[SOLVED]wlan0 connects to wireless network, but internet does not work

I have a Compaq Presario A900 laptop just installed Arch on it, went through the wireless Wiki and also checked this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65467 (similar issue but I don't use any proxy). It has Broadcom card, 4311 Rev 02. I tried both the b43-firmware and broadcom-wl AUR packages and b43 works with my card.
I have tried with the shell to connect but "iwlist wlan0 scan" always returns no results. (Yes, I did try ifconfig eth0 down first as well before bringing wlan0 up). So I have tried wicd and it worked to connect me to my wireless network which uses WPA, and signal shows ~80% strength, however ping google.ca, nothing works as far as connected to the net.
Any output I should show I will if I have forgotten, thanks very much for your help!

Thanks for your help hokasch, however it was a result of needing to reboot and have proper daemon in rc.conf, and it has been working great last few days Thanks!

Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router. All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4. It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page. Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your response.
I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router. Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully. Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast. I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist. To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages. He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g". The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home. This difficulty is at a second home.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.

Hi,
I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though. Toggling the wifi setting clears
the issue temporarily but it occurs again. Running iOS 8.3 now. This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well.
I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz. It is configured with all bands with the same name.
All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Have you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on? This seems to solve a lot of problems.

I can connect to wireless network, but it doesn't work

I am able to connect to my wireless network from my iPad and iPhone, but it's not working.

If you are able to connect to your wireless network as you state.....then can you provide more details about what is not working?

My iPhone 4s connects to wifi networks, but internet own't work with password protected networks

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S. I have been having issues with my wifi. It works for several months, but one day for no reason I have been able to determine, the wifi stopped working. It has been many weeks since it has worked. I have tried several networks (home, work, relative's houses, etc...)
After visiting the Apple Genius Bar, I was told it was probably a software issue the wifi worked fine in the apple store on a unprotected network which showed that the wifi was able to function. It was recommended that I backup and then to a full reset to factory settings.
I did the backup and reset. It has had no effect on my ability to use internet to secured networks.
I also updated the iOS to the most recent update ( 6.0.1) to see if that would help, but it didn't.
To summarize:
-iPhone connects to wifi networks
-Unable to use internet (or other data functions) while connected to a password protected wifi...but able to do so on unprotected networks.
-Already tried resetting network settings.
-Already tried resetting to factory settings.
-Already tried updating iOS.
Thanks

Might be a wifi router issue. Try power cycling the router and/or updating it's firmware. You might also try temporarily removing any security features until you get it sorted out. If still an issue, it might be wifi on the iPhone itself... there have been many reports of wifi problems with iOS6. Have you restored as new, i.e. without your backup? You could also Google for ways to downgrade back to iOS5.
Regarding the Chipotle issue, go for the bowl instead of the burrito.

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

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 droping 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

I have a 4th gen iPod touch and I can not connect to the Internet even though my iPad works and my computer let's me get into the Internet. It gives me a message cannot to server. Please help I have tried to reset it but that does not work

I have a iPod touch 4th gen. And I cannot get into the Internet I get a message that say cannot connect to server. The other computer and my iPad still work with the Internet . I have reeked to reset it but that does not work. Please help me.

I do not know wat "reeked to reset" means.
Try the following:

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Power off and then on your router.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card?

I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card? How would I know. Airport utility in my mac says no other devices connected.

If both your MacBook Pro and iPod are unable to "see" the Wi-Fi network provided by the AirPort Express, it is most likely NOT that you are missing an "airport card," but the Express may be the issue instead.
One quick test is to see if either device can "see" other Wi-Fi networks. If they can, then you can definately rule both of them out as the issue.
By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can either device see this network? If not, then I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, check again.

I'm trying to extend the range of an Airport Extreme 802.11g by adding an Airport Express 802.11n. I set the Express up to join the existing network, but it does not make any difference in the range of the network. What's wrong?

Let me see if I can help you with the basic WDS configuration steps:
Note: To help facilitate the setup, temporarily connect the AXn directly to the AEBS LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Once the setup is complete, you can move the AXn to the desired location. For all configuration steps you will be using the AirPort Utility. Before starting, be sure to jot down the AppleIDs for both base stations.
802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) Configuration
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
Manual Setup > WDS tab
WDS Mode: WDS main
Allow wireless clients (checked)
WDS Remotes: <enter the AppleID for the AXn here>
Click on Update and allow the base station to restart.
802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) Configuration
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > Wireless tab
Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network (Note: You may have to hold down the Option (Mac) or Control (PC) key to see this option in the list.)
Manual Setup > WDS tab
WDS Mode: WDS remote

The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app.
