Problem connecting to internet with WRT54GL wireless router.

Hey fellas. I currently have a cable modem and a Linksys WRT54GL router with DD-WRT flashed connected to two computers. My desktop is wired to it, and I have a Windows XP and Mac OS X partition on my Macbook Pro, which uses the wireless connection. My PC is working fine, and the OS X partition on my Macbook Pro is running fine, but the XP partition is not doing too hot. Thing is, I have a connection to the router with an excellent signal strength, but Im getting BARELY any packets sent/received, if any. My settings are set to be assigned from the DHCP, but I can't seem to ping the assigned IP. I type ipconfig /all and everything seems to be in order - nothing abnormal to speak of, but I'm getting nothing For the record, I'm using WPA2 security. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can offer. I'm pretty tech-savvy so don't be afraid to use some more technical terms with me. Thanks in advance!

I think I should add that the windows partition does not seem to work when connecting to any other network, as well.

Problem connecting to internet with linksys router after internet network password reset

I do not know the model number of the wireless linksys router offhand, but it is one known to have a bug regarding connecting the internet. Others have solved the problem by buying another model number, but the person who owns it does not want to buy a new one since he does not know how to use any other one.
What happened is our phone company (also the internet provider) was having technical problems so there no internet connection. Then, my computer opened with internet page to reset password to connect.
Although I am able to get a connection on my wireless laptop, this other person in house is unable to connect to wired computer through linksys.

Hi. WUSB300N is actually a wireless usb n adapter. A wireless receiver not a wireless access point or a router. You may want to check if you have a wireless Linksys or Cisco router there.

Problem connecting Nokia C3 to home wireless route...

Good day, Nokia!
I recently bought a Nokia C3-00 WiFi phone but I can't seem to browse my home wireless connection with it. The phone can detect and connect with the wireless network successfully but when I open my mobile browser, it can't load websites, saying "Service not available."
However, I can connect and browse the internet through other WiFi hotspots, just not my home connection. The router I'm using is LP-8616. It's an AP router, if that helps. Unfortunately, there's no firmware upgrade for this router anymore.
I've read all the threads about this problem here and all over the internet but still nothing works for me. Hope you or somebody here could help me to finally solve this problem. More Power!

Allsolution from another post, see /t5/Cseries/C3-wifi-problem-connect-to-wlan-but-internet-not-work/m-p/950115#M14517. Found out how to solve the problem of connecting via WLAN in the following way (the phone was able to connect to the Internet only through the GSM provider network):
Step 1: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Web or Streaming or any other (Just add, needs no other settings)
Step 2: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Default config. settings (choose MyWeb, Personal Settings or the name created at step 1)
Step 3: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings (delete the field created in step 1) then go to Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (choose one of the available options)
Now you can open your browser and try to connect. It should ask what method you choose (WLAN or Access Point Preferred)
If your phone does not want to be connected via the GSM provider network, the user can manually enter settings for defining an Access Point (Step 4)
Step 4: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Access Point (check with GSM provider for account settings)
Step 5: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (select the field you created earlier)
I know that what I wrote above may seem like science fiction for a user who is not accustomed to butoneasca phone and non-stop, but I assure you that the operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Problem connecting to internet with wired ethernet

Shortly after installing the Leopard 10.5.2 update, I could not connect to the internet through the wired ethernet connection. Connected wireless with no problem. Spent time with Apple tech. Determined that the machine was fine. Told to check the wall port. Had a windows PC connect fine through same cable and wall port. Also brought the MacBook to a different location. Connected to the ethernet port and connected to the internet successfully. Determined that the MacBook kept using an IP address of 192.168.1.103. This is the wrong address for my connection. The correct IP address is 172.16.7.1. Installed this address manually in the MacBook and established a connection. The MacBook cannot seem to connect automatically at this location. The Windows PC connects fine. The MacBook keeps coming up with the wrong IP address. Any idea what could be causing this??

The IP address when connected to a router will start with 192.168.x.x.
When connected to a modem you will get a different address.
When you connect to a cable modem for the first time it looks at the Media Access Control (MAC) address of whatever is connected.
It is a unique number for your device.
It only attaches to one device and provides an internet connection to that device by way of an IP address.
If you wish to connect another device and get an IP address for that new device, you need the modem to start over, since it has a monogamous relationship with the connected device.
In order to have the modem drop its relationship, it needs to be restarted.
This is not true of a dsl modem.
It sounds like your modem has linked with the MAC address of the router.
In order to connect directly to the modem and get it to link to your computer, you need to unplug the router from power.
Disconnect its ethernet cable.
Restart the modem after about 15 seconds and wait until it restarts, about 2 minutes.
Then reconnect the modem and you will likely be able to connect to the internet.

Can't connect to internet with new wireless n "Extreme" modem

I've had a D-Link DI-604 router for about 4 years-- and wanted to go wireless with an Apple Extreme but first have borrowed my neighbor's D-Link DIR-635 to just see if this will work in my brick house etc. (3 stories, lots of cement and brick...)
Well I get as far as the 192.168.0.1 and then "clone" my MAC address (nothing to do with a Macintosh that...). Note: I was using the same computer to connect to the internet as I previously had used with the D-Link DI-604.
I also give a manual (easy-to-remember) 5-letter password to my wireless connection--
But although this "reboots" the modem, it does NOT let me connect to the internet...
So I'm back to my D-Link 604 cable (wired) only...
One thing the set-up asked for is my HOST name. The only thing I see in the Network System Preferences is an ethernet number: 00:16:cb:cd:6c:3e but I don't find a "HOST" name-- and is that really needed? (In Belgium I'm using an ISP provider "VOO")
Any comments really appreciated-- I could actually see a fairly strong signal from the wireless router (I named it "SteveHermee" and I could see strong bands even from the top floor, with router in the basement...)-- but I could never connect to the internet via CABLE (wired) or wireless.
Thanks,
Steve

I got other info from others and D-Link directly.

Problems connecting to internet with AEBS

Equipment: MacBookPro (OS 10.5.3), AEBS (v.7.2.1), iMac (OS10.5.3)
MacBookPro is about 20+ feet from AEBS, iMac using same AEBS, about 3 feet away. Time Warner cable modem. When I try to connect to internet on MBP, nearly every time it fails and if I do manage to get on it is slower than the slowest dial-up. If I then go into network diagnostics and go through the whole 9 yards of setting it up, I can usually connect but connection is often slow. Needless to say, this is a royal pain since my work requires me to go on line frequently. Am pretty sure the trouble started when we hooked up the iMac, but not 100% certain. Went to see the "genius" who was stymied.
Just did some trouble shooting - switched the locations of the computers and both seem to be working fine and at speed I'd expect given equipment and cable modem. So now I'm thinking there is something about the MBP and its distance from the AEBS, since why both would work fine when we switched their locations?
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks for your time.

Although, I know that you mentioned that you have reset your AirPort, I strongly suggest that you perform a complete power recycle of your network components to see if this will get the modem and your AEBSn communicating properly.
Please try the following:
o Power-down the modem, AEBSn, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
o Power-up the modem. If it has a reset switch, go ahead and perform a modem reset. After the reset, wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).
Your computer(s) should now be able to access the Internet thru the AEBSn either by wire or wireless. Please post back your results.

Problem connecting to internet via non-apple router

got a bit of a problem with the airport and my router. i have a BTVOYAGER-2110 router to connect to the internet. The router works fine and i can get the internet unsing an enternet cable into the back of the computer. But when i try to connect to the internet using my installed Airport card, it wont work. The Airport card picks up the router and connects to the network no problem. it even says in the system prefs>network menu that i am connected to the internet via arport, but i cannot bring up any pages and it does not work. also i cannot bring the router up in the admin utility. does anyone know how to solve this little problem?

I'm having a similar problem, (strong signal, definite connection to the network, but unable to access the internet): it is not necessarily a matter of "b" versus "g" protocol. When I go to Europe, most of the time I cannot connect to available wireless networks with the mac, though I can with my pc. So, I'll be interested in whatever solutions people have to your problem as well. In the meantime, go to the following link:

Problem connecting to internet with WEP security on

Just got new iBOOK today. Wireless network in house, with two PCs and Powerbook set up - all working okay.
New iBOOK works using airport when WEP security disabled.
Have added the iBOOK's MAC address to the network and enabled WEP 64 bit security.
Try to connect, type in password, but error message appears.
Believe it may be a security problem on the iBOOK somewhere - but where?

Problems connecting to internet with WRT160N

I'm having trouble with the internet on my mac mini. The mac mini is connected through the ethernet and is really slow. Sometimes it works fine. Other times is takes like 3 tries to load a page. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. You just never know. The thing is my macbook is connected wirelessly and works flawlessly. The mac mini does this even when my macbook is turned off. It didn't do this before I bought the router and it was working fine the first few days of using the router. Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is your router a WRT160N v2 model? Next, check if your firmware is build 11. If so, you should downgrade to build 8. We'll be glad to help you with that.
WRT160N v2 users --- 1) Get BUILD 08 if you don't have it already 2) A fix IS in the works.
Where can I get this fine firmware?
1) http://audipages.com/router/
2) PM me so I can email you a zip of the firmware if necessary. Be sure to use OpenDNS if reverting to build 8.

Unable to connect to internet with my WRT54G router

I had no problem until a few days ago. I have it under a secured mode and wanted to unsecure it temporarily. I got into the 192.168.2.1 and clicked the security tab and got a clock that never seemed to come back to i closed the window. I went back into internet explorer and could not get into the internet.  I get a popup in lower right saying Local Area connection. This connection has limited or no connectivty. You might not be able to access the internet or some resources. For more information click this message.
Then I get
Windows could not finis repra the problem because the following actin can not be completed. Renewing your IP address.
I do a setup and get a message
Unable to connect to the router
I try pinging the 192.168.1.1 and it times out.
I do a diagostic and
HTTP Error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.,com  shows up many times.
I have an Actiontec 701 DSL modem. I can get into the internet using that only.
I've tried resetting the router, I've done   what appears to be a firmware upgrade (lights blink etc), I've tried different power up sequences, I've tried re-booting.
What more can I try?

As of now you are not able to login to your router setup page, and you are getting an error message "Limited or no Connectivity". First you can try is Unplug the Power from your router, wait for 1 min and reconnect the power to your router and check if you connected to the router or still you are getting the same error message.
If still the same problem persist then Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Problem connecting Macbook Pro with WRT160n wireless

My roommate and I recently got WRT160n, and she has a PC and her connection was fine. But for my Macbook, whenever I try to connect to the network and put in my password (the one that I set up) it says that the password is incorrect. I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried configuring with the 192.168.1.1 thing, but that didn't help me much either (unless I was doing it wrong.) Help?

Make sure that the wireless password is correct ....also disable all firewall on the MAC computer .... & check that you are able to connect the network or not ....
If so then try to ping the DG ....

Problems connecting to internet with 10.5.3

I can't get connected to the internet directly through a cable modem. I have tried everything some have mentioned, but it still doesn't work. This is a brand new computer pre-installed with 10.5.3. I have talked to both Comcast and Apple, neither can help. Do I have to go back to 10.4?

Is this ethernet connected (I'm guessing yes).
Some Cable modems record the first MAC (Media Access Control) address they see and do not accept connections from anything else.
Generally you need to power off the Cable modem for a few minutes and then power it back on before it will accept a new MAC address.
Have you tried this?
Have you looked in the System Log (via Applications -> Utilities -> Console) to see what kind of connection errors you are getting. This might help isolate the problem.

Problems connecting to internet with leopard

I am having two problems since installing Leopard . Initially everything seemed fine but now
1.It takes 30 sec or more when I wake up computer before the wireless mouse or keyboard come to life. Battery levels are fine
2.I have lost the internet connect icon from the dock.Can I get this back? I have an external modem connected via usb and when I click on the connect button it won't connect ,I have to remove the cable ,put it back in and then it connects for me.
I'm afraid that I don't know a great deal about computers so if any one can assist lay mans terms would be great.

Should have spent more time on the 10.6 Support site. This post solved my problem.
"Seems I found a workaround. I edited the network location by adding a new one. network came up instantly. DHCP took a bit but eventually came. Hope this helps."
