Trouble accessing the internet in a WDS

I am having trouble connecting to the internet from my MBP connected to an Airport Extreme base station in a WDS. My setup is as follows:
I have a Billion ADSL 2+ modem connected to an Airport Express in one room. In another room I have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to an external hard disk and USB printer (via a USB hub). I have the Airport Express setup to connect to the Internet via Ethernet (i.e. the modem) and to act as a bridge (so that my PPPoE connection is handled by the modem. I have the Airport Extreme setup to extend a wireless network.
My laptop happily connects (wirelessly) to the wireless network, and whether it's connected directly to the wireless network via the Extreme or the Express (I check which it is connected to by checking the wireless clients list via Airport Utility) it can see the printer and external HDD connected to the Extreme and the modem connected to the Express (i.e. I can mount the external HDD, print to the printer, and connect to the modem's internal setup web server whether connected directly to the Extreme or to the Express). If my laptop is connected directly to the Express I can access the internet (via the modem), but if my laptop is connected to the Extreme I can't access the internet (even though I can access the internal web server on the modem).
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Another symptom of the problem is that while Airport Utility can 'see' both the Express and Extreme when my laptop is connected to the wireless network, when I click on 'Manual Setup' for one of the Airports it can only access the setup of the Airport to which the laptop is connected (so if I'm in the same room as the Express and am connected to the Express I can get the setup for the Express but not the Extreme, and vice versa).

Hi,
I've got pretty much the same setup here and works fine.
In Airport Utility, go to the Airport you're connected to and check the Airport>Access tab.
In there I've got all the MAC addresses of the machines that can connect to it, that also includes the MAC address of the Airports. So the Airport Extreme has the Airport Express' MAC address, and the Express has the Extreme's address in the Access Control List.
Maybe that solves it?

A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline

When I select “Update existing software in QuickTime Pro I get an error message saying “A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline”
This has persisted for several weeks. Any help will be welcomed as I do not know how to contact QuickTime support via Apple.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Many thanks

I was able to download and install the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25) without a hitch. After the reboot I tried again to update my exisitng Quicktime Pro software as described in my original posting and got exactly the same error message.
If it happens that there is no software to download because I am already running the latest version, surely a message to that effect would appear and not the one saying “A connection to the QuickTime server could not be established. This computer may be having trouble accessing the Internet or the server may be offline”
Still seeking advice if possible
Cheers

Trouble accessing the internet on a WRT54G wireless router

I’ve run into a problem setting up a wireless network at my friends’ house. The problem is accessing the internet from the wireless PC that has a WMP11 Wireless PCI Card to a WRT54G wireless router.
The wireless PC is running Windows XP and it sees and connects to the router with “excellent” signal strength but will not connect to the internet.
The router is currently set to WEP 128 bit encryption security. I’ve tried disabling the wireless security all together but when I do that the wireless PC no longer sees the router.
I have no trouble connection to the internet thru the wireless network I have set up at my house when I bring his computer there. But my router is an older Linksys 802.11b so maybe that’s why.
Anyone have any ideas what I should try other than telling him to buy a new wireless G adapter card?

If earlier your Wireless Adapter is working fine with the same network & computer .... try upgrading the drivers of the aqdapter .... from http://linksys.com/download .... uninstall the older drivers & reinstall newer drivers ....

Trouble accessing the internet through Wi-Fi.

Essentially, my house has a wireless network that works just fine for the computer that uses it. I went into settings and connected to the wireless network in question and tried to use Safari on my iPod, but continuously get the message "Safari can't open the page because it could not connect to the server.". I checked my router and it does in fact see the iPod, but my iPod simply can't get on the internet.
I've tried turning the Wi-fi off for a while then back on, and when I do the wireless network is seen, but without the little lock symbol beside it in settings, then when I try to use Safari again the lock symbol comes back (I don't know if this is significant).
We've got WEP security on the network and the password -was- entered. For all intents and purposes the iPod should be able to access the internet. It's been assigned an IP address and, again, the router sees it.
I'm pretty much stumped, and since this iPod was a random draw gift at my graduation I don't have the receipt, and am currently unable to talk to Customer Service.
Any ideas?

I am having that same problem. Used to connect up with my home's wireles network (Linksys wireless cable router, Toshiba cable modem). The lapotops are working wiressles, but the Touch doesn't seem to be able to connect either to my wireless network or to a neighbor''s unsecured network that I used to be able to log onto.
I did travel and used the Touch to connect to other wireless networks. Since returning, nothing. I have reset all settings, reset network settings, restored to factory settings... nothing seems to help, still hangs up on the "Choose a network". I was hoping that restoring to the factory settings would work... it even prompted me for the WEP key, but still just hung there.
Thoughts? Do I need to go to the Apple STore?

TS1398 Having trouble accessing the internet over wifi on my iPhone 5.

Hello, I have a nearly brand new iPhone 5 in perfect condition. So far, I have had not problems with it, however recently, I have had major issues connecting to the internet over wifi. Some things that would happen would be apps that require an internet connection time out, and pages don't load in safari, and the reliabilty would be off and on.However after switching the wifi off and going off of my 4g, the connection was fast and I experianced no problems. I am positive this is not a problem with my home network, because my household had lots of people and LOTS of electronic devices that connect to the internet with no problem. I also have an ipod touch 4th generation that has been able to connect and browse the internet with no problem, it's just the iPhone that is being slow. Also, this isn't really a consistant pattern, occasionaly I will get it to work for like five minutes with no problems then it just time out on whatever it's doing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well it might still be the Mavericks Wifi issue... slow throughput on an apparently strong signal is part of its behavior from what I've read. So to recap You got a signal (fairly Strong) appeared to be connected but Safari could not display the welcome page.
I'll share something I do in a case like that. I use Firefox. I keep a copy of Firefox, Opera and Chrome on my laptop because some sites use non-standard web code and the different browsers "play" better with the server/router. Safari is a lot better than it was when it first stared out but there are some sites put together (especially financial sites) that just won't let Safari play (they can code to prevent that).
If you have time between flights download Firefox and give it a shot... at this you have nothing to lose.
Good Luck.

Why does firefox sometimes just stop talking to the internet and just set there with the connection icon spinning and spinning and not going anywhere, when Thunderbird can still get email and any other program is not having trouble accessing the internet

sometimes fire fox will start talking again, most of the time it take a reboot to fix it, as it may set there spinning, for hours, and i do not have time to fool with it, and a reboot is a pain

Hi,
Do you have this problem with the ethernet and wireless connection ?
Did you installed any windows updated on your Windows 8.1 ?

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

I don't have a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet ... just a mobile WiFi (there is no cable available at our house). How do I connect my Time Capsule to the Internet via the mobile WiFi?

LOL!!
I am in Australia and the ISP... I think both the main ones would fit your description to a T.. big T in particular.
Your router is really unsuitable.. if it is only wireless and no ethernet.. just buy an ethernet one.
Do a search on ebay.. 3g router.
But you can get the TC to join a wireless network.
It is a non-standard setup that Apple will not support.. the option is hidden.
If you are on Lion download the 5.6 utility. Go to the wireless set up page and hold down the option key whilst selecting wireless mode.. a new option, join will appear. You can then put in the ssid and passkey of the 3g router.
But please note the end result of this setup..
very slow speed. The TC is now a second wireless hop from your clients.. this will halve the speed.
In this mode the ethernet are deactived.. for reasons only Apple know, they decided you should not use ethernet when doing this.

Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
Thank You,
Dennis

I cannot access the internet, I tried to answer that said to go to settings, safari, tap clear history, cookies and cache, cut off, then on, but it did not work. When I go to internet the screen is grey??? please help I am a new user!!

I cannot access the internet the screen is grey, I have tried by using the answer from someone but it does not work...I went to settings, tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache, then turn off ipad. When I did that twice, it did not work. How long does it take for the clear history to work? I am a brand new
user of the ipad2 and I am disappointed that this is happening already.

Have you been able to access the internet previously and now it's suddenly not working, or are you still trying to access the internet for the first time on your iPad? Are you at home trying to connect through your home router? If you are at home, did you put your home routers encryption code as your password? The encryption code is what your iPad is looking for and it is usually found on the router and is typically a 13 digit combination of letters and numbers. Let us know......

I did a software update on my ipad and now cannot access the internet. how can i fix this?

I did a software update on my ipad to 8.1 and now cannot access the internet. How do I fix this? My mail updates, but to get internet access I had to move from wifi to cellular data, and now even cellular data does not allow me access.

Hi Go to settings Reset Network Settings After Reset you need to enter your Router wireless key Before you do this turn off your Router for 30 seconds Also an option is to go on Websites for your make of Router look for any Firmware updates but you can do this later. Cheers Brian

When I open a second Profile while another is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. Why?

I often have occasions to run more than one Profile simultaneously (usually because of different add-ons I've installed on different Profiles). In the past this worked fine. Now, all of a sudden, if I open a second Profile while the first is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. It keeps looking for a website, and failing, until the system "times out". If I close the first Profile, the second is then able to access the Internet.
Note: this is not a problem with opening a second Window in Firefox. As long as they are from the same Profile they will both work fine. Nor does this stop me from using a second Profile to look at website files I have saved to my computer. The only problem is that the second Profile cannot get on the Internet.

I just checked, the setting was for "Automatic proxy configuration URL", in the past it was set on "No Proxy". So I'll try changing that (and/or try other proxy options), and see if that solves the problem.
If it does, then just one (academic) question remains: why did that happen in the first place? I don't care what the answer is, so long as your suggestion solves the problem.
Thanks.

I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

Dear Mozilla,
I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy Brown
