Hello Neil1687,
Welcome to Apple discussions and to Mac; )
Under the Blue Apple > System preferences > Software Update >* Installed
updates, do you have the 2 updates listed below ?
2006-05-29 11:31:17 -0400: Installed "AirPort Software" (4.2)
2006-05-29 11:37:21 -0400: Installed "AirPort Extreme Driver Update 2005-001" (1.0)
Do you know about Running Disk permissions repair ? That is a must before updating any apple software. Look at this article Travis A.'s Regular Maintenance/General Troubleshooting .Focus on letter " a)"
You may have to update Airports software if you do not have aforementioned software updates installed.
* However Software installed via Downloads on Apple will not show In Installed Software.
Those will show in HD>Library > Receipts Folder [ go to list mode] see what you have for Aiport.pkg [s] * Do Not move any files from the folder.
Since you have the card installed there may be more then i show above, i do not have a card installed yet on my 'puter 10.3.9.
Under The Blue Apple again run your "Software Update.." to see what, if anything is there for you, however you should run disk repair before & after
the update, make sure all other applications are "Quit".
Update only the airport for now ignore other updates.
This will show us also if you can connect to the web.
This forum maybe helpful to you Getting Online
Please let us know, i hope I have not confused you.
Any questions please post them.

Internet Connectivity Issues

By process of elimination, I may have the right source of my problem, but may not!
Recently purchased a Time Capsule, primarily to replace my old Airport Extreme and extend its effective range within a new house. At the same time, I upgraded my iMac OS to Snow Leopard (so maybe this has caused a problem?!)
In the last few days have been having severe internet connectivity issues - either v slow speeds or so slow that Mail and/or Safari times out. My ISP tells me that their lines are working fine (I know they would say that, wouldn't they) and, admittedly, my old Powerbook (connected to the Airport network and onto the DSL router) is running Internet applications fine. So somthing seems to be wrong with the iMac or its setup.
Have run Network Diagnostics which tell me there's no problem (except it's still really slow!) and have obviously rebooted repeatedly (including the router and Time Capsule).
Any ideas?

Hello AnaB4,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you are getting a message to connect to server to update ink levels when printing with the 8620. This has been an issue since the weekend, server problems have been noted as the cause. The only resolution I know of at this time is to follow the steps here: Re: How do I correct the date on my HP Envy 4500?, or keep hitting OK.

Internet connectivity issues on Mac

I was wondering if there was any solution to an internet connectivity issue I'm having on a mac. It seemed to start when I purchased a new modem: an iPrimus AudioCodes MP252 wireless router. Basically the internet connection will either drop out or become stagnant/very slow. There have been no connection/speed issues on any Windows PC or laptop, but often when you try to use the internet on the mac it precipitates a network dropout, thus affecting the connection on Windows computers as well.
I'm trying to see if there's anything else that can be done besides taking it in to be serviced. ISP support hasn't been able to fix the issue, so perhaps it is some sort of compatibility issue between that particular modem and Apple Macs. Obviously the last resort is buying a new modem.
Modem: AudioCodes MP252 Series wireless router

My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

Hi Kevin,
I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input. I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy. I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
Nathan.

TS1317 Internet Connectivity Issue - specifically with the DNS settings

Hi there,
I'm wondering if someone can help me resolve an internet connectivity issue on my MacBook Pro.
It appears to be a problem specifically with the DNS settings. I am connected to the internet but can only reach a website by typing in the IP address, not the domain name. The error messahe says: "Unable to resolve server's DNS address."
Regardless of whether I use Wifi, 3G modem or cable, i get the same error.
Operating System is Mac OSX Version 10.6.7
Please help!
Thanks

It sounds like your MacBook Pro has either incorrect or missing DNS IP address information in it network profile. Let's start with your wireless connection. You would find these in System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > DNS tab
If your main Internet router is performing as the DHCP server, it would provide the DNS IP addresses (typically from your ISP) on this tab. You may have two or more addresses listed. If they are grayed, that means that the addresses are coming from the DHCP server.
In the following example screen shot, I am using DNS servers provided by OpenDNS. Notice that they are grayed as they are being provided by my main Internet router. Again, these should be either ones provided by your ISP or ones you purposely set up, like my OpenDNS ones.

4S Verizon Network / Internet Connectivity Issues?

I have been having problems with what appears to be Verizon Network/Internet Connectivity issues. I am located in northern Colorado, using an iPhone 4S with a Mophie Air battery backup/case.
I am in a solid 4G area (even though the phone is 3G) and I have not had any problems with any connection issues, until last night. I still see three bars of 3G service on the phone indicator area...so it is decieving.
I can still recieve emails, text messages, and phone calls, but nothing that uses the internet will work. All apps seem to try to open and try to update, but the whizzy-wheel indicator just sits and spins until I get a "Network Error" message or a time out error of some kind. Most error pop-ups are saying to check the internet settings and try again. Ugh!
Also, since it seems to be trying to recognize the network all the time (even when all tasks are killed and nothing should be running), my battery is going down MUCH faster today! I took it off of the charger at 7am and it was down to 20% battery in only 4 hours! Then I turned on the battery backup, and it is quickly using that up too! At this rate my phone will be completely DEAD by the time I leave work today, and I haven't even used it for anything all day (except to try to connect to the web a few times - testing)!
I have tried the following so far to try to regain internet through the Verizon network, to no avail:
checked for software updates...phone was up to date with iOS 6.0.1
checked my firmware version (it is 3.0.04)
killed all background/running apps (with the home button double-click/hold icon/end)
"reset" my phone via a couple of methods (both the regular power off option and the force-power off option).
*228, option 2 (to reset Roaming)
cleared all data cache areas/cookies/etc.
Cellular data is set to "On"; Roaming is set to "On" for all options;
I have a 64GB device (57.3 usable capacity) of which I still show 46.2 available.
WiFi is set to "Off" (although I can use WiFi at home with no problem if I need to, but I shouldn't have to!)
Airplane Mode is set to "Off"; Restrictions are set to "Off"; Bluetooth is set to "Off"
Basically, there is NO REASON my phone should be having connection issues!
PLEASE HELP?!!

I tried everything you did and more, i thought i had it working, but i got a voicemail today and when i went to open it earlier it just has the wheel loading forever and then says it cant onnect to voicemail. the searching does make it wear down the battery faster as well. i can get calls, texts etc, but i cant help but think there are a few bugs with the ios 6.01 software

EA6900 Internet Connection Issue - Desktop connected via ethernet cable

Hi there,
I have an HP p6837c, 64-bit OS with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. My internet connection constantly drops (as in variably every 5 seconds to 5 minutes) then re-establishes itself. I have no internet connection issues when directly connected to the modem. All of the wirelss devices that are connected via the EA6900 are working without any issue. My husband's laptop, which has Windows 8.1, functions with no problem when directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. We've tried swapping out the cable. We've tried adjusting the MTUs per Support's suggestion. Nothing has solved the issue
Any thoughts on what the issues might be? Settings? The version of Windows? Any help would be much appreciated!

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router and PC, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.
I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Airport Extreme Base Station Internet Connection issue

I have a connection question for Airport Extreme Base Station.
I have Comcast cable broadband. I connect that to a Linksys router for
use with my Vonage phone, and then from the Linksys router I connect
via Ethernet to my iMac. I like the direct Ethernet connection for
performance reasons.
In order to set up a home network to connect my Tivo's (and eventually
my PC and printer), I have set up an Airport Extreme Base station and
connected it to the Linksys router from it's ethernet connection to the
WAN (cable modem) input on the Extreme.
I have connected to the Airport network with my iMac, but since I am
connected to the Internet via Ethernet, I cannot tell if my Airport is
connected to the Internet so that I can use it for my Tivo. My PC is
still in storage from a move, so I can't check with that.
My question: How can I tell if my Airport is connected to the Internet
without disabling my Ethernet connection on my iMac?
A few more info points/questions in case it helps answer:
1) I previously used this Airport to connect this iMac wirelessly.
2) Should I be connecting it to the LAN port since it's coming out of
the router?
3) If the connection issue is because I am going through the Linksys
first, can I connect the modem to the airport and then use the LAN port
to connect to the Linksys router?
4) If I have to disable the ethernet connection to test the Airport,
how do I do it? Just unplug it?
I appreciate any help as the online and manual help from Apple is not
quite up to par with such a complex configuration.
Regards
Bill

2) Should I be connecting it to the LAN port since it's coming out of
the router?
No, connecting to the WAN port is fine.
3) If the connection issue is because I am going through the Linksys
first, can I connect the modem to the airport and then use the LAN port
to connect to the Linksys router?
The issue is that you have two routers which effectively creates two networks. Unless this was your original intent, you will want to setup the AEBS as a bridge.
To set up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new settings.
- Wait at least 5 minutes.
4) If I have to disable the ethernet connection to test the Airport,
how do I do it? Just unplug it?
Well, that's certainly one way, but an easier way is to temporarily disable the "Built-in Ethernet" in your network configuration.
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Built-in Ethernet (unchecked)

Airport internet connection problems in OS X but not in XP or iBook

I have an iBook and an iMac, and the iMac has Leopard and XP on it. When in Leopard, most of the time, the internet connection is extremely slow and can never load a full page in Safari, always quitting halfway or the connection drops completely.
When I go into XP, the internet connection is perfectly fine and there are no speed issues and the connection is never dropped.
When I use my iBook, there is also no connection problems.
The crappy internet connection also affects Mail in such a way that I cannot quit Mail or Shut Down (until I force quit Mail).
I called apple the last time this happened and their solution fixed it, but the problem is back again.
Does anyone know how to fix this, or does anyone know if there is something wrong with my Airport?
(Its an aluminum iMac, 2.4 GHz running 10.5.7, and not using the Beta Safari)

Hello, I don't think I can help, I do have 10.7.3 & W7 Ultimate, but I run W7 in Parallels...

Airport extreme connection issues

Yesterday, I bought a new Comcast-compatible modem (Motorola SB5101) and an airport extreme. These replaced an old (5 years or so) SB5101 and an equally-old airport express, which was too old for my new MacBook Pro to be able to manage it through airport utility.
I replaced both components because I got sick of my internet connection dropping constantly, many times a day for the last few years. (I know, but it's true!)
Comcast insists that the signal coming into the house is fine and is constant, so it's not the ISP dropping the connection.
The cable comes into the house, into the modem. Ethernet goes from the modem into a Sprint AirRave (Sprint says that must be how it's set up). From the AirRave, the ethernet goes to the airport express. From there, I can connect computers and devices wirelessly, but from the airport express, an ethernet also goes into my home distribution panel, so that in each room of the house you can plug directly into the ethernet (about 8 outlets).
The problem happens whether or not the AirRave is installed.
Sometimes the connection drops for a few seconds and re-connects. Most often when it drops, and I go into Network Preferences Diagnostics, Wi-Fi = green light; same with Wi-Fi Settings, Network Settings, and ISP. But Internet and Server = yellow.
Sometimes running the diagnostic fixes it and it re-connects. Other times you must reset the airport and/or the modem. Sometimes it will not re-connect even after multiple times re-setting those deivces.
Since installing the airport extreme yesterday, sometimes I get a message on my Macbook Pro that says my MAC address is being used by another device (?).
I have no knowledge about networks AT ALL, no idea how my computer can have the same MAC address as anything else, no idea what specific settings I should be using -- I always have let the setup happen automatically.
If anyone has any idea how to solve this I'd be very grateful. I'm not sure whether I've given enough details, like I say I lknow NOTHING about how to set up a Network.
It was a nightmare setting it up yesterday, once I got it up according to instructions, I was in an endless loop -- every time I tried to open a page in my browser, I was taken to the Comcast Setup page instead, asking for my phone number and account number. Entering this took me to a new page saying "unable to connect with our system." I was on the phone with Comcast forever trying to fix it, resetting the modem and airport over and over again. Eventually somehow it worked, but later that night (and again already this morning) the connection has dropped a number of times.
I thought getting new components would fix the problem, now I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do.
Anyone?
Thanks!!
-- Craig.

Since installing the airport extreme yesterday, sometimes I get a message on my Macbook Pro that says my MAC address is being used by another device (?).
This usually indicates that there may be something amiss with the NAT service or that each network client cannot access it properly.
To verify that the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), Motorola modem, or Internet service is NOT the issue, we will temporarily remove the AirRave from the network equation.
To do so, please power-down the modem, AirRave, AEBSn, and computer(s). While they are all powered-down, disconnect the Ethernet cable going to the AirRave.
Next,
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the AirRave and Ethernet distribution patch panel.
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.
Temporarily connect the Ethernet cable coming from the modem to the WAN port of the AEBSn.
Reconnect the Ethernet cables coming from the AEBSn's LAN ports to the Ethernet Distribution Patch Panel.
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).
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.

Lost Airport Internet Connection

My wireless network/internet connection is no longer working and Applecare is telling me they are not allowed to assist b/c of legal issues with internet providers, so I'm hoping someone here can help me?!
I use my iMac as a base station for my MacBook Pro to connect to the internet using the Airport and it is no longer working.
My iMac is connected to cable modem (Best Data CMX300V2) through Ethernet and the internet connection is working fine, however the triangle airport icon at the top right of my desktop is now gray with a box inside it. When I got into System Preferences>Network, the iMac Airport is ON, but now saying "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet".
When I go into System Preferences>Network, for the MacBook Pro Airport it says it's connected and lists an IP address, but I have no internet connection. The MacBook Pro also has that gray triangle airport icon with the box at the top right of my desktop. I used Airport Utility to try to find the base station, but it was unsuccessful.
What is happening here?

Alright if your in desperado helpo then you will want to try and listen to this.
The MBP is built by ALUMINUM it's brushed and the metal screws have that problem with wireless. sometimes it will happen. I have both and that happends to me too. What I do is that your going to just have to go to the wireless sign and then click on Interfearence Robustness. If you do that. It should help more.
If you still have wireless issues try downloading APPLE CARE on your widgets. That always helps and that is where I usually go before I come to here for help.
I hope my info works.

Multiple Internet Connection Issues

Hi there, long time reader first time poster.
I figured I should post this as, while having read through hundreds of similar posts I still can't figure out how to solve my connectivity issues.
I just bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 3.2Ghz i3 model and while I am happy with the machine overall, it is the second one in a month - the first had a faulty ethernet port and refused to connect to the internet out of the box. Apple replaced it without question - almost as if they knew.
The replacement has now seemingly developed the same issue.
Some background info. The computer was connected both through ethernet and through the TC I bought to back it up until yesterday. So I was getting both a wireless signal from the TC and one through ethernet.
I have a hub that has 5 devices connected to it ( Printer, Cable TV, iMac and TC - now a PS3 ) That hub is served a signal by a simple NTT modem connected to a phone line. That modem is now nearly 5 years old but has always given great net speeds so I don't believe the problem to be the modem - I could be wrong though.
I just bought a PS3 and tried connecting it yesterday but had multiple problems. Despite me entering the correct PPPoE information to the letter, the PS3 refused to connect, saying the password and username was incorrect. I could connect it via a Bluetooth signal but no hard wired connection would work.
So I unplugged everything from the hub, shut down all the machines, turned off the modem and let it sit for 10 minutes and then plugged the ethernet cable from the PS3 straight into the modem, giving it a direct line. Switched on modem, rebooted PS3 and tried again - this time it connected through ethernet. I still don't know how or why. I can guess but I'm sure you guys know much more about this than I do.
So then I tried connecting the iMac back to the net, reconnected all the hub, followed the same procedure. Off, sit for a bit, on etc. This time the PS3 has no connection and now the iMac has no connection either!
The TC gave a green light though so I was able to get wireless. I tried removing all net locations from the iMac, installing new ones, renewed the DHCP lease, but no matter what I did (PPPoE info 100% correct) it just refused to establish a connection.
The the bloody TC light flashed amber and I couldn't get wireless either despite being plugged into the hub and getting a signal! The PS3 is now working and the cable is fine so I am starting to think either I have cluster ****** the whole setup or something is wrong with the iMac.
I go away for an hour then come back and the stupid TC has somehow picked up a connection! The light is green again?! But now the time connected display is scrolling repeatedly. I've got net but what the **** is wrong with all this?
Bottom line - not ethernet connection for the iMac but TC seems to be working and all other devices have a connection.
Please help me if you can! I just can't figure any of this out.

Your description is a bit confusing, but I use English as a second language, so it may be just me.
1. How is the hub connecting to your modem, by ethernet cable or wirelessly?
2. Which device is negotiating the internet connection with your ISP, the modem?
3. Does the device that negotiates the connection use PPPoE?
4. How are the other devices being handed their internet connection? DHCP only?
Only one device should be connecting directly to your ISP using the PPPoE protocol and configured with your account username and password. This device is preferably the modem. This device should be configured to hand out internal IP addresses to the other devices on your LAN using DHCP. All of the other devices should be configured to request an IP from that device, whether by ethernet or wi-fi, just with DHCP.

Windows 7 and internet connection issue

I am having a problem connecting to internet on Windows 7 OS. I have a Macbook that installed Windows 7 on Bootcamp. When I connect the DSL wire to my computer in dormitory it connects automatically. But when I go to somewhere else it doesn't connect. I also tried to connect using IP address which consists of 4-5 rows of numbers. Unfortunately, I cannot find the tab where I can enter these IP address numbers. So I was wondering if there is something wrong with my Network Driver (or may be it is missing some networking drivers).
The main reason I want to connect to the Internet in Windows system is because I need to activate Keyshot (which requires internet connection and it works only on windows platform). My teacher said if the IP system is different on the Windows installed Macintosh, then it may not activate the product. So I was wondering if my Windows networking system works differently from Windows system on normal PC. If so how to fix this connection problem. Sorry if my question is too complicated.
But again, I am able to connect on my windows at home. But this connection is still not allowing me to activate the software. As I understood, this program requires normal internet connection of Windows. I don't know what is wrong with my computer.

Thanks for the direction. Did you mention the Bootcamp forum within this Apple.com or are you talking about a forum that exists outside of apple.com (maybe some website solely devoted to Bootcamp or windows issues)?

IMac and internet connection issue

Dear Forum members,
I have a number of iMac's. However on one of them when a try and connect to a certain site, I get "Safari can't connect to server" message. It also says safari can't open the page "http://www.somewebsite.com/" because Safari can't connect to the server "www.somewebsite.com".
Please note www.somewebsite.com is just a made up name.
When I googled around it seems to indicate a firewall is blocking this URL. So I did the following:
Make sure OSX firewall is turned off - it always was.
Tried to flush the cache by typing dscacheutil -flushcache but to no avail.
Tried accessing using Firefox - same result
Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue.
I am running OSX Version 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2
Thanks
Max

HT1695 iPad 3 iOS6 upgrade internet connectivity issue

I just upgraded my WIFI only new iPad to iOS 6 and as soon as it finished the install it lost connection with my wireless network. It recognizes the network and I can even inter the password, but then it says unable to connect. How do I fix this issue since I cannot even exit the setup for iOS 6 without an internet connection?
When I upgraded my iPhone 4s today to iOS 6 I also noticed that it is also unable to connect to my wifi, however, my laptop, playstation, etc connect just fine (its not a router issue).
Please help.

Help
I am also having this exact problem. I am unable to connect to my FIOS wifi router (which I usually have disabled) but am unable to connect to my Netgear WG102 Access Point - with WPA2 or no security - I get the same error message - unable to connect
Apple.....I think you guys have F#$%ED up with whatever you did. All my other devices on IOS5 work, but my IOS6 devices now do not work with Netgear.
