone 4S into iTunes through wifi or USB it will not connect the other thing is when i hook up my iPad into iTunes it will connect through wifi but not USB? Now is this a issue with my iPad and iPhone or is this iTunes?

When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??

This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

Airport will connect to network but not internet

Hi,
My MacBook air started out working beautifully on my wireless network-high download speeds, solid connection, etc... After about six hours of operation however, it has stopped being able to find the internet consistently, no matter what wireless network I try. I use a NetGear wireless hub in my room, and my laptop is able to consistently find and connect to the network (the hub is only about 3 feet away) but it cannot connect to the internet. Under network settings I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" or "Airport cannot connect to the internet." I know that the internet is working, because the network works fine for my MB Pro, iPhone, TiVo, and xBox 360. In fact, the MBA is occassionally able to find the internet and get an IP address. Sometimes this IP address allows me to load web pages extremely slow and sometimes I cannot even find google. The problem extends beyond my one network, however, as I have difficulty connecting to other wireless networks. I am on a college campus and sometimes can connect to the campus WiFi, but it again frequently connects without being able to figure out an IP address. Some help would be great.

I have a similar issue. Mine does the same thing, but only if in a specific area. If I'm sitting on my recliner with the Air on my lap, then it will connect, but I can't get to any sites. The browser just stalls.
If I move to the table that's 3 feet away from me, then the internet connects without any problems.
It could be a reception issue with me, or something. I don't know. At first it connected at very high speeds. That was before 10.5.2.
I don't know if the Leopard Update has anything to do with it, since my iMac doesn't have this problem at all. And that has an N card also.
I hope Apple is looking into this wireless issues.

Router will connect to computer but not internet

My WRT54GS will connect wirelessly to my computer,but will not connect to the internet. To get on the net, I have plug the line from the cable modem to my pc. Any suggestions?

Your router is not configured...You need to configure your router...
As your Internet Service Providor is Cable you can follow the link here this will help you configure your router...

AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
let me know for any help !!!

Macbook will connect to wireless but not the internet

My Macbook will connect to my wireless but will not follow through and connect to the internet.
I have checked the wireless setup with my iPhone and the iPhone has no problems getting on the internet.
I have checked with Network Diagnostics and cannot get green lights on the last 2 issues.
I have checked firewall settings and even reduced the level of firewall, still no joy.
I have checked the hardware with the startup disk, all hardware is OK.
Short of a complete reinstall, what else can I do to get my Macbook back on the internet.

I've got a late spring 2009 macbook, time capsule networked with an airport express extending my network. My Iphone never loses it's connection to the network. My Macbook has been dropping daily from the network. The only solution I found was physically disconnecting the time capsule and modem and restarting. This worked but was getting annoying, so I rang Apple.
They told me to go to system preferences, network, location, edit locations, add a location which comes up untitled, then click on assist and keep pressing continue, select your network and enter password. I was told to monitor the situation, but this solution should help.
Tonight my macbook dropped off the network. I went through the above solution and it reconnected, I didn't have to disconnect any of my devices. It's not ideal, but I reckon apple will release an update soon that fixes this internet drop out, reckon an automator every time internet drops using their solution solves the problem...not that i've made one.

My mac mini will connect via airport but not via ethernet.

I have had a mac mini for several months which I connect via ethernet because it is in a part of my house where the wireless signal is poor. I changed ISP and now I can connect to the router wirelessly but not via ethernet. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the network as the connection works when I connect it to my mac book. Firewall is turned off. There were no major changes to the router settings other than changing the ISP login codes.
Any ideas? Is this a configuration issue or a hardware problem?

Hi Mick,
If your router only supports 10/100 ethernet then it is possible that the auto-detect feature is not working properly to adjust to that speed. The mini has a Gigabit ethernet port. The OS by default sets the port to automatically negotiate the rate but it does not always work and the result is the problem you are having.
To fix it you wlll have to manually set the rate to 100.
To do this, open your system preferences, Select Network. Highlight the ethernet port on the sidebar, click the advanced button. Click on the Ethernet Tab, set the configure pop-up menu item to 100baseTX and click the ok button. If all works out you should see that the Ethernet port icon should turn green.
Hope this helps.

Ipod will connect to PC but not itunes

Hey, I'm having a problem with my fifth generation ipod(30gb). When I plug it in to put music on it, a message comes up and says,"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." I have installed itunes 3 times and it has never helped with the problem. I also thought thought of updating my ipod or restoring it but im not able to because an "iPo service error" comes up when I start the updater. Please help.

hi Snoop!
with those symptoms, we'd better start off with the possibilities in these documents:

Will connect to router but not internet!!!

If there is anything I absolutely detest about Apple, it's the fact that their wifi *****. I have never had problems with my PowerPC iMac, but my two intels, a macbook and my newest, a macbook pro, have ALWAYS had connection problems. One of the problems I have had with my macbook is that, when using DHCP to connect, the computer will without warning reassign completely different values for all three fields. However when i do it properly manually, it still doesn't connect to the internet. What I do to remedy this is I manually assign the proper values and quickly switch it to DHCP and then hit renew DHCP lease and wait til the right values come up on screen. Now, with my MBP, I can't even do that to make it work and my 3 year old macbook can get on just fine. I've tried everything in the book. I've even tried calling the "Geniuses" at the Apple store. They couldn't give me an answer.

sorry i said s*cks and they bleeped me out. not much of a cuss word if you ask me. Anyway, I finally figured out the problem. While the DHCP wouldn't work, I noticed my macbook has the DNS address already established. So I put it in manual and I added the DNS address and it works now. power cycling the router didn't work though so I guess its just a failure to communicate between the router and my mbp. Did I mention my router is a Netgear? I need to buy a Linksys; works so much better.

IPad will connect to iPhoto but not iTunes?

Hi All. I have an iPad 2 which I last connected to my iMac last March. I recentley updated the iMac to 10.6.8 and the iPad is running 6.0.1 (not sure if it will update any further?).
Now when I connect to to the computer it is recognised and shows in devices in iPhoto but nothing in iTunes.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

New iMac will connect to Airport but not Internet

I've just bought an Intel iMac 2.94ghz, brought it home and tried to get it onto the internet.
It sees my wireless network and connects just fine, with all bars full. But if I try to view a page in Safari, I get the 'You are not connect to the Inernet' page. I've tried restarting, turning wireless on and off, restarting my router, restarting, reseting and updating the firmware on my Airport Extreme, dumping AppleAirport kexts, disabling IPv6, renewing the DHCP lease (always comes back self-assigned) etc etc but nothing helps.
Additional info:
* my iPhone, MacBookPro and girlfriend's Windows laptop all still connect to the internet fine
* my iMac can see and connect to the other computers on the network, and vice versa
* my iMac cannot connect to my router, unless I manually assign my iMac an IP address
* if I manually assign my iMac an IP address, I can see my router, but am still 'not connected to the internet'
Has anyone got any ideas what could be wrong here, or should I be taking my iMac back to the Apple store?

Bought my iMac in February and worked fine up until about a month ago. I have assigned a manual IP address outside the range of other devices in my network (e.g. 192.168.0.10) and this seems to do the trick (most of the time). The problem I had was the self assigned IP address wasn't in the usual range for my router so while I was connected to Airport and the internet I couldn't view any webpages. Had to do the same thing to my Macbook which I purchased about a month ago.
The strange and very frustrating thing is sometimes it doesn't recognise my preferred network but then when it asks me to join a network, my network appears! When I try to connect and confirm password, connection times out. Whats that all about?
The bottom line is the assigned IP solution doesn't always work but it seems a combination of issues rather than one. None of the other devices on my network (ReadyNas Duo, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii etc) have issue connecting to the router using DHCP but for some reason Airport has trouble dealing with this and assigning a correct IP or can't find the network all together.
Only thing I can think is its some Airport update that has caused these intermittent issues and realy hope they fix it soon.
So no update but just wanted to share my experiences in what seems a very wide scale issue...

Wifi will connect to phone but not Mac. Mac connects fine on other networks.

I'm staying with my aunt and uncle over the summer, and for the first week I was here my MacBook Pro connected just fine to their wifi, and then a few days again stopped working. There is no issue with their Internet because it connects on my phone, and my Mac is able to connect just fine to the wifi at work, but for some reason it won't connect to their home Internet. I noticed when tweaking with it last night the ip was different an than my usual ip, so when I was at work today I tried copying down the normal ip and when I got back home I tried putting in the ip manually. Now it says the wifi connects but the Internet and server still don't work. Tried network diagnostics several times and cannot find an answer. Please help!

Good morning,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting. Often times, if the device isn't connecting to a specific network, then it just an odd setting on the computer.
