No Internet but green light using D - Link dsl-300T

If anyone knows how to help me on this i would be extremely gratefull as the expensive piece of plastic as someone else put it is driving me insane.
the D-link modem i am using works perfectly when plugged directly into the i-book G4 i am using, but when it is set up with the airport, despite a green light and the computer telling me to the its connected, the computer is not on the internet. pages will not load and email or the music store wont work.
someonelse had the same problem with the modem in this forum but they didnt have an awnser. please help!! if in airport admin utility i told it not to distribute ip addresses the internet worked for short spells at a time. though sooner or later the airport would tell me it did not have an ip address and could not connect to the internet. a warning message about ip addresses would also flash up. Help!
thanks Ben

I contacted apple support who said that this type of modem was **** to set up and configure to properly work with the airport due to it not having a briging mode. i was sold the modem on advice that it would work with airport by john lewis and so i simply changed to a netgear modem that was reccommendedto me by apple. everything now works fine but thanks for your help.

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.
Bunce

The 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.

Apple TC drops wifi but green light glows

I have a 2 TB Apple Time Capsule as my primary wireless router. Recently the TC has started to not send out any Wifi signal at all. All Wifi devices that are connected to it cannot even see the TC nor can the Airport Utility. The green light continues to glow happly! I can reset the device by unplugging and replugging the power, it then reconnects and everything works wonderfully until the next random time it happens.
I read some support threads that suggested fixing the WiFi channels as this may be happening when it switches channels, which I did. The problem still occurs.
Any input?

If it is in warranty, I would certainly be looking to get Apple to replace it. It does sound like it is faulty.
Does the TC get hot? They can be warm to hot during a backup.. but with the disk spun down should not be over hot.. stick it up on feet.. the rubber base does not help much in getting rid of the heat unless you sit it on a chunk of copper or aluminum. Otherwise put a set of bottle tops / pencils / rubbers. whatever you can find to elevate it and allow air underneath.. you want it >8mm off the bench at least (about 0.3-0.5") Make sure it has plenty of air access around the sides and is not in a restricted access area where the local environment is heating up as well.
How long after each restart does it take to stop working? Is it a fairly consistent time.. ?? That could be helpful info.
Have you tried a full lock down of the wireless?
I am deeply suspicious of devices that auto everything.
So use SMB names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Use a different name for 5ghz.
Use fixed channels which you are doing.
Use a fixed wireless mode.. this is not something we usually touch. But worth it in your testing.
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
So normally something like this.
But now add radio mode into the mix.
This does reduce the wireless at 2.4ghz to G.. but it is just a test. See if wireless still drops out..
Does 5ghz also drop out at the same time? Since you can now force some of the devices to 5ghz.
if so I would be blaming hardware.
But iStumbler may show you more.
And the v5 utility can show you log info of the wireless clients.
You will need one computer linked by ethernet to get the chart when wireless drops naturally but you can also check the main log.
v5 utility being of course useful tool cf v6 useless toy.
To load v5 utility into ML.. do this.. although there are plenty of methods if you do a google for the info.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

Time Capsule not found as base station, but green light?

When plugging in my time capsule, the green light appeared. However, Airport utility said it could no devices could be found. I did a hard reset so that the flashing amber light was flashing, but to no avail. Thoughts?

How close is the AirPort Utility to the TC? What is blocking it if you drew a straight-line from the TC to the computer the Utility is on?

I finally got eprint to work but green light goes off after about 15 min

Can't get green light to stay on.

Ruth, welcome to the forum.
You did a nice job of diagnostics. Thank you for the detailed information.
I suggest testing the memory. The specifications say that there is 1x2 GB and 1x4 GB (= 6 GB). Remove all of the memory and replace each module one at a time and boot. The single module should be installed in the slot nearest to the Processor.

TS1398 my phone when connected to wifi wont download apps and internet but will when using 3G

my iphone wont download my apps or internet when using wifi but will with 3G

If you do not use cellular data then you can't be charged for something you don't use. You could turn airplane mode on and then turn wifi back on when you have wifi available and you want to send pics if you are paranoid

Isight Camera not working in Ichat, but green light on...

Hi All, the greenlight in my Ichat stays on all the time. And when I log in to use ichat or skype the video peolple on the other end cannot see me, but I can see them.
What can I do?

Well, this is the answer! I just did a hard restart by force quiting it all. You do this by holding down the power button. Thought I better post in case someone else has the same problem.

Airport Express suddenly stopped working Error (-15006) But Green Light On

Hi There,
I have had my airport express for a few years and I use it to stream music from my macbook to my hifi.
However all of a sudden i stopped being able to see the drop down for the speakers in the bottom of itunes.
I have reset the airport express many times and reconnected it to my network which sometimes allows the speaker dropdown in itunes.
However when I get to that stage it tries to connect to my remote speakers for ages then eventually it times out or i get the error (-15006).
When tht happens the drop down menu goes completley.
I have now upgraded to itunes 9.0 and it still happens.
Please help I am getting very frustrated!

Sorry guys, I don't mean to give you a hard time, and I know I'd feel the same as you if it was my kit that was fried. Think I must have just finished reading the iPod nano article, where Apple has been slated for refusing to replace nano's that have surface scratches, even though they're still under warranty. It sounded like the usual story, consumer has purchased it, put it in their back pocket, sat down on it, put it through the washing machne and wondered why it was scratched. Funnily enough, I've kept mine in a old sock when not in use, and I've never been so stupid as to put it in my back pocket, clean it once a month and it's still as good as new.
Doesn't help your issue though, but an EU directive might. Not sure when it came into force, and I can't remember which articles it refers to explicitly, but consumer electrical goods sold in the EU must carry a minimum 3 year guarantee. I think that only applies to "white goods", fridges, washing machines, etc. But there was another part where they must have a minimum guarantee period of 2 years, for more general electrical goods.

Trying to reset iphone iam locked out and using itunes to unlock it but am getting a message states that am not connect to the internet but am am help

Try using your regular itunes password NO caps. It worked for me.

TS4079 siri keeps saying connect to internet: but I am connected?

I have turned Siri both off/on several times. I am also connected to internet, but everytime I use Siri it says please connect to internet

I have Norton Internet Security 2005 and have not had problems except with CDDB with a proxy server.
Assuming you are using the Norton forewall, but something should work with other firewalls.
As suggested, try turning off NIS briefly and see if you can connect then. If you can try the following:
Make sure you have all updates.
Go in to the firewall settings - configure programs.
Delete references to itunes and quicktime. You may find them listed under Apple.
Restart the computer.
Then go into the firewall and manually configure these programs:
In Program Files\iTunes - iTunes.exe and iTunesHelper.exe
In Program Files\Quicktime - QuicktimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe and QTInfo.exe.
In fact for me the automatic configuration worked fine, but doing it manually seems to have worked for some people.
Another thing that can cause connectivity problems, go into Internet Explorer Tools>Internet Options>Connextions>LAN Settings and make sure that "Automatically detect settings" is checked.

I recently bought an Airport Express and connected it to my TimeWarner modem. Am able to surf the internet using my MacBook Air, iPad, and Apple TV, but the AirPort Express has a blinking amber light. How could I change it to a green light?

My airport extreme shows a green light, but won't connect to the internet.

I have an airport extreme, and it stopped working one day, so I reseted it and it's not connecting to the internet now. It's showing a green light, however, it won't connect to the internet. I live in an apartment complex, so I don't have a cable modem. The router is directly connected to the wall via ethernet. I had the ports checked by connecting the ethernet cord directly to the computer, and the internet is working fine. I tried resetting the router, but it still doesn't connect.

Your problem is typical Yosemite network.. just reboot the Time Capsule.. no luck reboot the network.. do a restart in correct order.. modem.. wait 2min.. TC .. wait 2min.. clients.
No luck then do a full reset of the TC and setup in a way that Yosemite can cope with.
Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 for basestation and TCwifi wireless name.
If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-yo u-can-do-to-fix-it/
Same thing applies to the Airport Extreme or the Express if used as router.. just replace TC in the instructions with AE.

Green light, ISP found but no wireless internet

Hello, I've spent all weekend on this problem... can anyone help?
My new D-Link DSL-320B router connects fine to my ISP and I can access internet fine when hard wired to my macbook but I can't get the same result wirelessly with my Airport Express units.
This router replaces an old D-Link one because Virgin media have gone to ADSL2 and they thought my old one was causing problems (after 3 years of great service it began to need restarting every time we tried to go on-line).
I have tried all the firmware upgrades (reflashing), I have tried different security settings (and no security) and all the "switch it off and on again" procedures, cable wiggling, hair pulling. Has anyone got this unit to work with airport?
I am thinking of getting a Netgear DG834PN RangeMax and forgetting about airport... or can I use both together?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

I have a similar problem with our daughter's MacBookG4/10.4.11. It is a school computer and her Airport Express worked fine with a COX cable modem.
Moved to a new apartment. Factory reset the Airport Express and set up a new network with same cable service (COX). Green light, sees the network, but no ability to load a page.
Hardwired to cable modem works.
Did fix permissions, reviewed settings (DHCP).
Setup assistant does not "see" the unit. Moreover Airport utility scans but does not find the unit. Yet the unit is green to go.
Maybe preference files? She has admin privileges but this is a school machine that she uses at her new apartment.
Am I missing something? I am thinking maybe the unit is down. However it is currently located behind the TV (Old CRT) so I am wondering if there is some interference.
Thanks

Airport Extreme - green light, but no internet

I've been using my airport extreme for 2 years, connected to an Alcatel-Lucent modem.
A couple of months ago I bought 2 airport express devices and cabled them to the extreme in bridge mode, working just fine.
After a 2-week trip I returned home and I found that all the devices showed a green light in the Airport Utility, but the internet was orange.
I could connect myself to the network, play music in my airplay sound system, but couldn't surf the web or use my apple tv.
Now internet is changing from green to orange every 5 minutes.
I tried everything that I have read in different forums, but with bad results.
Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much.

I tried working on my computer with a wired connection from the modem itself and it works perfectly.
If you mean that you have the computer connected directly to the modem and things work OK, then leave things "as is" for at least a few hours.....longer would be better....and report on your results at that time.
Then, we will do the next check.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
