Unable to find Express - but internet is working

Hi.
My Airport Express seems to have issues. First off, every now and then the internet slows down (I get 400kbps uploads on speedtest instead of the usual 4000kbps. I can always solve this by using the airport utility to change channels. Don't ask me how this works, but it does. And it doesn't seem to matter what channel, so long as I change it.
However, recently, the internet has been slowing down, but now I go to airport utility and it says "Airport Utility was unable to find any Apple wireless devices". Now I am connected to my wireless network, it's just working slow. So why can't the utility see my wireless device? Plus why is the wireless slowing down in any case, and why does it speed back up when I change channels - even if I change to channel that might have been super slow a few days ago? I am starting to wish I had bought a different wireless brand at this point.
Cheers.

Airport utility cannot find Extreme nor Express, but internet is working?

I have an airport extreme base station and and airport express (as a wireless extender and media speakers)
When my iMac wakes up from sleep, airport utility cannot find any devices.
- internet works as usual
- airplay doesn't work (via my ipod or my iphone)
- apple TV 2 can't find the itunes library.
- in system preferences -> network - my network seems to be all ok and when I turn off airport and on again, both devices suddenly appear in the airport utility. But when the iMac goes to sleep, same problem happens.
- I have made ensured that my network is the preferred network but still the problem persists.
as the internet is working, there doesn't appear to be a problem. However, when airplay and apple TV are not working properly, this is a problem!
Grateful for any help. Thanks.

My Airport utility cannot find my base station either, and I can't print. But I can access the Internet!
The base station just "vanished" one day after working perfectly for about two months. I first discovered this when I was unable to print - I began troubleshooting by entering the utility, only to discover the base station was not listed.
I finally deleted my networking settings in Vista, and then did a factory reset on the Aiport Extreme. I then set everything up from scratch again to successful resolution.
Then again one day a short time after that, it vanished again! In frustration, I disconnected Airport and put it away. I tried setting up a new Dlink I purchased to replace the Airport, but the Dlink didn't work either!!! Dlink tech support couldn't fix the problem and suggested I get my money back. I then, as a last ditch attempt, reconnected the Airport. It automatically found the base station without me doing anything besides just hooking it back up!
It worked for about two weeks and now it vanished again! The utility upgrade released the other day has not fixed this problem. I guess I'll delete networking connections again in Vista, and do a factory reset to Airport again.
I guess Airport and Vista just don't play well together.

You're welcome.
Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

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.

Hey shivamr25,
Thanks for the reply.
After checking your PIN number, it shows you do not have a BlackBerry® data plan with your network service provider. This is required to use Google® Talk. Contact your network service provider to add a plan.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Can't connect to any website through Firefox (Connecting...), but Internet Explorer works.

I have had on and off problems with Firefox working, but up until now, restarting the computer solved the problem. Now it won't load any website for anything...it keeps circulating with "Connecting...". Internet Explorer works just fine and the internet is working with all other devices, the only thing I can find that may be impacting is that the internet has no IPv6 access (I have no clue though and the box is checked). I have tried all of the advice I have found on other similar posts such as disabling the IPv6 and the Prefetch through 'about:config', I restarted the computer multiple times, unplugged the router, checked the firewall and removed and re-added Firefox, cleared the cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox, uninstalled Chrome.
Nothing seems to be getting me any closer to having Firefox up and connecting again.
As a side note, I only have been having those on and off problems, and this current problem, while connected to my home internet--other connections have had no problems. Also, I am using Norton Antivirus which is up to date and showing no problems at present.
Any ideas on how to fix?

Have you flushed the dns cache on the computer recently? It could be that it has stored the unsuccessful message.

Can't connect to some websites but internet is working

My internet is working but I can't connect to some websites ( various university) when I disconnect the time capsule and connect directly from the modem then it works. Internet provider said it was a problem with my time capsule...
I restored to factory settings and unplugged/ plugged 100 times. Even created new network.
Don't know what else to do...
Anyone out there with a similar experience??
Thanks!

AirPort Utility doesn't find my AirPort Express but wireless still works

I'm having problems configuring my AirPort Express. My main computer is a desktop running Windows XP and is connected to the internet via a Netgear router. I have the AirPort wired to the same router. I used the AirPort Utility to set up the AirPort originally but now the utility program can't find the AirPort. The wireless is still working as my macbook can still connect to the internet and the green light on the AirPort remains on. The macbook can also use the AirTunes function of iTunes while the desktop cannot. I've updated AirPort Utility to the most recent version without any luck. I assume its more to do with the router but I'm far from a network expert. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm having this exact same problem. I am using an HP notebook computer running Windows XP. My computer can connect just fine via wireless to the Airport Express. However, the Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Express no matter what I try. I have downloaded all the latest versions of software. I have tried doing a soft reset of the Airport Express. I have tried doing a hard reset of the Airport Express. I have tried resetting Airport Express defaults back to factory settings. I have tried connecting to Airport Express via Ethernet cable attached to my router. I have tried configuring a fixed IP address in the same range as the default IP address settings for the Airport Express. None of this gives me the ability for the Airport Utility to see the Airport Express. Any help please.

"No Internet Access" indicator, but internet access works

We've got a few machines at a couple different clients that have the windows networking systray exclamation mark indicating limited network connectivity. The supposed error is "no internet access", though the internet works fine in every
case. It is a very visible issue generating a lot of complaints, and the clients have a tendency to associate it with all kinds of other unrelated problems.
To clarify:
Not all machines have the icon
Problem machines all have the same basic setup as non-problem machines
Some problem machines are win8, some win7
They don't share common hardware specs
I have tried several things, including: reset ip stack, give manual ip settings to network adapter, disable ipv6, disable/re-enable adapter, all without success.
I don't know where to go to troubleshoot this. Is there a log with this info? Is the network connectivity check process well documented somewhere?

The issue occurs on ethernet and wireless. I haven't been able to tell what the problem machines have in common. The issue is basically permanent. Sometimes an IP stack reset will "cure" the problem temporarily, but it returns.
Here's an ipconfig /all from one of the trouble machines:

Software Update can't find server, but internet connection is good

The Software Update function does not work - "Can't connect to Update Server", and Safari will not load any pages - "CAn't connect to server...". However, Network Diagnostics says that I am connected to the internet, as does Firefox - it loads pages just fine! All other computers in our home network, including my G5 Tower, are performing and access the internet just fine.
Also, for the past 24 hours, whenever I try to reply to an e-mail, or create a new one, mail suddenly crashed. It is very reliable in this way; there are no exceptions! The the newest update/change to my configuration was the update of the 10.4.4 system stuff from Apple, followed a few days later by an update for the 15 in G4 Powerbook battery management.
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have had this problem ever since upgrading from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger back in December. It doesn't matter, 10.4 from the DVD, or 10.4.4 upgrade, the problem is the same: Any Apple-based programs don't recognize the connection.
1) Safari says can't connect to any server.
2) Software Update says there's no internet connection.
3) iTunes won't get CD title information from CCDB because it doesn't recognize an internet connection.
4) E-mail messages that have images linked to websites just show question marks.
5) Widgets that require an internet connection (weather, etc.) are blank.
I, too, did all the tests with the Apple system and pings and all that, which all showed the internet connection to be fine.
In this condition, I can use Firefox and Netscape browsers (I'm using Firefox to write this), but not Safari, Shiira, or Internet Explorer--those three don't recognize an internet connection.
When I first upgraded to Tiger, Mail would receive messages but wouldn't send them. After going back and forth between Apple Care and Earthlink, finally it got solved by Earthlink having me change all my settings. So now I can send messages, but still can't see linked images.
Now here's an interesting quirk. I have four user logins on my computer. On one of them, Safari's home page has always been our login for our online banking. For some reason, that always connects. I have figured out over the past weeks that if I go to that login first, and log in to my bank's website FIRST, then I can use the Apple programs on my other logins (iTunes, Software Update, Safari, etc.). Go figure.
I've spent hours on the phone with Apple Care with this problem. They claim they've never heard of this issue from anyone else, but I've seen several people post on this discussion board having the same issue. Apple Care still has not been able to resolve this issue, even after many hours on the phone with them.

Airport connected but internet not working!

My airport will say that it is connected to the internet and will sometimes pull up an IP address, but at my home network it will not pull up an IP address. I can connect to the internet through Safari while the airport has an IP address and it will work for about 30 seconds to a minute. If I shut off the airport then turn it back on, it works again shortly. At home, I have deleted the keychain for the home network and taken the network off of my preferred networks. I then re-added it and entered in the information/passwords. There is still no IP address despite renewing the DHCP lease. HELP! This seems like 2 issues that are both affected by my airport functionality.

After looking at other forums, it seems that other people have this same problem with the message of a "self assigned IP address" but not able to connect.
I have tried the steps of removing the keychain and network and re-adding and still no internet.
