New FIOS router, VIsta Laptop Cannot Access Internet

I too have the new FIOS router with 75/35 speed. I have just been trying to install the router and have been successful in getting wifi connected on two devices (Win 7 laptop and Kindle), but I cannot get my Vista laptop to access the internet. It shows the wifi being connected but no internet connection.
Does this have something to do with the Vista OS?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Anyone at Verizon who is paying attention would realize this problems is many years old with no solution. People are literally begging for help in dozens of online forums, to no avail (Google search usually provides me results faster than any tech support). I have the exact same issue. All my wireless devices connect to the internet through the Verizon MI424WR router with no problem. My Vista laptop connects just fine via Ethernet cable, but not the wireless. I can make a wireless connection to the router, and the router admin page shows it is, in fact, connected, but absolutely NO connection to internet is possible.
BTW, the laptop had no problem for years connecting to the internet via a Linksys WRT54G connected to Verizon DSL.
All that the troubleshooting "guide" provides is the usual basic "plug in, turn off, turn on, reset" nonsense that might help only those who can't stop their VCR clock from blinking.
So please, Verizon, bump this up to a FAQ (because it is VERY frequently asked), and help us find a solution.

Is there a way to access the web-based setup for my router if I cannot access the internet?

Okay, I need to change the ip address settings on my router. I have a WRT54G Wireless router. I cannot access the internet on my computer connected to the router, and do not know how to change the router settings without accessing the web-based setup page. So, back to my question. Is there a way to access this page if I cannot connect to the internet?

On the back of the router is a small reset switch. Using a paper clip or other small item, press the switch in and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the router to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Enter that address in your web browser, and be sure your computer is attached to the router by an Ethernet cable. Don't attempt to do this using the wireless connection.
Once you have reached the web configuration utility you can change the DHCP settings.
To give your PC a static IP address you will need to open your network connections panel and, assuming your using Windows XP, make the changes from dynamic IP to static there.

My ipad cannot access Internet although I have strong wifi signal

My ipad cannot access Internet suddenly although I have strong wifi signal & my iphone, macbook and other laptops can connect to the wifi network. I tried to reset the network settings, connect to itunes, check the router. but it doesn't work. Can anyone help me please to solve this problem? Thank you very much

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

Cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4

cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4.

ok here is the issue.
After i upgraded the IOS to IOS 6.1.2 I'm not able to use mobile internet as i have a data sim card.
As the settings provided by the service provider are not compatible with IOS 6.1.2 and the service provider cannot do anything about it, as it's something that has to be ressolved by apple.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

My iOS 6.1.4 is updated. i have other devices connected to wifi hotspot of my iphone5. Though my other devices appeared to be connected and shows an excellent cignal strength, i cannot access internet. hope this will be fixed.

Laptop joins network, connects to the internet but iPad/iPhone cannot access internet though on the network...

My laptop joins the network I created and connects to the internet via my Airport Extreme but for some reason my iPad and iPhone cannot access the internet even through they have joined the network. What's gone wrong?

Troubleshoot Internet Connection Problems at Microsoft.com
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-Internet-connection-problems
You can also check the following:
* Your modem and/or router are both on and are not indicating errors. The problem may be with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Contact your ISP for more information.
* If you are using a wireless connection, that you are using the correct access point.
* Your Domain Name System (DNS) server translates web addresses (URLs) into IP addresses and is usually provided by your ISP. If the DNS server is overloaded, you may be unable to view some or all websites. For example, if http://74.125.53.99 or http://74.125.159.105 work but http://www.google.com doesn't, you may have a DNS problem. You can use an alternative service such as OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/) or Google Public DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/).
* Whether your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is blocking connections to the Internet. For instructions on how to configure some programs, see the Firewalls article (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls).
Check and tell if its working.

New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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 the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My mac pro laptop cannot access the internet which is cable thru airport extreme any suggestions

My Mac pro cannot access the internet cable but is connected to wi fi thru airport extreme. my apple desktop works fine on the system and sits next to my laptop. any suggestions

"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

Sony laptop cannot access our wifi network...

Have just installed new airport extreme 5th gen, hardwired to macbook pro and imac. The only device that cannot access our network is our Sony laptop - shows a red x - that it is a "hidden" network. Have not used the closed network setting in airport utility - any advice?

sorry for the trouble, but solved the problem; obviously not very computer savvy, but found that the Sony's networking settings were for our old router (WEP) - reset to WPA2 and works fine.

Lightening strike tripped circuit breaker, iMac still works perfectly except I cannot access internet, all external cables etc proved Ok. any suggestions to get me back online?

We had a lightening strike that tripped the circuit breaker - does my iMac now need repairing? Everything works on it except I cannot access the internet via the ethernet cable. I have checked the router and cable and both work on other pc's.

If you connect to the router via the Ethernet port at the time of the strike it is possible it is damaged.
Can you connect to your other computers via the Ethernet port on your router, if so the port will be good and it may be just a software setup you need to go through.
Try Pauls suggestions first if they don't fix it and you need a new logic board you could try a USB to Ethernet adapter, it would probably be a lot cheaper that replacing the logic board.
If you have home insurance would that cover the cost of repairs?
Apple Ethernet to USB, it states MacBook Air, but I think they work with other Macs.

VM cannot access Internet when host is connected to VPN

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem with my Hyper-V network. I use internal switch (external seems to have problems when I want to access the host via RDP and host has Wifi only).
Now attached is my configuration as a wonderful picture. ;) My problem is this: I have a internal switch in Hyper-V which is used by the VMs. They can access the Internet because the host WiFi Adapter has Internet Sharing enabled. However, when I connect
the host to the VPN, the VMs cannot access the internet anymore. I know it is not possible to share the VPN-Connection itself, but without any Internet I cannot connect the VMs to the VPN at all. So is there any way to connect the host to VPN and also the
VMs?
Thanks! :)
Best,
Chris

Hi CBuntrock,
Please try the following setps :
Open network connection --> right click the vpn connection --> properties --> click tab Networking --> click the proper internet protocol version --> properties --> advanced --> tab ipsettings --> uncheck "use defult gateway
on remote network " --> ok
Please try to access internet again from your VMs .
Best Regards

Clean Installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 cannot access internet

I just installed a clean Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center and all drivers installed with no issue. I used Ethernet connection to access internet via IE (let say google.com) but failed. Clicked "Fix connection problem" and returned "website
(www.google.com) is online but isn't responding to connections attempts." Therefore, I suspected Windows Firewall (WF) setting. I disabled WF, allow IE in WF, allow port 80 but all did not work in this case. I am able to ping google.com but it just does'n
work in browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox). The same cable connection I tried with Windows 8.1, 7 with no issue. Please advise is there any clue I miss up for Windows 2012 R2 Data Center?
