Problems getting my wifi going

Using the Linksys WET54G V3.0 and a Netgear router, model not available currently.
I am able to connect to the WiFi network, and the router shows the WET on the list of "attached" devices, but the WET cannot browse the internet. What am I doing wrong?
If anyone has similar hardware, how did you manage to get the WET working?

I'm not totally familiar with Netgear, but when you go in to your Web Browser and go to the router's address (probably http://192.168.2.1). You can then inspect the settings. How are you actually connecting to the Internet? dial-up, DSL or cable?

HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

Problems getting public wifi

Since upgrading to Lion on my MacBook Pro I now have problems logging onto Wifi - specifically free Wi Fi on my local train service.
I can see the Wi Fi - it gets as far as Wi-Fi Setting and then fails at Network Settings
I have checked that I am set to DHCP - that is fine
This is really annoying worked fine before I upgraded?
Any ideas please?
Thanks

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Problem getting WiFi to accept my password

Hey All. Just got my new Kin TwoM tonight! Yay. Like someone else said, I had to call Verizon to get it activated. Wouldn't work online. 1st Tech Support couldn't get it programmed manually, but Tier II got it programmed. That took a good 30 minutes. Now I'm trying to get WiFi working. I turned on Wifi and it's detecting my home network, but it won't recognize my password. Keeps saying it's wrong. Now it's an easy password for me to remember, but I figured I better double check my password that I have written down and filed away, and I do have the correct password. It's all numeric, and I thought maybe I was using the letter O instead of a zero, but the zero is up in the top row with all the numbers so that's not the problem. I then went into my router to make sure I didn't go and change the password at some point, but the password is what I've had it set to for years and what I'm trying to get the phone to accept. Anyone else have a problem getting WiFi to accept the password? My router is a Dlink. The phone is showing it as WEP, so I thought maybe there's a problem with the phone and WEP and maybe I should try another encryption. Or do I have to allow access in my router or something?. I went in and disabled the password on my router and the Kin was able to connect fine. I enabled the password again, re-entered it on my phone and it won't connect with the password. Any other ideas? Thanks, Pam

Oh this is frustrating. I finally got my phone wifi to connect to my home network once by manually adding my network, but I couldn't seem to get it connected again when I try the same way. When I was connected, I still couldn't open any webpages, but it did download my email. BUT...it wouldn't open any email unless it was text only. I was wondering if it was because I turned off Data Services in my Verizon account. I thought you had to do that so that you wouldn't accidentally connect to 3G when there was no WiFi. I did try to renew my IP, but no change. I tried manually connecting to my home network another 10 times or so, and I finally got it to connect again, and I can now access the internet. The wifi on this phone must be VERY buggy. That's a real dissapointment since the phone has so many great features. I suppose it is possible that my phone has an faulty Wifi. I'll see if I have problems connecting to wifi elsewhere. I did try at work yesterday and couldn't get connected, but I wasn't sure how good the wifi was at work so I didn't really worry about that. I am NOT going to mess with the wifi connection to my home network now that I finally got it connected. Hopefully after I turn off wifi, it will be able to reconnect the next time I turn it on. One can hope anyway!

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

The screen on my Macbook goes blank, if I tilt the screen it returns. Problem getting worse.

The screen on my Macbook goes blank, if I tilt the screen it returns. Problem getting worse. Should I take it to the apple store and see if they can replace the screen? is it expensive to replace the backlight/invertor?

This sounds to me like a fairly common Inverter Fault.
It is not the screen that needs replacing by the sounds of it,
It sounds like either the inverter board or the inverter cable needs replacing.
My understanding is that inverter / inverter cable repairs aren't too expensive, but not too cheap!
Obviously your best way to find out how much it would cost to be repaired would be to take it in to an Apple Store, as I have never had to have one replaced myself, but the information I'm providing, is based on what I've read elsewhere.
How old is the MacBook?
Thanks,
Ollie.

HT1551 when we try to watch a purchased show like The Good Wife - the program freezes and the little circle goes around and around - the only way to get the program going is to rewind or fast forward to jump start the movie again. Help!

When we rent a show like The Good Wife while watching the show it freezes and the little circle goes around and around. The only way to get the program going again is to use the remote and go forward or backward. This happens throughout the whole show and it is impossible to watch. Can anyone help? We cannot watch movies or shows this way.

The wireless connection keeps going away and I need to power off and on the time capsule to get the wifi network up

Time Capsule wifi access very poor. it keeps disconnecting and i need to power on and off thr router to get the wifi connection back again. When it works its so slow, it works only in the roms nearby and not even upstairs in my home!

I cannot work from the serial number.. I need the model number. A1xxx in the rubber .. in the rubber.. for Gen1-3.. 2010 is probably Gen3 but can be early Gen4.
Follow up questions:
How do i take the firmware back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2
wireless names are Room of requirement and Leaky Cauldron - Is that too long a name?
How do I set fixed wireless channels?
Can relocate. Its in the main level of the house to give me access upstairs in the bedrooms and down in the basement,
Change firmware.. hold down option whilst clicking version.
Wireless names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. yes.. your names are wrong.. from my point of view.. more they do not obey the rules.. no spaces.
Check C9 here why this is important.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Fix wireless channels.. option page in wireless are of utility.. you need to spend more time in the utility so you know what is there.
Location is everything.. sometimes you simply need more than one device.. wireless has limited range. Use ethernet or EOP - homeplug adapters to place another AP in area closer to your position.

TS1398 Has anyone had a problem with wifi going to sleep on a mini?

It seems like the wifi goes to sleep. I have to go to settings and then it seems to work.

It does go to sleep unless you are connected to power. When you wake up the mini it reconnects.

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

Can't get on wifi's that have an "accept" page

I have no trouble getting onto wifi on my home network or any network that doesn't have a sign-in page where I have to "accept" the terms. When I try to sign on to one that has an "accept" page, the page comes up blank. I don't have that problem when I sign on to the same network with my iphone. Does any one else have this problem? What am I doing wrong?
Mini-ipad
Model MD528LL?A
Version 6.1.3 (10B329)

You may not be doing anything incorrectly. If restarting the iPad as suggested above doesn't work, go back to the WiFi Setting and tap on the blue arrow next to the network that you just tried to join and tap Forget this Network in the next window. Then try joining that same network again by going back to the WiFi setting and select that network again. Sometimes refreshing the setting can help.
