Verizon Fios and internet connection issue for ONLY some of my devices

Lost my internet connection last night for about half of my devices (iMac, iPad, Kindle) but the funny thing is that the other devices are able to connect to the internet at the same time. 
The Verizon Fios router is MI424WR with dual antennae.  I have a Time Capsule hooked up via ethernet to the Verizon router and am using the TC as a wireless access point. 
As I am not computer knowledgable, could this happen if there was a firmware update on the Fios router?  Could the Fios router allow only certain devices access while denying access to other devices to the internet?  It seems that if only one device can access the internet, the system does work but there is a "gatekeeper" that is not allowing access.

No, you use the airport utility not Network Preferences which is your local computer setup.
Setup of the TC you need to select it in the airport utility.. on either a Mac or in a phone or ipad.
When you open it click on the TC and go to the edit tab and check all the details. eg the bridge is here.
Go to the wireless tab to setup wireless.
I recommend a change of wireless name if you do not use names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. do so.
See how you go without a factory reset but if that doesn't work then a reset is in order.

  • Windows 7 and internet connection issue

    I am having a problem connecting to internet on Windows 7 OS. I have a Macbook that installed Windows 7 on Bootcamp. When I connect the DSL wire to my computer in dormitory it connects automatically. But when I go to somewhere else it doesn't connect. I also tried to connect using IP address which consists of 4-5 rows of numbers. Unfortunately, I cannot find the tab where I can enter these IP address numbers. So I was wondering if there is something wrong with my Network Driver (or may be it is missing some networking drivers).
    The main reason I want to connect to the Internet in Windows system is because I need to activate Keyshot (which requires internet connection and it works only on windows platform). My teacher said if the IP system is different on the Windows installed Macintosh, then it may not activate the product. So I was wondering if my Windows networking system works differently from Windows system on normal PC. If so how to fix this connection problem. Sorry if my question is too complicated.
    But again, I am able to connect on my windows at home. But this connection is still not allowing me to activate the software. As I understood, this program requires normal internet connection of Windows. I don't know what is wrong with my computer.

    Thanks for the direction. Did you mention the Bootcamp forum within this Apple.com or are you talking about a forum that exists outside of apple.com (maybe some website solely devoted to Bootcamp or windows issues)?

  • IPad 1 internet connection issues for months--connects to modem fine

    Was hoping the 4.3 upgrade would solve my issue, but it hasn't. I've had issues with my iPad for the past few months. It connects to my wireless network and works for some time (say a day or two) and then it suddenly cannot connect to the internet. The signal strength is strong. The IP addresses look the same as when it could connect to the internet, my iphone connects just fine (as does my laptop). I've upgraded modem firmware, changed modem login, tried WPA and WPA2, renewed lease on ipad, forgot network, extended my modem lease time, etc. But, I still have issues. I can unplug my modem and then the ipad connects fine...for a while. The only thing which keeps me connected for a while is to turn off my wifi everytime I'm done with my ipad...not exactly what I want to do. Any suggestions out there? Also, I should note that my ipad did not encounter any of these issues for the first 6 months of its life. I'm guessing an OS upgrade created all this nonsense.

    turn wifi off on another device.  some routers have limits if no result do this
    reset network settings
    restart your router make sure all lights are off and then come back on
    then
    reset network settings
    settings-general-reset-reset network settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    Peace, Clyde

  • Internet connectivity issues for past 3 days

    Hi, I live in Westchester county and since past 3 days, I have no internet connectivity in the evenings. Internet works fine early morning though. Called tech support every day. On second day, the tech support helped us figure out there was an outage in the area and someone from the techical dept was fixing it..Internet started working and all was fine..
    But again yesterday, same issue. Called tech support again and this time they could tell me if it is an outage or something else is broken..
    If someone is facing the same issue, any information provided would be helpful

    Hi,
    This issue is still persisting. A Technician had come in on Friday and basically found nothing wrong..told me that the router is fine..issue might be somewhere else.
    worked fine over the weekend and again broke down last night..had to call again and that customer service representative was of no help and didnt even schedule the appointment correctly for today.
    I am strongly thinking of cancelling the service very soon.

  • My Time Capsule WiFi connection and internet connection issue

         My Time Capsule WiFi connection to other devices works fine, but for some reason it can not connect to the internet only when "it feels like it",it will go in and out showing that its connect (green dot on airport utilities) then literaly the next second it disconnected (showing a yellow dot on airport utility) and it does that continuesly sometimes it stops doing for a couple of hours. I basically did every thing like reseting it, unplugging wait for what ever time, and it still does the same thing. i do have ethernet cable connect to the Time Capsule. Also sometimes my airport utilities say it cant find my Time Capsule (rarely) . So obviously i dont have a clue whats going on. PLEASE HELP
    thanks

    You have an issue with the local network. Pings to your local network device should be in the order of 5-10ms tops..
    Look at your first line.. 2293ms that is over 2sec for the local router to respond.. but it is likely that little box that is the problem. You will get some websites simply time out if they take that long to respond.
    Let me recommend you either get some help from ATT or get a local technician to fix it. There are other better ways to connect things.. in the end getting it cabled with ethernet is the best. Buy a long long ethernet cable if you want to have a test.. so you can plug the TC into the modem. Bypass the HPNA over cable slug.

  • IMac and internet connection issue

    Dear Forum members,
    I have a number of iMac's. However on one of them when a try and connect to a certain site, I get "Safari can't connect to server" message. It also says safari can't open the page "http://www.somewebsite.com/" because Safari can't connect to the server "www.somewebsite.com".
    Please note www.somewebsite.com is just a made up name.
    When I googled around it seems to indicate a firewall is blocking this URL. So I did the following:
    Make sure OSX firewall is turned off - it always was.
    Tried to flush the cache by typing dscacheutil -flushcache but to no avail.
    Tried accessing using Firefox - same result
    Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue.
    I am running OSX Version 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2
    Thanks

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

  • 4S Verizon Network / Internet Connectivity Issues?

    I have been having problems with what appears to be Verizon Network/Internet Connectivity issues. I am located in northern Colorado, using an iPhone 4S with a Mophie Air battery backup/case.
    I am in a solid 4G area (even though the phone is 3G) and I have not had any problems with any connection issues, until last night. I still see three bars of 3G service on the phone indicator area...so it is decieving. 
    I can still recieve emails, text messages, and phone calls, but nothing that uses the internet will work.  All apps seem to try to open and try to update, but the whizzy-wheel indicator just sits and spins until I get a "Network Error" message or a time out error of some kind. Most error pop-ups are saying to check the internet settings and try again. Ugh!
    Also, since it seems to be trying to recognize the network all the time (even when all tasks are killed and nothing should be running), my battery is going down MUCH faster today! I took it off of the charger at 7am and it was down to 20% battery in only 4 hours! Then I turned on the battery backup, and it is quickly using that up too! At this rate my phone will be completely DEAD by the time I leave work today, and I haven't even used it for anything all day (except to try to connect to the web a few times - testing)!
    I have tried the following so far to try to regain internet through the Verizon network, to no avail:
    checked for software updates...phone was up to date with iOS 6.0.1
    checked my firmware version (it is 3.0.04)
    killed all background/running apps (with the home button double-click/hold icon/end)
    "reset" my phone via a couple of methods (both the regular power off option and the force-power off option).
    *228, option 2 (to reset Roaming)
    cleared all data cache areas/cookies/etc.
    Cellular data is set to "On"; Roaming is set to "On" for all options;
    I have a 64GB device (57.3 usable capacity) of which I still show 46.2 available.
    WiFi is set to "Off" (although I can use WiFi at home with no problem if I need to, but I shouldn't have to!)
    Airplane Mode is set to "Off"; Restrictions are set to "Off"; Bluetooth is set to "Off"
    Basically, there is NO REASON my phone should be having connection issues! 
    PLEASE HELP?!!

    I tried everything you did and more, i thought i had it working, but i got a voicemail today and when i went to open it earlier it just has the wheel loading forever and then says it cant onnect to voicemail. the searching does make it wear down the battery faster as well.  i can get calls, texts etc, but i cant help but think there are a few bugs with the ios 6.01 software

  • I have Verizon FIOS and I am trying to connect an Air Port Express to my Directv

    I have Verizon FIOS and I am trying to connect my Air Port Express to my DirecTV.  My iMac does not see the airport express, even though the light is a solid green and connected to my HD-DVR.  Any ideas?

    Assuming your modem is wireless use Airport Utility to configure the AEX to extend an existing network. The modem's wireless router should be configured to allow its network to be extended.

  • FIOS and Wireless Connection Disconnecting

    I now have Verizon FIOS and only on my MacBook Pro the wireless keeps disconnecting after 5 minutes of inactivity. I tried testing connectivity on a Windows laptop and on an iPad and there are no issues.  I called VZ and they said this is an Apple Macbook issue as they ran diagnostics and all the tests and configurations were all set correctly.  Does anyone else have this issue and is there any solution?
    Thanks.

    so I just got the blazing fast Fios last week and love everything about it except about 50% of the time I need to restart my laptop (which is hooked up wireless) in order to connect.  When I initially connect it shows that it is connected but cannot receive anything in a browser.  The remedy is a restart.  but I only need to do this about 50% of the time.
    Interestly,  If I am having problems and cannot connect I can still receive a skype ping (but cannot browse to any pages using FF or IE)
    I called tech support and they were very nice but did not solve.
    Anyone else with this?
    rg
    Sounds like an issue on your laptop.  Can you ping anything outbound?  It sound like the DNS on your laptop is not connecting properly, or the network arp cache is hosed.  If you're using XP or Vista you should be able to "repair" the network connection without having to restart the laptop -- this is essentially what a restart will do for you relative to network issues without having to restart.  Right click on the network icon in the right toolbar area and select Diagnose and Repair. 

  • Multiple Internet Connection Issues

    Hi there, long time reader first time poster.
    I figured I should post this as, while having read through hundreds of similar posts I still can't figure out how to solve my connectivity issues.
    I just bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 3.2Ghz i3 model and while I am happy with the machine overall, it is the second one in a month - the first had a faulty ethernet port and refused to connect to the internet out of the box. Apple replaced it without question - almost as if they knew.
    The replacement has now seemingly developed the same issue.
    Some background info. The computer was connected both through ethernet and through the TC I bought to back it up until yesterday. So I was getting both a wireless signal from the TC and one through ethernet.
    I have a hub that has 5 devices connected to it ( Printer, Cable TV, iMac and TC - now a PS3 ) That hub is served a signal by a simple NTT modem connected to a phone line. That modem is now nearly 5 years old but has always given great net speeds so I don't believe the problem to be the modem - I could be wrong though.
    I just bought a PS3 and tried connecting it yesterday but had multiple problems. Despite me entering the correct PPPoE information to the letter, the PS3 refused to connect, saying the password and username was incorrect. I could connect it via a Bluetooth signal but no hard wired connection would work.
    So I unplugged everything from the hub, shut down all the machines, turned off the modem and let it sit for 10 minutes and then plugged the ethernet cable from the PS3 straight into the modem, giving it a direct line. Switched on modem, rebooted PS3 and tried again - this time it connected through ethernet. I still don't know how or why. I can guess but I'm sure you guys know much more about this than I do.
    So then I tried connecting the iMac back to the net, reconnected all the hub, followed the same procedure. Off, sit for a bit, on etc. This time the PS3 has no connection and now the iMac has no connection either!
    The TC gave a green light though so I was able to get wireless. I tried removing all net locations from the iMac, installing new ones, renewed the DHCP lease, but no matter what I did (PPPoE info 100% correct) it just refused to establish a connection.
    The the bloody TC light flashed amber and I couldn't get wireless either despite being plugged into the hub and getting a signal! The PS3 is now working and the cable is fine so I am starting to think either I have cluster ****** the whole setup or something is wrong with the iMac.
    I go away for an hour then come back and the stupid TC has somehow picked up a connection! The light is green again?! But now the time connected display is scrolling repeatedly. I've got net but what the **** is wrong with all this?
    Bottom line - not ethernet connection for the iMac but TC seems to be working and all other devices have a connection.
    Please help me if you can! I just can't figure any of this out.

    Your description is a bit confusing, but I use English as a second language, so it may be just me.
    1. How is the hub connecting to your modem, by ethernet cable or wirelessly?
    2. Which device is negotiating the internet connection with your ISP, the modem?
    3. Does the device that negotiates the connection use PPPoE?
    4. How are the other devices being handed their internet connection? DHCP only?
    Only one device should be connecting directly to your ISP using the PPPoE protocol and configured with your account username and password. This device is preferably the modem. This device should be configured to hand out internal IP addresses to the other devices on your LAN using DHCP. All of the other devices should be configured to request an IP from that device, whether by ethernet or wi-fi, just with DHCP.

  • Video and Internet Connection

    So I bought this brand new Macbook Pro only two months ago, and already I'm experiencing issues with the video and Internet Connection. When I try to watch video, it plays for a few minutes, then completely stops, though it is buffered and loaded completely. It never starts replaying unless i refresh it, but then it happens again and again. Then for the internet connection, when im opening websites and everything, suddenly the it says "Sorry you are not connected to the internet" then after a few moments, it works, but this is very annoying. Websites also load very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

    How many lines do you have on your wifi "fan" up at the top right of your computer and how far are you from the router? sometimes things like that happen when I sit a little too far from our wifi hub. If I show a good set of bars I have good internet flow etc. if just a single bar or barely, it gets dodgy.

  • Mail and Internet Connection conflict

    I have a VPN PPTP connection running. Most of my other Mac internet apps run fine (Safari, Fetch), for that matter Mail can read new emails. The problem is that Mail won't send mail until I close the VPN connection. I figure this is a port conflict, Mail output and Internet Connection using the same ports, is there a way to change the port either is using? If so, any idea what I should change it to?

  • Internet Connectivity Issues

    By process of elimination, I may have the right source of my problem, but may not!
    Recently purchased a Time Capsule, primarily to replace my old Airport Extreme and extend its effective range within a new house. At the same time, I upgraded my iMac OS to Snow Leopard (so maybe this has caused a problem?!)
    In the last few days have been having severe internet connectivity issues - either v slow speeds or so slow that Mail and/or Safari times out. My ISP tells me that their lines are working fine (I know they would say that, wouldn't they) and, admittedly, my old Powerbook (connected to the Airport network and onto the DSL router) is running Internet applications fine. So somthing seems to be wrong with the iMac or its setup.
    Have run Network Diagnostics which tell me there's no problem (except it's still really slow!) and have obviously rebooted repeatedly (including the router and Time Capsule).
    Any ideas?

    Hello AnaB4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you are getting a message to connect to server to update ink levels when printing with the 8620. This has been an issue since the weekend, server problems have been noted as the cause. The only resolution I know of at this time is to follow the steps here: Re: How do I correct the date on my HP Envy 4500?, or keep hitting OK.
    Cheers!
