Unable to connect wirelessly to the Internet

I have a Linksys WAG200G connected via ethernet cable to an Apple Base Station.
I can connect wirelessly to the Base Station (as it appears in the Airport Menu Bar) but I'm unable to connect to the Internet.
I can, however, connect to the Internet via my iPhone so it must be something to with the MBP.
I've run disk permissions but still nothing. I've also attempted to connect wirelessly direct to the Linksys Router and that also works okay.

Why do you need the Apple Base Station? The WAG200G is a modem/router. Just connect to it and you should be able to connect to the internet. Connecting to 2 routers has them fighting for giving out IP addresses. Yes you can connect to both but you must disable one of them in their function to provide IP addresses.

  • Can't connect wirelessly to the Internet

    Hi all,
    hope someone can help me with this.
    I'm running OSX 10.3.9, have an ADSL Nation X-Modem and AirPort Express.
    My wireless network is up and running, I have strong signal and AirTunes can connect and play fine wirelessly.
    However, when I try to open Safari and connect to the Internet, it doesn't connect ("Can't find Server.")
    When I plug the X-Modem direct into the Mac with the Ethernet cable, I can connect to the internet fine, so the modem and cable don't seem to be the problem. I've tried running throgh the AirPort Express SetUp Assistant and restarted AirPort and rebooted everything many times. In Network Preferences, it says it's happily connected, has IP address etc, but I still can't connect wirelessly to the Internet?
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    OK, here it is again
    First you plug the Ethernet cable from your Internet modem into the AE. Then plug it in. The light will go amber. Run the Airport Setup Assistant. Create a new wireless network. Call it what you want. Enter the information about your modem, in the fields just like you do for your Ethernet connection on your PC or Mac. This means DHCP or static IP and subnet..... most if you use DHCP will be filled in for you. Now that you have saved the info and the AE has restarted, look for the network that you named in the available networks. If you have set it up to dish out IP addresses, it will give you one. If you have started out with WEP or WPA the connection process is much more difficult at first.
    I leave it wide open until I can connect to it and then I create MAC access lists. I'll leave all the security stuff to you after you get it working basically.
    Run Airport Admin Utility. It will scan the area for AEs and AEBSs and you can select yours from the list. Click on configure. Here is where you set all the details up on how you want it to work. Here you can configure the details, place your securities etc. Notice that you are accessing it wireless and then you can go through the various Tabs to configure how you want it to operate.
    There is an Internet tab. This will show you how it is configured. It should look the same as your NIC parameters did when you hooked straight to the modem. There are also many more tabs that allow you to configure each area, like do you want it to be the gateway of your network, dish out IP addresses etc. My advice is to let it do that if more than one machine will connect and you don't require defined addresses to get to say a server.
    The two important areas are the Internet and the LAN area. These tell it how to interact with your modem, and the machines trying to connect to it. If the AE doesn't see the modem or can't interact with it, one of the parameters is wrong. Same goes for the LAN side of things.

  • I can't seem to connect wireless to the internet | WLAN module malfunctioning | Network Drivers

    I am getting an error within my Chrome browser that says, "this webpage is not available". This error only occurs when I try to use the wifi mode. Everything is fine when I plug in the RJ45 cable/ethernet cable directly to my notebook.
    The wifi button/F12 seems to operate properly. The orange and white led turn on and off to indicate it's state. 
    I should mention that I recently removed the WLAN module and then replaced it after a 90 minute removal and replacement of my HD with that of a new Seagate 1TB SSHD (solid state hybrid drive). 
    The notebook operates a lot faster now, expecially my adobe softwares like Premiere CC and Photoshop CC. However I can't do anything wirelessly with the internet now!  
    Need help ASAP >_<
    Attached below are screenshots of the device manage error notification and an error message from Chrome.

    Hi there @Bcfilms,
    I understand that you have been having some trouble with your wireless connection, since replacing the hard drive with an SSD drive.
    Did you update your WiFI driver from the support page for your notebook? HP ENVY m4-1115dx Notebook PC
    When you try using a wifi connection, can you see available wireless networks?
    If so, will it connect without an error?
    Have you tried a different browser if your are able to connect to wireless networks?

    2. Expand the Network adapters.
    3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.
    4. Click the Power Management tab.
    5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Test.
    Forget the network: (Windows 8)
    1. Press Windows Key + C
    2. Click Settings.
    3. Click Change PC settings.
    4. Click Network on the left.
    5. Click Manage known networks.
    6. Click the network name.
    7. Click Forget.
    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
    3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
    4. Restart your PC and test.
    It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
    1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
    3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
    4. Restart your PC and test.
    Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
    1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
    2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
    3. Expand Network adapters.
    4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.
    5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
    6. Restart your PC and test.
    Test another connection:
    Many people rule out their home network as an issue if another device is working on the same network. Networking is not that simple. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to rule out settings in that device until the notebook has been tested on another network.

  • Problem connecting wirelessly to the internet WRT54G

    I'm having strange issues with my wrt54g router - as long as my computers are plugged into it through ethernet, I have no problem accessing the internet. However, I can't access the internet if I connect to the router using wireless (my computers can connect to the router itself wirelessly, just can't access the internet from it). I've had this router for a little under a year and it used to work fine. Then I stopped using it for a few months, forgot my password and had to hit the reset button when I wanted to set it back up again yesterday. I've tried connecting multiple computers to it wirelessly, including the old one that used to work with it, but none of them can access the internet.
    I'm really not sure what could be wrong. Do I need to reinstall the router software that came with the router itself (though I'm not sure how this can help..)? Or is there some button/setting on the router that allows it to access the internet that I could have missed? I checked and wireless is enabled under wireless settings.
    I'm running Vista on one computer and XP on another.

    Connect the XP computer to the router at Ethernet Port ....
    Reset the router for 20-30 seconds ....
    Run the Disc for the setup wizard
    Let me know if any other problem occurs...

  • Is Internet Explorer incompatible with Airport Extreme for connecting wirelessly to the Internet?

    Diane,
    I have added very few apps to my G5. The majority of my time is spent editing photos with PhotoshopCS3. I have software updates set to run weekly and have always kept them up to date. I really believe it's a disk permissions issue...but repairing them doesn't help.
    *+Upon installation, I used Archive and Install.+* While I agree that Erase and Install may sound like a good idea, it makes me nervous. I do have everything backed up on a bootable CMS drive, but I'm a photographer and was hoping to not have to erase the G5.
    Yes, as I mentioned in the original post, I've downloaded and installed the Airport firmware update. And all software is up to date.
    All was working just dandy before the upgrade. Unfortunately now it's sounding like I may have to erase my hard drive and install fresh.
    If I do that, is it just a matter then of dragging my photos from the backup disk to the G5? And documents? Etc?? The thought of getting all my photos and important information back on the G5 seems a bit staggering.

  • Every time mac I stop using my mac unable to connect again to the internet - have to reboot every time

    every time I stop using mac and close the lid, when I open it again it will not connect to the Internet... only can get it to work again by rebooting... help!!!

    I am having this problem also.
    It does not happen if I duplicate, edit, and save. Of course, I don't want to have to duplicate and edit every file. As original poster said, the file is not locked, the get info box says that I do indeed have permission to edit, and the Time Machine lock preference is turned off.
    How can this be fixed?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I frequently get the messages "windows couldn't sign you out" (I am signed out) ,"not connected to in the internet" with prompts to sign in again (I don't) and "you're currently working offline", with a prompt to connect to my own locked wireless. None of these statements are true and I ignore the prompts (although my husband did re-sign on to our router once). I find that if I unplug the phone line and then plug it in again, it works. Strange. Is someone trying to get my password?

  • Linksys E4200 - has to reboot to connect again with the internet

    I bought the E4200 a month ago (replaced D-link DIR-655) and since then I have to reboot it twice.
    I have a NAS connected to the router (and router to cable modem) and sometimes I have to FTP files from abroad. If I use the FTP too much time the E4200 just loose connectivity with the internet. Once home I have to reboot it in order to connect again with the internet. It never happen me before with the D-Link.
    Does anybody has a similar problem?
    Thanks!

    Actually mine is working great now, almost as if it had a break-in period.
    Mine has not flashed once in the past day (or more) and the last time I rebooted it was Wednesdsay evening (only to see if I could stop the flashing which was still happening
    at that time).
    I was also online on an interactive (gaming / gambling) site that is very quick to report what it considers "disconnects" if it sees any weakness in the connection to its servers and when using the E4200 it did NOT disconnect a single time all day yesterday.
    (My Belkin N1 Vision wireless router connection via my Rosewill RNX-N1 USB adapter had been "disconnecting" multiple several days in a row although I was able to surf the web without issues while it reported me as disconnected).
    Possible reasons everything is fine:
    1) I placed the router's four ridiculously tiny feet on four thick wooden drink coasters
    to give it more breathing room.
    The flashing stopped a day or two later... (Keep in mind the router is less than a week old, so the reason it stopped flashing could be unrelated).
    My wireless signal strength does seem to be sensitive to a 5.8 GHz cordless phone strangely even though it is a 2.4 GHz wireless adapter.
    Just turning the phone (which has an INternal anntenna and is about 3 1/2 feet away from my wireless adapter at the moment) 15 or 20 degrees immediately changed the wireless signal quality from 4 bars to 3 bars and vice versa!!! 
    2) As far as my needing to reboot it that one time (during the first full day I owned the E4200):
    I had been switching between two different model Rosewill wireless adapters a few times that afternoon (same chipset, same driver I believe and even show up as
    same device in 32 bit Windows 7 Device Manager) without restarting the router after each switch
    Since that one reboot, everything has been fine and my connection has been solid (pingtest.net tests over wireless produce an 'A' and speed has been for the most part relatively stable at 130 Mbps).
    I hope thay helps others here (especially Part 1 above).
    So overall I am extremely happy now.
    I now just need to see what the implications are by the current lack of official IPv6 support in the E4200 (will post separately about that).
    I noticed that my "IPv6 connectivity" on the wireless connection showed "no internet".
    I just ran some IPv6 tests online (on two separate sites) and they passed and, lo and behold, now it shows "internet access" (again) for IPv6 (and not just IPv4 as it did before)!

  • Unable to connect wirelessly on an Acer laptop using Vista

    I have an iMac G4 and need to connect it to the internet. Do I need to buy an airport card or can I just use a normal USB wifi stick?

    Will this need to be a special mac compatible one or will they all be fine?
    You need to see "works on Mac" on the box. All such deveices require a driver. The adaptor would work in many cases except for the lack of Mac drivers. Some companies have the proper Mac drivers on their web sites, some shuffle you off to suspect third-party sites, and some have no Mac drivers at all. If you want to buy one adaptor, not have to return it or send hours searcing the web for a driver that works, look at this one:

  • Unable to connect wirelessly to BTHome Hub

    I have a ibook G4 running OSX 10.3.9 fitted out with Airport and have recently taken delivery of a BTHomehub, Both my Mac and laptop PC (also fitted out with wireless capability) are unable to connect wirelessly to this Hub despite being able to connect to the NET using an ethernet cable. It appears that there is no wireless signal being transmitted from the Hub, or at least a signal the both computers can recognise. We have contacted the support teams who have been unable to resolve the issue, and have replaced the Hub, guess what same problem.
    Has anyone had similar experiences and if so how was it resolved? There doesn't appear to be any real info on the web about this.
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Duane, The BtHomeHub is a UK device, both the Mac and the PC were purchased and are used in the UK. The hub is configured to detect settings automatically although i have tried all the different channels manually, no joy.
    Anyone got any experience of this device or ways to resolve the problem?

  • Unable to connect wirelessly to home network.

    Unable to connect wirelessly to my home network from my MacBook Pro. My Powerbook G4 is connected wirelessly, no problem. However, the MacBook Pro keeps failing. I have tried rebooting both the modem/router and the MBP without success. I have also tried entering in the WEP code several times without success. Need help troubleshooting this. Thank you.

    Not a problem. I appreciate whatever assistance you can spare.
    I popped an Ethernet cable into the MBP and am downloading the 10.7.5 update. Says it's going to take about an hour. Going to see if that fixes the problem. Seems many Lion users have complained about wireless problems, so it appears I'm not alone.
    As far as the other utilities you describe, I can't find anything that fits that description. I have something called AirPort Utility, but when I launch it, the window contains no columns, just a gray window with a globe and a prompt telling me that no AirPort base Stations have been found and that it's searching for one. I see nothing in my Applications or Utilities called Connection Doctor.
    Here's hoping the 10.7.5 update remedies the problem. If not, I fear I might have to keep my MBP "tethered" via an Ethernet cable until I can find a fix for this.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Connecting wirelessly using the USB Port

    I recently saw a small device at Best Buy that allows my computer to connect remotely to the internet (via cable modem) using the USB port that costs only $60. Do you know of this and can you comment?

    Are you trying to do this because your Ethernet port is broken? Is it a wireless device? Can you link to a product description?
