My wifi is connected but doesn't work

The download speeds on my iPhone 4 via wifi dropped from 18+ Meg's to .23 Meg's
The upload speeds are good at about 7.8 Meg's and holding.
My phone always shows signal and connection and doesn't
Disconnect at all. I have had this phone for a year and this issue started the
Beginning of dec. Is there a seperate transmit and receive antena?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

The wifi is connected I've verified this by enabling airplane mode.
The icon for wifi is on and I can pass limited traffic.
(see former post). Turned off cellular data and 3G too.
I get .23 on the download and 7.9 on the upload.
So I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the wifi access point.
I'm showing the phones Mac address in the routers arp table too.
4 laptops, 2 other iPhones and 2 iPod touches all connect to this same
Access point with speed test results from 10-18 Mbps On the download.
3-8 Mbps on the upload.

Reset network settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings.
Then re-connect to WifI by setting it up again.

Wifi shows connected but doesn't work

My iPhone 4 shows that it is connected to my home network, but the wifi doesn't work. I know that the router is working because another computer on the network is working fine.

Try following:
Delete the WiFi network from your iPhone.
Disconnect the WiFi router from the power cord, let it be a few minutes, then reconnect.
Reset the iPhone by holding the Power button and the Home button at the same time, keep holding, ingnore everything on the screen, until you see the white Apple logo, then let go and let the iPhone restart. Set the WiFi t on and put in the password.
That should do it.

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

IPod Touch 3G Wifi Problem...says it is connected but doesn't work?

After my iPod connects to a network for wifi, it says that it is connected to that network, and the wifi symbol appears in the top left hand corner to show that it is connected. But, whenever I try to go to Safari or another app involving the internet, the iPod says "invalid argument" and the internet doesn't work at all. How do i fix this problem?

Have you tried the basic troubleshooting here?

First try:
- powering off and then a minute later power back on your router.
- Reset network settings on your iPod: Settings>General>Reset
- Resetting youriPod

Wi-fi "connected" but doesn't work

i have wi-fi that has worked great with my iPhone but now it shows that it connects but wen i try to use the browser or any web based application it will not work... i have reseted my iphone, removed and replaced the sim card, changed and reseted the wi-fi web settings etc. and it still won't work...can anybody help this is very urgent.

Same here. Email and safari work only with edge. My wifi is connected however it doesn't connect to anything outside my own network(i.e I can use Airmouse or istat but it won't download emails or open web pages). I've checked the router but that all seems correct and the other computers in the house connect ok.
I did have an app upgrade for firmware v3.0, could this possibly be the cause?
Did you get a solution?

Networks connects, but doesn't work

I work at a hospital and one of our patients has a macbook. We setup a wireless account for him and he connects fine (Sees cisco wap/gets correct ip address), but he can't get to anything. His email client hangs and Safari never connects to the web. I tried pinging, but even that doesn't work. Turning off the enthernet port didn't help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Mighty Mouse Connects but doesn't work

Since I installed my Wacom Intuos 4 My mouse hasn't worked properly. It connects, but when I check the green light, it flashes twice over and over. Can anyone help?

Hello m:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I do not have a tablet installed so I am guessing.
The Wacom web site does indicate that both a mouse and tablet may be connected, but only one at a time.
Try a couple of things One at a time):
Be sure you have the latest driver from Wacom.
1. Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
2. Delete the mouse, restart, and see if it connects and pairs.

N80 WiFi Connects but doesn't work

My new N80ie connects to my ACTIONTEC AP but won't connect to any websites or e-mail servers. It simply says 'Connecting' for ever until I press 'Cancel'. This AP is Public & Open, having no security.
At work, I have a Cisco AP running WEP. My N80 detects that AP and prompts for the password but will not connect.
Can anyone help? I thought the N80 would detect and connect to ANY AP once security was passed.

Internet connects, but doesn't work properly

I know there are a lot of topics on this, but mine is pretty specific. I'm using a Macbook I bought last August (Model Identifier MacBook4,1) and running OS 10.5.6 (I can't update to 10.5.7 because I`m having trouble connecting. Recently I noticed a bit of lag between the time my computer appeared to connect to networks via built-in aiport (the airport signal would turn dark in the top right hand corner with and show my signal strength) and when the the computer was actually able to transfer data from the internet (i.e. web pages wouldn't load on browsers and other applications faild to load data and stated there was no connection to the interent). It didn't seem to matter much what network I was logging onto (my home network, my school's, or a wifi hotspot. I'm not great with wireless networking, but I've used macs all my life and and know how to use them very well. I could usually fix the problem by quiting all apps and waiting a few minutes or restarting my computer. I recently arrived in Costa Rica to study abroad, and much to my dismay the problem has worsened. There aren't many places to access the interent here, but the school I am studying at and a cafe have wifi. When I try to connect it my computer has three problems. Sometimes it does't recognize the network even when I am right next to the modem where the signal is strongest. When I search for a network enough times it eventually recognizes the network though. Once I find the network when I click to connect it sometimes starts connecting then just stops before connecting. If I click to connect to the network enough times it eventually connects. When I am supposedly connected it my computer can't trasfer data. When I click on Network Diagnostic it at the Network Settings stage a window pops up stating the Network COnfiguration has changed. The internet the works for a minute or two before once again discontinuing the trasfer of data while inciating I am still connected. I have tried restoring network settings to defaults, but this doesn't change anything. Neither network requires a password. Two fellow students with the same model of MacBooks have been able to connect without problems. We've tried looking at all of my settings and haven't been able to figure out what's wrong. I have a nagging suspicion that my airport card may just be shot. I will be here for most of the summer and I'm pretty sure that my waranty expires while I'm here. There is an Apple store in San Jose about 30 minutes from where I'm staying. So my questions are: 1. Does anyone know how to fix my computer, because I would really like to use it to comunicate with my family? and 2. If it is defective can I take it to the Apple store here even though I purchased it in St. Louis, Mo USA (I've found that my battery is defective already though these forums because only one thread had my specific problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month until I return to the States without paying to extend the warranty 1-3 years (being a student who's already taking out loans to study abroad I don't have much cash on hand nowdays)?

Try connecting to a network with an ethernet cable and see how it performs. If that is also not responding this would indicate a possible software error.
problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month
Apple does not cover batteries under warranty as batteries do loose their capacity over time. If a battery suddenly stops working then apple may look into that. You would have to speak to apple care about that.
You cannot extend a warranty for 1 month you could purchase apple care and get 2 years of extended warranty. Although if the problem is reported to apple care prior to your warranty expiring then you may be ok, but I stress you would have to talk to apple care directly about this.
Why not take the mac into the apple store I am sure you can make an appointment to see an apple genius anywhere in the world.

Wifi is connected but won't work

I have an iphone 4. I recently got internet back up at my home using an older wireless router. At first my wifi worked, but then we tried to hook up a older imac osx computer to the same router. After this my wifi just stopped working. I've disconnected my cable modem and also the wireless router, and reset my network settings on my iphone. It still does not work. I know there is a problem if my ip address on my iphone starts with 169 BUT, my ip address nor the subnet mask, router or DNS shows information to know if i have this problem.
Overall, my iphone picks up the wireless, has a check next to the network, but the wifi signal on my homescreen doesn't display even though i have the check. It just still has the "E"
please help!

I was trying to update the firmware, but when i tried to download it from the linksys website it downloads but my computer doesn't recognize what to open the file up with. Does it matter if i'm trying to update the firmware if i'm not using the original computer that i've first hooked the router up to?

Ipod sayd connected, but doesn't work.

My brand new Ipod touch says that is connected to wifi, but when ever I try to get on Safari, It says, "Safari canot open the page because it is not connected to the internet." What do I do?

Hi there "goonts",
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Now then, connecting to the internet is actually fairly straight forward, most people do it without really trying but it is very long winded to explain.
You haven't given much information in your post and I really don't want to start a thread of "to and fro" posts which starts something like -
Me - "is your router turned on?"
You - "What is a router?"
The fact you see "three bars" is a start but only means that your Touch is detecting a WiFi signal, not actually connected.
The best advice I can give at the moment is read through this post here -
[dowinitjr's wifi guide|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1315137&tstart=0]
Take your time and I'm sure you will be set up in no time.

VPN PPTP Connects but doesn't work

Hello,
I'm new in mac...but last week when Im connected to my work by pptp VPN, i could not access to the resources of this network (servers, pc, etc.)...but few weeks ago I can do it as ussual. I didnt install anythink and if I send all packets to the vpn works, but i can't get internet..
I think some route preference change automatically but i don't how to fix it. any helps?
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dario.

OK - this is how you can fix the problem.
make a backup copy of your network id pref list, perhaps using the command line as below from a terminal window.
cp /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.idenfication.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.idenfication.plist.o ld
open Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.idenfication.plist using a TEXT editor or something similar.
Open the network settings screen where your VPN is listed (under System Preferences) and make a note of your VPN settings. Then delete the VPN using the "-" button and click Apply.
In the com.apple.network.idenfication.plist you will see the the defintion for the VPN settings a little like thus:
<dict>
<key>Signatures</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Identifier</key>
<string>VPN.RemoteAddress=myvpn.domain.com</string>
<key>Services</key>
then lots of settings info, and ending with the definition of a new service
</array>
<key>Signature</key>
<string>VPN.RemoteAddress=myvpn.domain.com</string>
<key>Timestamp</key>
<date>2009-09-01T06:42:53Z</date>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>Identifier</key>
Delete everything and including between the <dict> and </dict> for this Identifier and this will remove the VPN settings and leave all the others intact.
Save the file.
Now go back to your network settings screen and re add the you VPN and it will work once again as it did before.

Iphone 4s upgraded IOS from 5.1.1 to 6.1.1. WIFI it's unusable. Phone it's connected, but doesn't navigate.... or navigate like a SNAIL.

HI, Sorry for my BAD english, I'm Italian. I have an Iphone 4s.. four day ago, I upgraded my IOS from 5.1.1 to 6.1.1 (thinking that 6.1.1 was mature). This is WORST decision I was made. WIFI it's unusable. iPhone it's connected, but doesn't navigate.... or navigate like a SNAIL.
I'm a computer technician and cisco CCNP... after some speedy try, I was able to use WIFI with WEP and not with WPA....
Best result was with an 802.11/B AP with 128bit WEP (no problem at ALL)....... I think there is a problem IOS - WPA and 802.11G AP...
I hope this can help some user...... for me it's absolutely USELESS info because all my customer uses different AP with different encription so I CAN'T use anymore my phone.... I switch to galaxy sIII until apple resolve this issue.
I'm an apple fan since 1987 (MY MAC II) and NEVER has problem or problem was immediately resolved but
on last THREE year, apple was made some mistake.... using CUSTOMER as TESTER....
After 20 year of apple, if all continue so. I MUST abandon APPLE.

I know that only some iphone 4s are affected by this problem but....
before write, please CONNECT BRAIN and verify your info...
So .... My brain and my iPhone are working, Yours are not.
for your reference, HALF internet (including APPLE support ) are FULL of post regarding this issue....
Do you actually knows how big the Internet is? Do you also know how many iPhones is out there?
Stop BS.
I'm an iphone fan since FIRST MODEL (2007) and an APPLE fan since MACII..
My post would be a temporary solution for who are affected by this issue, for use wifi until apple fix it..
I don't care what you have used since bla bla that won't change the facts.
you don't know my skill so.... be propositive instead of....
You don't know mine either
