Shows Full Signal -- Isp, Internet, Server failing

So I'm attempting to figure out why my macbook won't connect to my friends wireless router. It shows that I have full signal strength and that I'm connected, but still the internet fails. I've tried network diagnostics, and it shows green for Airport and Airport Settings and then Orange for Network settings, and Red for ISP, Internet and Server.
I tried fiddling around with the IP address but nothing seems to be working on that front.
The only thing I've found that makes this router an anomaly for my system is the fact that it uses a WEP password. All other routers I've used have been WPA, though I'm not sure what the difference is and whether it would even make a difference.
Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

My new MacBook had exactly the same symptoms. I tried adjusting every setting, and even replaced my Linksys router with an Airport Extreme, but the problems persisted. I just exchanged that MacBook for a new one (same model), and have not experienced any connection problems--yet.
I suspect, but cannot prove, this may be a hardware issue.
There are several other threads on related WiFi problems that might be helpful to you.

macbook air comes with mountaine lion 10.8.4 installed i updated to 10.8.5 but i have same problems with both versions of software.
so i run diagnostics and im almost always have first 3 icons green and always (when there is no connection) i have other 3 icons red and failed
ISP
INTERNET
SERVER
and asistent tells me that i need to check my router and access points,all other devices in my home works normaly with the same router.
i know that new macbook air 2103 comes with new 802.11ac Wi-Fi and as far as i know its a 5ghz i read someone have same problem with the same macbook air but different router,and he is assuming that new wi fi AC is not backward compatibile with the older or regular routers,i dont know if this is true but can someone try to help me to solve this problem,maybe i need to change settings in mac?

in the manual i linked up on resent post you can see how to acces the router.
it says
Step 1
Launch a browser on your computer. Enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address box, and press Enter.
Step 2
On the login page, enter your user name and password.
 By default, both the user name and password are user.
 For security reasons or to make the user name and password easy to remember, you can change them. For details, see section 4.1 "Changing the User Name and Password for the Web-Based Configuration Utility".
Step 3
Click Login.
After verification, the web-based configuration utility is displayed.
The first time you log in to the web-based configuration utility, a configuration wizard is displayed. To skip the wizard and further configure your HG532e, click Here when the following message displays: Click Here to enter the advanced configuration page.
and go to advanced configuration page and se WiFi settings, check transfer mode/protocol 802.11 if it is on b/g b/g/n
you can try to set it to 802.11g only and change channel to 11 or 9
Yes you need to do that on your mac when your connected to the network, then you will get an Advance view option over WiFi.

Macbook ISP, Internet, Server Fail

My macbook pro has been having difficulties with wifi for some time now. When connected on wifi I frequently get the red ISP, Internet, and Server fails. I've noticed this only happens from my room and if I get closer to the router it's fine. But I used to be able to use it far from my router before, and my iPhone and iPad connect flawlessly where ever I am. On the odd chance that I do have a connection the speeds are usually pretty slow. Could this be a problem with my mac?

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
          PHY Mode
          Channel
          Security
          Signal/Noise or RSSI
          Transmit (or Tx) Rate
Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
Now hold down the option key again and select
           ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

My Macbook pro processor is a 2.4 GHz intel Core i5 using Mac OS X. I go to the network diagnostics and it starts to work. After about a minute the ISP and Server fail. Same thing happens when I try again. My desktop internet works fine.

Imac suddenly dropping ISP/INTERNET/SERVER all the time

Since adding a new Macbook Pro to my home setup my iMac continually drops ISP/INTERNET/SERVER once its connected. All other devices are absolutely fine and connected to BT Home Hub with BT Infinity. When I perform Network Diagnostics it tells NETWORK CHANGE DETECTED - I click OK and its fine for 30 seconds then drops out again. The WIFI light is always green and I've tried 2 other computes and iPhone in the same location and they are fine too. I have also tried resetting the Home Hub but this doesn't help.
I can't help thinking its a device problem rather than a BT problem but wanted to check here first before calling them.
All help much appreciated - as I said this has only just started happening and the only difference to the setup is that I've added a new laptop into the setup.
Thanks
S

Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
And are there usually full bars?

My iphone 4 Carrier signal is very weak just shows one bar and often shows No Service followed by searching and again one signal bar I have had a lot of drop calls, I have tested the sim card on my Samsung Ace which shows full Signal strength I am on the latest iphone firmware 5.1.1 with 4.12.01 baseband I have tried resetting the iphone did o full restore twice. I guess there is something wrong with the iphone hardware? Has anyone had similar issues and how they fixed it?

Take the device to Apple or an Apple authorized service center and let them check it out.

Wi-fi icon shows full signal - iphone 4s won't connect to anything?

Hi,
My iphone 4s shows that I am connected to wi-fi and have a full signal, however it is not actually connecting to anything; safari, apps, can't send email, can't 'see' phone on my mobile phone tracker etc.
I tried reseting the network connections, which did solve the problem but literally only for a few minutes. So frustrating.
Has anyone got a permanant solution to this problem? All relevant software is bang up to date. The phone itself is brand new, only 1 day old.
Please help!

Try rebooting the router. Just pull the power for a few seconds, plug back in, wait for the router to settle and see if you still have the problem.

Express won't connect to internet, yet shows full signal

I have just had BT infinity installed last week every thing was working fine but i wanted to replace a very old telephone extension cable from my BT walk socket at the other end of my flat to a really good quality ADSL cable which would plug in to my Draytek Vigor 130 modem which then links into a time capsule, i then have an airport express and an airport extreme (in bridge mode) to extend my Wifi coverage. Bt infinity worked fine until i replace the ADSL cable but why do the routers now say there is full bars yet cannot connect to the internet? Can anyone help???

Ok, with the Draytek performing basic modem functions, you will want to leave the Time Capsule in router mode.
We can now add the other two base stations, one at a time, to extend the Time Capsule's Wi-Fi network. Again, I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on both of these base stations. For each base station, you will want to determine the ideal location for extending the TC's signal. Please refer to the following AirPort User tip for details on station placement. This tip is best performed using a Mac laptop. Note: Be sure that only the Time Capsule is operating while taking the SNR measurements as you only want to know its signal quality at the location you plan on placing the extending base station. You may find their current location is not ideal using this tip.
Once you determined the best location for each extending base station bring both to the same room that you have the Time Capsule. I would then recommend that you use the "automated" setup within the AirPort Utility to configure each for an extended network one at a time. Verify that network is extended before going on to configure the second base station. Finally, after each base station has been verified, move them to the locations that you determined using the tip.

Macbook Pro 5,1 Internet & Server "failed" but can still surf the web

Hello! I know there are many discussions concerning this topic, and I have read many of them to fix the problem but no luck. I use a TimeCapsule Airport to connect wirelessly to my internet. I have two other laptops (one Macbook Pro and one Dell) that also can connect to the wireless. The TimeCapsule is connected to a router that's jacked into the wall, therefore my Airport Utility connects using automatic DHCP and assigns IP addresses within that router. My Network Diagnostics states that all of my network points are connected up until the Internet and Server, both of which say "failed" (more explicitly: Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP are all green while Internet and Server are red). The same thing happens if I plug my ethernet cable into my macbook. My other devices connect to the internet just fine and the other Macbook shows all green for diagnostics.
With this, I am unable to connect to software updater, help, and various other server-requisite connections/programs. This ***** because my battery also requires a software update as the System Profile shows it as "Condition: Check Battery" and my Macbook is constantly crashing for no reason (fully charged, no warning) when it runs on battery.
I've restarted my router many times, unplugged all power/connection cables and nothing. I've reset my TimeCapsule and nothing. I'm at a loss! Can someone please help? Thanks!

I finally solved the problem by myself.
For anyone reading this thread and having similar issues, I quickly describe how I did it:
Basically, I changed totally nothing on either Soft- or Hardware side.
But what I did was disassemble my MBP, remove one of those 2 memory chips, un- and replugged the SSD, turned the system on with just one memory chip, let it run for a while (did some stress tests on the SSD that ususally lead to massive problems) and everything worked smooth.
At first I thought the one memory I removed was bad, but to my surprise the system continued to work stable after I put it in again.
Since 6 days my MBP runs smooth without any troubles like spinning wheels or whatsoever.
I've read many threads from other people having similiar issues with this configuration, coming up with a lot of ideas and workarounds.
Although this seems to be weird, I hope that it helps some of you facing the same weird behaviour.

Internet & Server failed

Hello fellow mac users
I have had an annoying problem with my new macbook for a few months now, and I can't seem to wrap my head around it.
My internet connection has this annoying problem:
Every few minutes, my internet stops working.
The Network Diagnostics show green lights for AirPort, Airport Settings, Network Setings and ISP. When the problem occur, the Internet and/or the Server lights are yellow or red. (With faliure written underneath).
I've tried changing DNS servers a bunch of times, but it does not seem to solve the problem.
This happens with every browser, and with both ethernet and wifi, and both at work, in school and at home.
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.6
Thanks in advance

You should have taken it in ASAP when your first noticed this "new" Mac Book. This is NOT normal!

Laptops show great signal but internet doesn't work

My desktop and several laptops within my family all show excellent internet signals (5 bars); however, two of our laptops connect to the internet but their browsers say we are not connected to the internet (or a "connection is limited"). Two other laptops work fine. I do not think it is a bandwidth issue and I think there is enough room because I have tried connecting with the two bad laptops when all other devices are turned off.
Could my operating system have anything to do with it? I have leopard right now and am considering upgrading to snow leopard.
Thanks

Hard-2 ,
First think to check it to see what IP address it has picked up, if it's 192.x.x.x then fine, if 196.x.x.x the it hasn't got it's self configured, presuming you are using DHCP from the router?

I upgraded to Fiber Optic today and now my ipad mini won't connect to the internet although it shows a signal

As the title says, we changed to fiber optics today (yay! so speedy) and all our devices (Macbooks, iphones) connect just fine. My ipad mini (about 1 year old) won't connect although it finds the network on the airport effertlessly and shows full signal bars as if it is connected. For all intents and purposes it looks like it is connected, but it isn't. I have done all the usual - turned on and off (router and device), forgotten network, renewed network lease, reset network settings, reset all settings, etc. Everthing! Still not working. Help please!!!!!!

Hello Tom,
So this is the Airport Forum. Hence when you were discussing your "Airport", one assumes you are referring to the Airport Extreme or Airport Express (ie - http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/ or http://www.apple.com/airport-express/). It is slightly confusing when Apple refers to the Airport being the wireless in devices as well as their wireless routers.
It would help us if you told us what type of connection, for instance I live in the UK and have Fibre Optic (to cabinet) and have a cable modem from Virgin Media, which I have then connected (via ethernet) an Apple Airport Extreme (6th Gen) to distribute the internet connection and my local LAN.
Maybe you had ADSL prior and are now on Fibre via cable?

Internet connection fails on other user accounts

I'm having an issue since upgrading to Yosemite. I'm on a MacBook Pro (2012). I have not had any problems on my account (admin). However I have another User account set up on the same laptop for my girlfriend. When she is logged in under her account, she seems to lose access to the internet after about 5 minutes. The page doesn't load and then comes up with a server not available error. I attempted to restart the browser, turn off and on wifi (which shows full signal and she can access the printer and other things on the network) and the problem continued. I switched to my account and the internet worked fine, switched back to hers, and it still would not load a page.
The only way to correct this we found was to log her account out and log back in. Then it worked fine for another 5 minutes and the same problem occurred again. This has been happening repeatedly since the upgrade. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have also rebooted the airport extreme which seemed to help for a couple of hours, but the problem has started again.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
_Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Location > Edit Location.
_Add a new network location and give it a name like "home"
_Click apply and then lock the pad lock
_Restart the computer and test.
Hope that helps.

Phone has full signal but will not send texts

I am on a contract with an S5 mini and can have it showing full signal and 4G but I have to go walk about to try to get a text to send, my friends will send me texts that arrive hours later, in a completely random order to which they were sent some have never arrived. I use to be on O2 and in my front room I did very rarely have an issue with texts going but they would go within a minute or 2 with EE I can try switching my phone on and off and walking all round the house and the garden and they still won't go, yet I can pick up 4G and call using the phone. This is very annoying.

Hi I don't think that will be the answer as I don't receive 4G indoors and that is a really bad place to send and receive texts but I will try that when I am outside thanks
