Time Capsule has green light, connects with wifi, but no internet

After a recent cable outage in my area, I no longer have internet through Time Capsule.
The cable company's "maintenance" has been corrected/restored.
My cable modem works fine and connects directly to my MacBook via ethernet just fine, as well.
When I connect the cable modem to the TC (via ethernet), the green light eventually comes on and my MacBook can access the TC via wifi just fine, but I cannot access the internet.
Thanks, in advance!

Please try the following to get the TC and modem communicating again:
o Power-down the modem, TC, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).
Computers connected to the TC, either by wire or wireless, should now have Internet access. Please post back your results.

I need to reset my time capsule/airport every day - time capsule has green light but I don't see any wifi signal on my mac and other computers.

as many of you do, I use time capsule as airport, too...
It worked fine for 6 months or so after I bought the new time capsule. (I bought it in September 2012.)
Since the beginning of this year, I had to reset, and power off and plug it in almost every week, then now I need to reset and power off and back on again every day...
When I first set up the time capsule, I followed the instruction with the manual.
But, now I am so lost and don't want to reset every day for wifi connection.
Anyone has problem like me or knows how to solve this issue?
Please help..
I have MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.4 & my roommates have PCs. (just in case if it helps...)

For PC it is important the wireless has names that are compatible.. short.. like 10 characters.. but 2-20 is fine. no spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 personal only.. with pure alphanumeric password .. again 10-20 characters should be fine.
The latest firmware is a dud. Go back to 7.6.1
Open the airport utility.. click on the TC and holding the option key click the actual version number..
Go back to 7.6.1 is simple.. just select it and away it will go.. ignore future requests for upgrade.. you can also tell the utility not to check weekly for updates. You will need 5.6 utility for this I think..
So do the firmware downgrade.
Then do a factory reset and follow the name information above.. for TC name as well btw.. wireless name/s and disk share name.. which by default is data and that is fine.
So some instructions in...
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
You can also load airport utility into a pc and get access to all the settings. Untick the box for firmware updates.. it will still bug you occasionally.. regardless of the setting.. just ignore it..
You might still need to do the occasional reboot of the TC as well.

Time Capsule has green light, but unable to access the internet

My Time Capsule has a green light, but all devices (wired and wireless) are not allowed out to the internet.
When I connect my iMac directly to my internet router, I am able to access the internet, so I have isolated the issue to the Time Capsule.
The Time Capsule receives an IP address from my internet router via DHCP and I can see this address in the Time Capsule config, but for some reason the Time Capsule is not allowing internet access to both wired and wireless clients.
Thank you.

Verify that you have a working Ethernet cable.
Then verify that the Ethernet cable is connected from one of the LAN <-> ports on your main router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
Check again to make sure that the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode
Power cycle the entire network as follows:
Power off all devices in any order you want
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem or modem/router first and let it run a full minute by itself
Start the main router next the same way
Start the Time Capsule the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time until everything is powered back up
Check the network

Time Capsule has green light, but I can not connect to the internet. Help please

Just got a new Time Capsule. After a few tries, I finally got the green light. But I now can not conect to the internet. Help please.

Problem Solved.....call ATT and they gave me the information I needed....account is a PPPoE. Use your ATT email address as the username, and then ATT provided the network password. Enter the information, update, restart. Now, internet access is achieved.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day). The green light will go amber but the internet service (ethernet cable) will still be fine. The wireless icon on devices with go away.

I have a Airport Extreme that is dropping the wireless signal alot (several times a day) The green light will go amber, but the internet service is still ok if your using an ethernet cable directly plugged in. When the light goes amber all devices that is using wireless will lose there wireless icon. The only way to get the green light back is to unplug the Airport device and replug it back in. I tried the reset on the back but still no luck. What is the fix?

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

Go to settings, then wifi. There, you can choose a wifi router and if needed, enter the password. You haven't provided any details in your post. Are you trying to connect to a home network? A commercial network?

Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!

If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it. Hence your device cannot be located. I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop. These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.

Connects to wifi but no internet

Hi! This problem just recently started for seemingly no apparent reason. My MacBook Pro will connect to my wifi network, but then it won't connect to the internet. The wifi symbol will have an exclamation point in it and my router symbol turns from blue to blinking yellow (Belkin router). I'll try turning off wifi and turning it back on again and it searches but then goes back to the exclamation point. I'll do this 6 or 7 times and then sometimes it'll start working again. When the problem happens there is a green light next to wifi and then red lights next to everything else. So it's connecting to the network and then experiencing a problem. I've tried restarting both the modem and router which yield promising results as first but after a couple hours the problem returns.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Emily, the exact same thing happened to me on the same date. Also a MacBookPro (2009), can connect to my wireless network at home but no internet, although the router seems to be fine (because my older laptop connects to it) AND my airport must be ok because I'm on the wireless network at work right now with no problem. Could it be a virus we've both got? My wife was using my laptop for Facebook when it suddenly stopped working, and she certainly didn't change any router settings or network preferences. Perhaps a malicious link on Facebook? --Lloyd
edit: actually there's one difference in our situations: in my case the MBP does show an IP address when I can get onto the wifi network but not the internet. And I'm still on 10.5.8.

My iPod 5th gen connects to wifi but the internet doesn't work.

So we were watching netflix on the ps4 and something happened and now my ipod will connect to the wifi but the internet doesn't work. everything else connects just fine to the internet just not my ipod. I've renew my lease, reset my settings and network, forgot my network and rejoined, turn my ipod completely off and back on, turned my wifi off then back open. The IP address is 192.xxx.x.xx
its the ipod 5th generation 16gb. With the latest update

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Just moved and Time Capsule shows green light but does not connect to internet?

Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my wifi network unsuccessfully. I know the Internet is working as I can get online if I plug the computer directly into the modem via Ethernet cable. I've tried disconnecting and powering down everything, reconnecting modem and Time Capsule, then turning on modem, Time Capsule, then computer, with several minutes in between. Now I have a green light on the Time Capsule but in AirPort Utility it shows and amber light for Internet and says the connection is "Disconnected".
All my software is up to date. What do you think???

Modem.. what modem.. what kind of internet??
Open the utility and check the TC wan address??
If it is cable modem it can take 15min or more for the IP to reset.
Is the cable modem also a router??

My iPad says I am connected to wifi, but the internet won't work. I have tried turning wifi on/off and also resetting the network settings. Help!

The past two days my iPad mini has not been working with the wifi at my house. There is also and iPhone 5 and an iPad air that are working perfectly fine. I don't know what to do

Try forgetting the network, reboot your iPad and then try joining the network again.
Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap Join.
If that doesn't work, reset network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Reboot the iPad again. Go back to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Enter your password>Tap join.

Can connect to wifi, but no internet connection

So, this is my first MacBook. I just bought it yesterday, so I believe I have the latest OS (OS X? Maybe? I'm computer literate with PCs, but really a n00b here, and cannot even find where it would say what OS I'm using). I have tried connecting to wifi networks using Airport at a few wifi hot spots and have about a 50/50 record. They always connect just fine to the network, but half the time I get a "No internet connection" error.
When I try my iPhone 4 or my laoptop (running Windows 7), I have no problems. This led me to believe that the problem is with my new MacBook. But when I went to the apple store, the "genius"/sycophantic fanboy told me that the problem was really with the various coffeeshop wifi routers, not my MacBook. Essentially, he said that my OS is too advanced for the routers to handle and so they need to upgrade. This strikes me as patently ridiculous, and if he is right, it sounds more like Apple decided not to make their latest OS backwards compatible with (not even that much) older technology. And, ergo, its really Apple's problem that I am now burdened with.
So, is this an actual, common problem? Did Apple really decide to make its latest OS incompatible with routers that are merely 2 or 3 years old? Or is there some kind of fix I can do from my end (I don't intend on asking all the coffeeshops in my town to upgrade).
Thanks.

I am precluded, as a general rule, from knowing anything about the router in this (very common) situation. This happens at about half of the wifi hot spots I go to, and the idea of having to ask a barista about their router's firmware is clearly ludicrious.
That said, I don't believe (95% sure) that I get a valid IP address when this problem happens. (I have one now, obviously). And I have no clue about the router's firmware.
Thanks
