My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet
My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.
I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme. The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine. I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

Airport extreme n not connecting to the internet but green light is on
Original configuration worked until a few days ago like this... Cable modem (RCA Digital by Comcast Model DHg535-2) ran into airport extreme N... into a D-Link DGS-2208 8 port switch... off to 8 different macs / printers/apple tv's/ and wireless macbook pro. Perfect.
Dilemma now. Cable modem running direct to main IMAC and works fine connecting through DHCP and active ip address. Ethernet shows green light in system preferences and connected. Unhook the line to the Mac and into the airport. Airport lights up green, bars show as connected, my original apple network is showing and connected w green light on airport and in system network preferences. Once this is done i can not access internet pages and they just spin on "loading". Hardline from airport extreme is connected to the IMAC and still no internet. Wireless shows up on macbook but still states "Loading".
Step one - connect to internet through direct line cable model. WORKS
Step two - connect to internet through direct wire through model/airport. No
Step three - connect through wireless - No
Step four - reestablish my switch and get everything back on line - Nope.
BunceThe problem may be when you switch what is connected to the modem by just unplugging and replugging devices.
Any time you change network configuration, you should perform a complete power recycle of all of the network equipment to make sure that they are both "recognized" and initialized properly.
Please try the following:
o Power-down the modem, 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), D-Link switch, & computer(s)/printer(s). Wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
o While the power is off, reconfigure your network to include the AEBSn.
o Power-on the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-on the D-Link switch; wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computers/printers. -
My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?
Welcome to the support community group.
First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop. Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power. Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop. Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility. Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
Check back if you're still having problems. -
My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -
My iPad2 will not connect to the internet, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I've run the AirPort utility and it shows that I'm connected to my Wi-Fi. The connection works with both my iMac and iPhone. I'm concerned that the problem is with hardware rather than software.
Try the following:
1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo -
Cant' get my AirPort to sync up with internet. I get the message "AirPort has the self addressed IP address 169.254.231.99 and will not connect to the internet. How do I fix? Thanks.
What broadband router do you have?
What model Time Capsule do you have?
If you changed the system over from another router.. have you rebooted the entire network.. particularly a cable modem.. did you power off for at least 20min..
Tell us some info and we can help. -

Every time my MacBook Pro is put to sleep, it will not connect to the internet upon reopening unless I perform diagnostic assistant.
Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. Reinstall OS X. -
My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi yet all other devices do
My MacBook pro will not connect to the Internet through wifi. I have several other wifi enabled devices and they are all connected to the Internet just fine... What could/would cause this?
Disable your AirPort and enable in a second. Or check, maybe you need to type in correct digits in; Settings/Network/Advanced/Configure...

PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet
I am normally a very mac savy person, but I cannot get this to work...
I have an Airport Express connected to speakers, a USB printer and an ethernet hub, which is connected to a cable modem and also a PowerMac G4 via ethernet. There is also a wireless iMac thrown into the mix. All hardware has up-to-date software.
The wireless iMac gets online, prints and plays music wirelessly.
The wired PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet, it is killing me.
I have gone through all the settings and cannot figure this one out. I really appreciate all advice.
Thanks,

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Leaving the other peripherals out, tell us the connection sequence from the G4 outbound.
Also, you might gain more insight at the Networking Forum

The network can see the macs and the macs can see the network......but the macs can't see the internet.Hi Duncan
MacFixit recently posted a report for subscribers testing 3rd party routers for Mac compatibility. 3 Routers did not do very well in the test:
From their report:
Routers:
MacSense [Fair]
Expressed support for Macs
Somewhat confusing process for installing firmware updates under Mac OS X
Manuals still show only Mac OS 9 screenshots/instruction
D-Link [Fair]
Mac-specific section on Web site with ostensibly compatible routers
Lack of Mac technical support
Firmware updates appear to apply specifically to Windows-related issues
Mac-specific "Quick Install" guides missing for most wireless router models -- even those listed in the Mac section
Some routers must be configured only with Firefox or an alternative browser -- Safari will not work
Reader comment: "I recently exchanged email with their tech support and was specifically informed that D-Link does not support Macs for any of their products and specifically does not recommend their use on Macs. Although many D-Link products will work on a Mac, as a user you are on your own. D-Link will not provide any direct or indirect support according to their tech support."
Linksys [Poor]
Technically Mac-compatible but lacking in Mac-specific documentation or setup software
No Mac technical support
Thought this info might be useful as you look into your router situation.

Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment.
Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment. I live with 5 other people and it works for all of them. It worked for me until about 3 weeks ago. My internet works fine at other places like cafes or other folks' homes. I've tried many things but am having no luck at all. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks!
Some routers (such as my Netgear) seem to work better if you input your device's MAC address manually while on their online site. That site address should be in the manual and usually starts with something like 192.168.x.x Once on that site, input your Mac's address - a series of numbers and letters i.e. 2f.3c.45.2a.xx.xx (go to Network Preference Pane, select Airport, click on Options: at the bottom it shows "airport ID". I have all my devices listed; with that you can create a special IP address i.e.192.168.1.1, .2, .3, and so on. I've never lost connection using that method.

My clamshell ibook running on ios 9 will not connect to the internet
my clamshell ibook running on ios 9 will not connect to the internet with airport i typed in the right passwords and it says an error occured and even if i type the right password it says it is wrong i need help.
Most likely your router uses a wireless standard that is too new for the AirPort card in your iBook to communicate with.

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed
My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed. (Rather, I should say
it 'connects', then immediately disconnects.) When I had regular DSL, there was no problem, but since UVerse installation,
I can connect ONLY with the ethernet cable.
Thinking it was my 'old' computer, I took it to the local computer place---they were able to connect instantly (wirelessly) AND maintain connection. Sooo...I've told this to ATT, & had 2 different techs out here, both of whom were very patient & tried EVERYTHING they could think of, & both of whom failed to fix the problem. They maintain that it is NOT the fault of the modem/router, but is some 'miscommunication' between my laptop & the modem/router.
Is that possible? Is there a setting I need to change on the laptop? If it worked BEFORE UVerse, and if it STILL works at the Computer store, and if it works WITH the cable, why won't it connect wirelessly?
Thank you SO much for any thoughts!It is possible. While it's not common, sometimes you could have a working router and a working wireless card in a laptop, but they just don't communicate. It sounds like that might be the problem unfortunately.
