Strong WiFi, but MacBook Pro says no internet connection.

Even though I have a strong WiFi signal (symbol in upper right corner of screen), Safari says I have no Internet connection. Mail also.
So I have to restart my router every 5-10 minutes. It works for a few minutes and then no connection again.
My iPad3 still has a connection when the MacBook Pro says none is available.
Router is a 2-Wire 1800HG.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Try changing the channel in the router's admin area.

My macbook pro says I am connected to the internet but won't load pages

my macbook pro says I am connected to the internet with a strong signal but it won't load any pages. The internet works fine on my iPhone and other computers so it must be an issue with my macbook. Any suggestions??

Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.

My Macbook Pro 13" lost Internet connection last night. Why?

My Macbook Pro 13" lost Internet connection last night. It's still out today, but my mother's Windows machine still gets it just fine. What happened to my Mac? The folks at Comcast told me it's a problem for Apple to fix. I'm hoping someone here can give me some insight.

see if there is anything for you.

Ipad is showing connected to wifi but it is saying its not connected to internet. I have reset all settings, tried to change IP address and subnet mask and nothing is working.

My ipad mini 3 is not showing that it is connected to the wifi, but it is saying it is not connected to the internet. I have reset network settings and then reset all settings and it has not worked. I have tried to change it to static and change the IP address and the subnet mask and that is not working either. I have also tried to use the wifi in different places and that doesn't work either. Please help!!!! iPad is useless without the internet.

1. Set router back to Auto DHCP.
2. Turn off router for 30 seconds and on again.
3. Re-boot iPad.

Macbook Pro has good internet connectivity, but when I try to open a web page it will not open

I have good internet connectivity but cannot open any webpages , since I cleared all History. Also System is slow - spinning pinwheel spins forever!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Sharing MacBook Pro's Airport internet connection with PS3 through Ethernet

Can this happen?
Tried several times and the connection seems to fail every time.
Any ideas?

In OSX I haven't got my iPod touch to do diddly squat, but it does work in Bootcamp XP, although in an odd way. If no activity in about 10 seconds the next time you enter a web address or something into the iPod Touch it seems to take awhile to re-enable the connection, but other than that it works rather dependably.
My setup:
Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz used with Sprint EX720 Expresscard used in Bootcamp with Windows XP. Now I bought my God Daughter a touch iPod the same day I bought mine and it appeared that hers worked in OSX. I will get with her hopefully this evening to confirm this. If it is true I may try exchanging mine, since both were bought only a few days ago.
I spend more of my leisure time in XP anyway, just wish it wouldn't - oh wait, here's another thing; if my Powerbook is sharing the wireless connection from my Macbook Pro, which is in Windows, there is absolutely no pausing and the iPod Touch works like a charm. So evidently it is the iPod which is breaking the connection when no other device is using it; I notice it searches for new connections every 10 seconds (if you watch that little spinning ball icon which appears every ten in Settings/WiFi networks in the iPod display. Maybe someone has some clues as to what's going on there. Is there a way to set up a ping or something OR stop it from searching for new connections to keep the MBP connection active?

Macbook Pro (mid 2010) internet connection problem

I just bought new MacBook Pro. I connect it via Ethernet, and all of the settings are what they should be, and it says that it is connected, but when i open safari, it doesn't open any page, saying "can't open the page, the server is not responding", and itunes doesn't connect to the itunes store either. At the same time, when i plug the cable in my dekstop pc, everything is fine.

If you had the cable plugged into the PC and then swapped the cable and plugged it into the MBP you need to power cycle your modem so it forgets that it was connected to the PC. And vice versa.

My mac book pro retina won't access the internet through wifi. It picks up the signal but it just says no internet connection.

I don't know whether i've changed the settings but i can't see what i've done. I've got it plugged into the home hub and it works fine but for some reason it says theres no wifi available from the same hub that my other devices are attached to. I've tried it on several wireless internet sources and all say there is no internet available.
Please Help!

Go step by step and test.
1.Power Cycle
   Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
   Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
   It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

2. Turn off Extensions, if any.
     Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Relaunch Safari.
3. Turn off proxies, if selected.
     System Preference > Network > Advanced > Proxies Tab
     Under "Select Protocol", uncheck any box if selected.
     Click "OK" then "Apply"
4. Uninstall anti-virus software, if installed.

My IPOD and Macbook Pro both will not connect to the Itunes store through Itunes says no internet connection, but I can connect through safari and I have a internet connection

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

My MacBook Air says it in connected to my wifi, but my wifi signal has a "!" sign on it. My computer will not allow internet access, help?

My MacBook Air says it in connected to my wifi, but my wifi signal has a "!" sign on it. My computer will not allow internet access, help?

When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Applyand test.
If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

I have an HP model Pavilion a6528p tower PC, a Belkin F6D4230-4 wireless router,
My Brother HL2140-XML laser printer is connected via
USB cable to my HP tower PC
My operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium. My
ISP is Time Warner Cable.
My wife's laptop is an Apple MacBook Pro and currently accesses the internet via the Belkin wireless router.
NOW,
I want to set up the MacBookPro to send documents wirelessly and print them on the laser printer.
All of the other threads I found deal with Windows PC's but I have one PC and one Mac.
I need instructions on how to set up the Apple MacBookPro.
Thanks.

Hey patriot80,

Macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

This isn't reference in any of the online support material that I've seen. Do you have a link to support this? Just curious is all.
I had a similar issue on my wife's '09 MBP. Initially I thought it was the battery seeing as it's an older machine, but we tried resetting the SMC (after a bunch of other suggestions) and that seems to have done the trick.

My Macbook Pro doesnt seem to connect to my Belkin wireless router. It is connected but the internet would not work. any suggestions?

hey guys. I am having trouble with my internet. My MacBook Pro seems to be connected with Belkin wireless router, but the internet would not work. We recently changed the router so its pretty new, and it used to work on my HP laptop. Although there were some problems, it still worked. But now, the internet works and stops suddenly, and then works again.
I would love to hear some suggestions to get rid of this.
Thanks
Kiran

If you have not already done so, read the troubleshooting section in Belkin's user manual, contact their customer tech support by phone or go to its website. Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue. Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses. This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried. Thank you.
