NEED HELP, WIRELESS CONNECTED BUT CAN NOT CONNECT TO INTERNET

SOMEWHAT COMPUTER CHALLENGEDMY LINKSYS SAYS IT IS CONNECTED WITH GOOD CONNECTION, BUT I CAN NOT GET MY WIRELESS COMPUTER TO CONNECT TO INTERNET, BY HARDWIRED COMPUTER CONNECTS FINE. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WERE I NEED TO START?

If you want some input from Linksys you have to contact Linksys support. This is a community forum...
Check the following please:
1. The computer wired to the router has internet access.
2. On the computer wired open http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser. The username remains empty the default password is "admin". You may have changed the password during initial setup.
3. Click on Wireless. Take a note of the Wireless Network Mode (mixed, b only, g only), the Wireless Network Name, Channel, and whether SSID broadcasts are enabled or not. If you still have the default network name "linksys", please change it to something unique and save the settings for this page.
4. Next, click on Wireless Security and note the settings in this tab. It will be easier for troubleshooting if you post the current wireless settings noted.
5. Now use the wireless computer (if it was the one wired to the router before, unplug it) and let it search for wireless networks. It should find a wireless network with the "Wireless Network Name" from 3. Try to connect to this network. If it asks for a passphrase or key, you have to enter the passphrase from 4. for WPA/WPA2. If you have WEP encryption in 4. you have to enter "Key 1" not the passphrase!
6. If the connection fails please posts the exact error message you see.
7. If the connection succeeds, try to open a URL in the internet, e.g. http://www.google.com/
8. If it does not work open a command prompt window: Start - Run... - "cmd". Enter "ipconfig /all". Copy the output of this command into your next post.

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

If you are connected, you are connected. What error message do you get? There could be a lot of reasons why surfing fails. Maybe you did'nt order anything and Mac is angry with you.

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle. Also, my password will not work when a visitor uses it for a laptop (even a Mac) or any other device that uses the internet. It says the password is incorrect. I easily connected a Kindle last year, but I got a new one & now I can not connect wirelessly. I see no tab to create a guest network. I do not mind giving my password to visitors, but that does not work.

If you temporarily disable wireless encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), can the Kindle connect to the router and gain access to the Internet now? If so, then I would suggest that you reconfigure the AEBSn to use "WPA2 Personal" for the Wireless Security setting, and then, try connecting with the Kindle again.
As far as establishing a Guest Network, the AEBSn must not be in bridge mode. That is, it should be the only router in your current network and directly conncted to the Internet modem. If it is, then you would find the Guest Networking option on the AirPort > Guest Networking tab:

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

HT1222 Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it will show that it's connected but will not connect.

Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it shows it's connected but will not connect.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT4259 I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express. Does anyone know why?

I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express. Does anyone know why?

Sorry, but "Extend a wireless network" is a proprietary Apple setting that will only work if you have another Apple router.
It is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can connect to LAN wirelessly but can not connect to the internet.

The problem:
I can connect to the wireless router and modem router wireless and can browse the router setting web pages etc without issue. However i can not browse the internet, send or receive mail etc.
The setup:
A Belkin/iinet modem connects to the internet (ip 10.1.1.1), a DLink 565 then broadcasts the signal wirelessly (ip 10.1.1.100).
What i have tried:
Trusty old powercycle
I know the internet is working via the wifi as my ipod touch has full internet functionality through my wifi.
I have tried using ip address instead of urls to browse the web to no luck.
I have tried deleting Libary\Preferences\SystemConfiguration\preferences.plist
I have tried reseting the DHCP lease.
The only other thing i know works (eventually) is if i constantly change locations back and forth and turn airport on and off repeatedly, eventually i will get on the wifi but that can take upwards of an hour.
The macbook also works fine via ethernet connected to the wireless router.

Check these details:
1. Right click your wireless connection
2. Select STATUS
3. Select the SUPPORT tab
4. Select the DETAILS button
You should see a page with all sorts of network details.
Make sure that you see the following:
1. You have an assigned IP address from your router
2. You have a default gateway address -- typically the IP address of your router.
3. A primary and alternate DNS server address (the router gets
these from your ISP and passes them along during DHCP connect
processing.)
I found that step #3 did not happen reliably. Your mileage may vary. I set DNS server values into my router, based on what I got from my ISP, so that the connect-time data handoff was not required. A large part of my troubles went away.

Networks seen by airport, but can not connect to internet

Hello,
This is for a powerbook G4 running 10.5.8 that previously connected to our time capsule without issues. Recently, it stopped connecting to the internet although our two macbooks, phones, etc. have no problem.
It can see our network and also an open network and will "connect" with full signal strength but will not connect ot the internet. When running diagnostics it will come up with 'network change detected' and then will go through turn off modem and router and will then continue in a loop with turning off modem or router and not let me past the "network settings (yellow tab in front of network settings)" portion of network diagnostics. I've tried setting up a network and this did not work. I have also tried connecting to the time capsule which was not recognized either. I like the powerbook for traveling and since the ethernet source was fried years ago, it is pretty much useless without the airport functioning.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Once I had a very similar problem and took it to the Apple Store. I'm not entirely certain what they did, but I believe it was to remove some corrupted .plists. Maybe someone here would know which ones would be the relevant ones to look at.
In the meantime, you might consider one of these as a workaround:

It's not the most elegant solution, but I have a couple of these and they seem to be very reliable, and cheap enough at the sale price.
Good luck!

Can not access web wifi simble on but can not connect the the internet

wifi on but can not access internet

I COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM!!! : CHANGE YOUR ISP
I it is obvious that we are talking about different issues, but all arise from the same origin. I am a surgeon and fortunately one of my patients is executive manager of one of biggest ISP companies from which I have bought my Internet service for home and my clinic.
One day I told him the problem and he promised to check it for me. A few days later he called me and discussed the exact problem (unfortunately as I am not I.T professional, I couldn’t understand it well, I can just remember he was talking about MULTIPLEXING incompatibility between Mac security settings and that specific ISP multiplexing settings, He also said they had similar problems with some Linux users. I can remember he relate the problem to cheap ISP hardware, which leads to security issues which are ignored by Windows Systems but leading to connection blockade in Mac Browsers. That’s why if you PING yahoo.com, you will see everything is OK but your browsers are not working)
In fact this is a hardware issue which is related to ISP (Internet Service Provider) security and not your Mac.
The day after, I took my MacBook to some ISP offices and asked them to let me connect to their line just for a test. “ Surprisingly I found out without changing my MacBook’s settings it works well with some ISPs and not with others!! “
I have two ADSL lines: one at home and one in my clinic. First I changed my home ISP and everything is well at home from the day I did the change. But before changing my clinic’s ISP it worked at home and not at the clinic. Later I changed my clinic’s ISP and afterward never I had any problem. This proves ( as that manager said also) this problem is related to ISP and not Mac itself and that’s why Apple could not have resolved the problem yet: different ISPs have different issues.
Here I can make some suggestions:
1- First, take your MacBook into different ISP offices and find the one which works well (before making the contract and paying money to the ISP, restart the Mac or send it into sleep mode repeatedly to make sure the connection never drops with restart or sleeps)
2- Change your modem: Modems as TP-LINK, D-LINK, are not well compatible with Mac. Apple modems or Linksys are perhaps the best choices (this is not main cause of internet drop, but can affect the performance)
3- Make sure your neighbor’s Wi-Fi is not exactly on the same channel as you are using (I use iStumbler for finding my neighbor’s channels)
4- Find best DNS: ask your ISP to provide you most compatible DNS’s for you. Perhaps most known DNSs are 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.4.It helps you to browse the Internet more efficiently
Some people in other forums suggested that upgrading to Mountain Lion has helped them. But It didn't work for my clinic's line. Just changing the ISP at clinic resolved my problem
BETWEEN THESE 4 SUGGESTIONS, THE FIRST ONE IS THE MAIN SOLUTION AND NO 2-4 CAN HELP THE PERFORMANCE.
Move on!!! Change your ISP and let me know if it works!!!!

TS1424 downloaded itunes but can not connect to store message reads error 11222

Trying to connect to itunes store using windows 7 professional. I have downloaded and re-installed so many times and still I can not connect. The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection. Unfortunately I am not very computer savvy so no idea what operating system is.

The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to the WiFi.
