I get a little box asking me what sort of connection I want to get to the internet, but I am already connected to the web when this happens. This just started happening, and I haven't changed any settings. How do I get rid this box (it asks me if I want dial up or broadband).

I want to connect to the internet using ethernet cable.

I want to use ethernet cable to connect to the internet. I follow the instructions, I am still unable to connect to the internet with the ethernet cable. I want faster browsing and uploads and download speeds

If you have a router connect an Ethernet cable from the cable/DSL modem to the WAN port on the router. Connect another Ethernet cable from one of the router's LAN ports to the Ethernet port on the computer. Open Network preferences, select the Ethernet port and click on the Advanced button. Click on the TCP/IP tab then select DHCP from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu. Click on the Apply button.
Turn off the computer, router, and modem. Wait at least one minute. First, turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate connection to your ISP. Second, turn on the router and wait until the status light shows communication with the modem. Last, turn on the computer.
If you do not have a router, then do the same as the above except that the Ethernet cable connects from the modem's Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port.

When on internet my iMac keeps going to gray screen with message reading 'You are not connected to the internet'. My wireless connection is fine for my other devices, why does my iMac keep losing connection with network?

I have read other post about this and one of them said to uncheck "enable auto channel scan" in my router settings and chang from chanel 6 to 5. I was able to change the channel to 5 but i can't find anywhere on their page where it has the option to uncheck "enable auto channel scan". I have a Netgear router WGT624 v3. Can anyone recomend anything?

I've had this problem for months and finally called Apple support and paid the one time support fee to get a solution. I purchased a 21.5" iMac in the summer of 2011 and am currently running OS X 10.7.3. After confirming all my wifi settings were correct (already suspected this, since every other wireless device in the house works great), the Apple support tech recommended changing channels on my router from "Enable Auto Channel Scan" to one channel out of the 11 available. I currently have a D-Link DIR-655 router, but the tech said the same structure exists on all wireless routers. In other words, my situation would not improve if I bought an Apple router (Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, etc). I logged into my router (here are common IP addresses for routers... http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/getrouteripaddr.htm , and made the channel preference change (in my case, unchecked "enable auto channel scan" and changed from channel 6 to channel 5). It's been a few days since applying this change and so far, I haven't lost my connectivity. Even though I live in a residential subdivision (not an apartment / condo), my iMac is detecting up to 21 other local networks and this was causing interference (some of my neighbors using the same channel). Sure enough, when I check the channels of nearby networks, I find many are using channel 6 and no one is using channel 5. To find out what nearby network channels are being used, go to Apple icon in top left, "about this Mac", "more info", "system report", under network choose "wifi", scroll down and see other wifi network info. Changing the router channel from auto enable to a specific channel has improved both my internet connectivity and speed (not sharing same channel with neighbors). Hope this helps!

Ensuring the iPhone isn't connected to the internet

Hello,
I have recently bought an iPhone.
I have managed to connect it to my home Wi-Fi network and it accesses the internet without any problems.
This is fine for home use, but I don't want to access the internet while out-and-about. I notice the user guide mentions that the iPhone will try Wi-Fi first, search for other Wi-Fi's second, and then try my Phone carrier last.
My questions are as follows:
1) Will the iPhone confirm that I want a connection with the internet via my phone carrier Before it actually connects?
2) When I do connect via the phone carrier, how can I ensure that the connection has been properly disconnected when I have finished? The phone always displays 3G whether it is actually using the internet or not or just connected to the phone carrier.
3) Is there a way to disable the iPhone connecting to the internet via the phone carrier without disabling normal phone functions or the Wi-Fi home network option?
I have a simple data package, and don't plan to connect that often unless I'm using a wireless network. As my data package is only small I want to limit accidental use, hence why I want to ba e=able to ensure I know when I am and am not connected ot the internet.
For thos of you in Australia, I'm using Telstra and the 3G network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Leon.

Hi Allan,
Thanks. Your answer above seems to already put my fears at ease.
No problem with having internet connection always available so that I can have it when I need it. I don't want to turn that off. Just wanted to make sure that as long as I don't use any applications that require internet connection, I don't get connected to the cellular network internet/data transfer and thus unknowingly eat up my free data hours. And, when I do use apps that do require internet connection, the connection/data transfer will automatically cease once I simply exit the apps.
Sometimes with such high tech products, I still have the need for something basic and outright such as -- 'disconnect from internet?' to ensure that I am really disconnected and not loosing my free hours... and worse of all, getting charged for use over the free hours!

Can't connect to the internet through router

I have an HP Pavillian DV6 laptop, DSL connection through ATT, a Linksys wireless N router. It had been working fine for abourt 7 months, Then all of a sudden I lost my network connection. I clicked in the right hand corner to connect to the network & it was gone. I have tried to re-run the software for the router & I get to where it wants to connect to the internet & it won't. I have tried to log into the router to run the setup on the internet explorer page using 192.168.1.1 I now can find my network, I click connect, it says it is connected, but no internet. I can connect to the internet if I plug the modem directly into my laptop, but once I connect from the modem to the router, it will not connect to the internet. I have been searching HP, CIsco, & even my maker of my wirelkess card to see if there were any driver updates. My wireless card says it is up to date. I tried to rest my BIOS, that didn't help either. I'm stumped, & I've spent entirely too much time trying to figure this out with no success, PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Reset your router to defaults. Here's the procedure.
Reconfigure the router so it would connect to the internet. Here's the procedure.
Reconfigure your wireless settings. Here's the procedure. I suggest you set your SSID to something unique. In addition, set your wireless security to WPA or WPA2. Don't use WEP as it is insecure.

No longer connecting to the internet

Hi,
My trusty BEFW11S4 does not want to connect to the internet any more.
I am able to connect directly through my cable modem, but when I plug the modem in to the router, and my computer in to the router... and reboot everything multiple times, it won't connect.
The internal network works fine and I am able to log in to the router, but for some reason it is is not connecting to the internet. Did something die on the linksys or should I upgrade my firmware? Any ideas?

Just powercycle the modem when the router is plugged into it.
The modem uses the mac address of the device directly connected to it to receive an ip address. If it works when your pc is connected, that means the modem still "sees" your nics mac address.
Just unplug the modems power for a minute (or if its a telephony modem press the reset button until it reboots) then reconnect it and you should be good.

Can't connect to the internet with Airport OR ethernet cable

I know many other people are having problems with airport not being able to connect to the internet. I've never had any problems with my mac before, but 2 days ago, it started to act really funny. When i turned it on, my time and date were changed to Jan. 1, 2000, and I kept on getting notifications about configd and mdnsresponder wanting to connect to the internet. I did a little research and fixed that problem. Then, a few days ago, my internet was dropped from my computer completely, and I've never been able to connect via airport since.
The main problem is that even when I plug the ethernet cable into my mac, I can't connect to the internet either. It worked a few days ago, but now my computer can't even connect. It registers that the cable is in the computer, but thats' about it. The Network Diagnostics assistant tells me to restart themodem, and that hasn't been helping at all. Any helpwould be appreciated.

First Reset your Pram to see if resets you clock (the different Date caused the problems. Plus open System Preferences->Date & Time pane. In there make sure you set the current date/time and se if you can have the Mac automatically update the time from a Time Server.

Firefox opens when I connect to the internet instead of opening to my home page

Occasionally when I want to connect to the internet, my home page does not appear; I see Mozilla Firefox that fills the screen instead. I want to go to my home page, Dvorak, from which I navigate to other sites, such as Google for a search. I do not want to see anything, update notice or Firefox's search, etc., from Mozilla Firefox when I try to connect! I have tried re-setting my home page. That works for a while, but eventually Mozilla Firefox comes up instead.

Restart my laptop every time I try to connect to the internet

Ever since we install this router, I have to restart my laptop when I want to connect to the internet. My computer worked fine with my other router. I have two newer laptops that do not experience this issue and I just bought a desktop and wireless adapter and it is fine as well. It is just my HP Pavillion dv6000 that is experiencing the problem. I have windows vista, but so does on of the the other laptops. Every computer in my home is wireless. What could be the issue?

Try to add the network manually on the computer and then check
Click on Start then click Control Panel.
Click on Network and Sharing Center.
Click on Manage Wireless Networks, then, remove all the Networks present in the list(right click and select remove network)...
Click on the Add button.
Click on Manually create a Network Profile.
Enter your Network Name(SSID), Security Type, Encryption Type, Security Key/Passphrase and check the box that says " Start this connection Automatically " , click Next...
It should say successfully added to your Network...
Close the window and it should connect...

WRT54GS won't connect to the internet through my wired computer

So, basically, I've had this router for awhile now, it used to work just fine, and I haven't changed any settings or anything of that sort.
But suddenly it decides that it doesn't want to connect to the internet anymore. I've tried troubleshooting it like a hundred times now. I've looked at the FAQs for help but none of them seem to partain to my problem because they mostly talk about the wireless connection not working. Which I'm sure mine would if it could work on the wired connection.
There's no problems with my ISP, when I connect my computer directly to the modem my internet works fine but when I try to connect through the router it just doesnt work at all.
So, I really dont know what the problem is but could you please help me?
ALSO...the power light in the back blinks too and I've tried doing the firmware update but it didnt work..I might've had the wrong DNS Servers, but I didn't really know where to go to get that, the walkthrough didn't exactly make that clear to me.
In short, my internet wont connect when using the router. Help?

hi i have read your problem but i can be wrong... because suppose to be your system have working before. i think can exist conflicts between modem ip address and router ip address. first disconnect your modem from your router put in your internet explorer 192.168.1.1 and if your router has password live user name area in blank. and put in password area admin and push return. when appear the setup menu ( must to be in basic setup menu by default) search the text Local IP Address 192.168.1.1 and let change for 192.168.2.1 and do click in save settings button turn off your modem your router and connect everything and turn on them. check if you get access internet service.

How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

According to:
http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
"Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?

My Apple Tv is connecting to the Wifi network but is not connect to the internet. So when I look for it on my Airplay it doesn't come up. I have 3 other ones already working on the network and they are all fine.

My apple TV is finding and connecting to the Wifi network but then says it is not connected to the internet and then I cannot find it on the iPad through airplay. I don't want it connected to the internet (as in www.) because for the use I have I only need to use the Apple tvs locally in a sports hall as scoreboards. I have 3 others working on the same router and they are working fine (as of yesterday)
On my screen I see (obviously not written like this)
network connect- yes
signal strength- fine
Ip address- fine
DCN- fine
Activation- Failed
This is the only negative I can find and the statement that the Apple TV has connected to the wifi but is not connected to the internet.
Where has it gone wrong for me. Please help

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

The PC Repair Guy,
If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues. If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
to make sure you have
Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
You may also want to check the
Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1.
Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one. Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
Hope this helps!
