My MacBookPro only connects to Internet via a WiFi hotspot

New MacBookPro laptop with OS 10.8.4 with Airport turned on connects via WiFi hotspot to internet but will not connect wirelessly to Internet via modem and router connected to cable service.  Will also not connect via Ethernet to modem and router to cable service.  Desktop does connect.  Any suggestions for connecting via Airport to modem and cable from MacBook Pro laptop?

  • Apple Product connection to Internet via a Wifi Router on a Class B Network

    Hi, I am trying to connect my Apple devices to the Internet on a Class B network via a WiFi Router. My devices did connect via the same Wifi Router when it was on an A Class Network (which has changed to B Class), so don't suspect router.
    Is there a configuration change required on the Router or Apple device to make it work on the B-Net?
    Any advice appreciated.
    Regards
    Matt

  • Can only connect one laptop via AEBS wifi

    i was able to use my internet service with my Apple Airport Express Base Station (AEBS) for months without any problem and it was capable of simultaneous internet sharing (via wifi) among 3 laptops without the need to enter / directed to the internet provider's portal per connection (to enter account number and service reference number for authorization - works like a username and password for the connection)
    not until their so-called "network upgrade" as stated by my internet provider's tech support - I am now only able to connect a single laptop via the AEBS
    attempting to connect the other 2 laptops simultaneously with the 1 laptop on wifi connection was unsuccessful
    can not connect more than one laptop to my internet service through the AEBS simultaneously
    and whenever one laptop tries to connect to my internet service provider (via AEBS), you are immediately directed to the internet service provider's portal to enter your Account Number and Service Ref Number - you have to go through this every time you want to connect
    i have already reset the settings of the AEBS and still, the problem persisted
    any ideas on how to resolve this issue? is the problem with my internet service provider or my AEBS?
    thanks in advance

    Sounds like they've done something to stop more than one computer sharing the internet connection. It's possible that they've done this to prevent unauthorised access (by neighbours, etc.), but it's also possible that they've done it to stop people sharing one account - an attempt to get more customers to pay extra?
    I'd be tempted to look for a new ISP if they can't help.

  • Lost connection to internet via 'airport' WiFi and 'NETGEAR WNR2000v' base router

    After trying to connect 'MacBook Pro SnowLeopard' via Fire Wire '6pin to 9pin' to new 'iMac-LION'  there is no possibility anymore to get contact to the internet, even all Network 'airport' configuration and passwords has been still the same.

But 'airport WiFi' of both Mac's are screwed up suddenly completly after working perfect for more than 1/2 year! Need some help to get it working again!

    When you use the Airport utility what happens?
    What is in the System Preferences control panel for Network settings?

    Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
    Things to consider before you begin
    Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
    When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
    The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
    You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
    You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
    If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

  • Can't connect to Internet via Airport

    I have a PPPOE ISP account. Before upgrade to Lepoard, just fine. Now I can only connect to internet using cable via my router moderm. I cannot connect my wireless router.
    The wireless router will appear to be connected but it said self assigned IP. If I hardcode an IP eg. 192.168.11.2 to it. The Airport status will become connected but still cannot dial into my PPPOE account. An message no PPPOE service will appear. But if I plug in the LAN cable, everything work fine. Why this happen? My wireless router work fine with my Window XP and my Mac (before upgrade to Lepoard) What configuration should I change? I am an idot to networking. I have download all patch and has tried boot to safe mode etc.
    Anyone can help?

    By power downs do you mean Sleep?
    One thing that might work is to set the IP to Static in Network>Configure IPv4>DHCP with Manual Address.

  • Automatically connect the Internet via dial up connection?

    Hi all,
    I am using LabVIEW 6i. I require to connect the internet via modem. I want this to be done automatically. I read some of the discussion here which discuss some AT protocols. Sorry, but I am not aware of these protocols.
    After this auto connection I want to get data from some links. I think this I could using URL property of the windows' browser. If some one has other options please let me know.
    Thanking you.
    Vishal Shah.

    I'm not sure I understand your problem. Do you want to dial up a flow controller and talk to it via
    Modbus? I am familiar with Modbus and modem connects.

    Enabling Oracle Management Service to Access My Oracle Support
    Unless online access to the Internet is strictly forbidden in your environment, Oracle Management Service should be enabled to access My Oracle Support. This access is necessary to enable updates and patches to be downloaded, for example.
    At minimum, the following URLs should be made available through the firewall:
    aru-akam.oracle.com
    ccr.oracle.com
    login.oracle.com
    support.oracle.com
    updates.oracle.com
    About the dontProxyfor Property
    When you configure the Oracle Management Service or a Management Agent to use a proxy server, it is important to understand the purpose of the dontProxyFor property, which identifies specific URL domains for which the proxy will not be used.
    For example, suppose the following were true:
    You have installed the Oracle Management Service and several Management Agents on hosts that are inside the company firewall. These hosts are in the internal .example.com and .example.us.com domains.
    You have installed several additional Management Agents on hosts that are outside the firewall. These hosts are installed in the .example.uk domain.
    You have configured Enterprise Manager to automatically check for critical software patches on My Oracle Support.
    In this scenario, you want the Oracle Management Service to connect directly to the Management Agents inside the firewall without using the proxy server. On the other hand, you want the Oracle Management Service to use the proxy server to contact the Management Agents outside the firewall, as well as the My Oracle Support site, which resides at the following URL:
    http://support.oracle.com
    The following properties will prevent the Oracle Management Service from using the proxy server for connections to the Management Agents inside the firewall. Connections to My Oracle Support and to Management Agents outside the firewall will be routed through the proxy server:
    proxyHost=proxy42.example.com
    proxyHost=80
    dontProxyFor=.example.com, .example.us.com
    PS: Cygwin has nothing to do with My Oracle Support connection. Cygwin is ONLY required for agent deployment using agent push from OMS.

  • Nokia 3230 unable to connect to internet via USB c...

    when i use CA-53 cable to connect to internet using nokia pc suite7.0.8.2 (one touch access) an error message pops up "unable to connect to the speified device make sure the modem is configured properly" but i can easily connect to internet via bluetooth   other functions like file manager , contacts , messages and back up can be accessed by using the CA-53 cable

    I called a vw dealership (in South Australia) today because I have an iphone5 and a Tiguan and experienced the same thing (after i had purchased the lightening/30pin adapter).
    I was advised that the media interface software is not compatible with iphone5.  VW will eventually update the software according to ol'mate at the dealership, but it will be at an expense to the consumer allegedly.
    I know that there is a iphone/vw media cable one can purchase from VW however, I believe this to only work with iphone4 or older?
    Maybe try an older generation ipod to use for the car if all ur music is in itunes?
    if anyone can correct me, I'd be more than happy to know... going to try my older generation ipad and see if there is any truth to the tale.... eventually.  Until then i'll stream via bluetooth :-)

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • HT4623 After ios update on my ipad mini i am unable to connect to internet via cellular connection

    i Have update ios 7.0.2 on my ipad mini. But after update of ios 7.0.2 i am unable to connect to internet via cellulau connection. Cellular connection appears on my screen but i get error as "Could not activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service". Cellular connection was working prior to ios 7.0.2 update. Please help.

    GOT MINE FIXED -
    THE 7.0.3 update reported my iPhone as LOST or STOLEN  to Verizon.
    They suspended my iPhone service immediately (as I would expect them to) and THAT is why I couldn't get on.
    Called Verizon wireless - they restored me in 30 seconds - EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN.
    They said "we've been doing this ALL MORNING."
    Hope this works for others, too!
    You blow bright orange chunks, Microsoft, er, I mean, Apple.

  • I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought iPad (today). What hardware do I need to set up wireless LAN so iPad can be used anywhere in house? Will Linksys work with Apple?

    I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought an iPad2 and need to know what hardware do I need to add wireless LAN so I can use iPad anywhere in the house. Will a Linksys router work with Apple? Can Mac be "hardwired" and iPad wireless? Probably stupid questions but I need to learn. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info. You are correct. I was speaking in general terms here based on my experience with the two devices in day to day use, and not in terms of exact specifications.
    A better choice would have been to say that the "coverage" is about the same with the edge going to the Extreme....due to the newer mutliple antenna design.
    We sure could use more help on the forums. Hope that you will become a regular.
    Hi Bob
    RF is a minefield, but one that I have worked in for ages, the most critical factor in my experience is location, location, location!
    Better routers have more intelligently designed antenna systems, output power as I said is the same, radiation pattern (coverage) is dependent on antennas and physical location more than all other factors.
