What do i do if air port reads self -assigned IP address

I needed to re connect my router and air port express, when I did I can't get wi-fi any where.
the system preferences reads self assigned IP
How do I get this to work again?

Reset the Express to factory and redo the setup.
If you have issues please give some more details of how the express connects to the router.. ??
What is the router?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • After reading hours on this forum still having self-assigned IP address

    I just posted this below on another thread but it kinda is in the wrong subforum. This really is a networking problem:
    I have spent about 3-4 hours today already (a Sunday after all) reading just about every thread I could find that mentions this problem (airport choosing a self-assigned IP address and thus not sharing the internet from ethernet connection with the iPhone) on this forum and elsewhere.
    Power circuit interruption didn't work
    rebooting, resetting, etc all not working
    password deletion not working
    moving it up or down not working
    It worked fine now for months. My set up is a dsl router that connects the internet via ethernet to my iMac and then Airport is supposed to share it via Wifi so my iPhone can use it. As I said, that worked just fine for months now.
    Yesterday I upgraded to snow leopard and am now on 10.6.4. It worked still fine yesterday!
    Then I shut the system down.
    This morning reboot and it just won't work anymore.
    Any suggestion mentioned anywhere in this forum which a non-specialist like me understands does not work on my setup. I don't know where to go next or who to even ask for help!
    It's so frustrating I obviously need this to work.
    Because my iPhone has Daylite touch and needs the server setting to work to connect properly and sync. Daylite only syncs via wifi. That's my work!
    Anymore ideas out there?

    Hi,
    thanks for offering help! Really appreciated.
    I'm not quite sure how that should help? I'm always a bit with resetting things. What can it potentially mess up that is working now? What settings will be affected? There is a list but I'm not sure if there are any current changes.
    And in the list it doesn't seem to be directly linked to any networking info.
    I've tried a save reboot now but while this is apparently a good idea in any event, it didn't help solve my problem. Still getting a self-assigned IP.
    I wonder if getting a new router might solve the problem? Mine is somewhat old. The weird thing is though that it did work for a short while before it stopped doing so. So this can't really be then, can it?
    Oh this is so frustrating. I must get my network running again.

  • HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

    My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

    Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled.  If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

  • Air Port Issue

    My air port keeps losing the ip address. and signal
    It gets a self assigned ip address.
    Anyone know how to fix?

    I'm having a similar issue but with a few other variables and extra weirdness...
    I have an Airport Express base station --
    iBook G4 (10.4.10) -- no problem connecting to my airport network
    PC Laptop -- No problem connecting to my airport network
    MacBook (10.5) -- connects to my network and stays connected, however, the internet becomes painfully slow and sometimes doesn't work at all while surfing.
    However, when I switch the MacBook 10.5 to an open network in the area (which I do not like to do), it connects, no problem. It stays connected, and the internet works perfectly and never shows any problems.
    I have no idea why everything works perfectly on my network (often at the same time the macbook is having problems) except for the macbook. I know a lot of people have been having problems with wireless in Leopard, but this one seems a little different than what I've read... any ideas???

  • What to do if you can't access a wifi network and showing you message that your airport has a self-assigned IP and cannot be connected to the internet?

    Hi,
    i am currently using 10.6.8 snow leopard
    i usually access internet through my broadband modem and wifi at home.
    i've been using our home wifi network for almost 1 week now (since it's new) and almost everyone at home use it as well.
    and im using my broadband everytime i go out.
    this last week, i went to a vacation and i use the wifi connection of the hotel where i stay in.
    my connection works fine and so i don't use my broadband anymore.
    then i got home..
    when i got home..  i tried to connect to our home wifi network again .
    like what im doing before, im clicking the airport icon on the top of my desktop,
    and since my airport is always on, the next step that im doing is to click the preferred network that i want to join and put the password on it.
    this is perfectly working in my macbook before i left.
    but now , it's not working to my laptop anymore! i can't connect to it!
    after putting the password and hitting the enter, the airport icon at the top will run, however after seconds it showing gray color with exclamation point on it!
    the alert is showing : No internet connection
    but the network i joined is still checked and showing full signal !
    i tried checking my Network under system preferrence and the airport tab in the left corner is showing me a message that
    my airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.***.****.** and will not be able to connect to internet!
    i don't know what happen and i dont understand why is this happening since everyone at home can still use and access our home wifi !!
    it's the same network that i'm trying to connect to anyway!
    i tried using my broadband instead to connect online and it works fine!
    but everytime i try to connect using wifi at home , again i cant connect!
    anyone can tell me what's going on?
    i haven't try joining other network anyway! but i'm planning to do so..
    can some one help me please??
    showing me a message that
    my airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.***.****.** and will not be able to connect to internet!

    and now, when i tried to check again my network preference below the airport tab is showing a message that
    "my airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet!"
    then after seconds it will goes back to the first message that
    "airport has the self assigned IP address etc....."
    i don't know whats going on now!
    airport tab is not showing green color anyway! i'ts always in yellow!
    i tried turning it on and off but nothing happen! HEEELLLLPP!!!!

  • What do I need to connect my new Yamaha RX-V671 receiver wirelessly to my Air Port Express?

    I have just received my new Yamaha RX-V671 receiver and the only connection I have for the internet is by a network cable or by a USB slot.  I would like to hook this up wirelessly to my Air Port Express, I just need to know what I need to get so I can stream my itunes to this receiver.  My receive is roughly about 50 feet from my Air Port Express. 

    but what I was hoping to do is hook up my receiver wirelessly
    Sorry, but if the receiver only has an Ethernet connection or USB...as you say....then you are going to have to use some kind of wireless-to-Ethernet adapter....like the AirPort Express that I suggested....or another similar product to accomplish your goal of providing a network connection to the receiver.
    It would be wireless from your "main" AirPort Express to the second AirPort Express, with a short Ethernet cable from the second Express to the receiver.

  • My Air port is not working the wifi - just an amber light blinking. What's going on ?

    My air port is not working the wifi - just an amber light blinking. What's going on ?

    Sorry it is just not enough info to be able to figure it out.
    Do a full factory reset and start over.. that is the best way out of the hole.
    Using ethernet is far far superior to using wireless at least for setup.
    Using iOS device with airport utility is better than using wireless via a Mac with airport utility if you have MBA or MBPr.. but it is still better to buy a usb or thunderbolt to ethernet dongle so you have actual real connection and not a vapourous one.

  • How do i identify what devices are connected to 101, 102, etc on my air port extreme?

    How do i identify what devices are connected to 101, 102, etc on my air port extreme?

    Depending on whether a device is connecting using Ethernet or wireless, you need to know the Ethernet ID or AirPort ID of the device. That is the number that is associated with the IP address that is displayed in AirPort Utility.
    For example, if you have a Mac....
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network
    Click on AirPort , then click Advanced at the lower right
    The AirPort ID of the Mac is displayed at the bottom of the window
    For the Ethernet ID, click on Ethernet, then click Advanced, then click the Ethernet tab
    The Ethernet ID is displayed at the top of the window
    On an iPhone.....
    Tap the Settings icon, tap General, tap About, then scan down to locate Wi-Fi Address, also known as the AirPort ID.

  • Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
    Not sure what you mean here. 
    A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive.  You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
    I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
    I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
    Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

  • What is the throughput of the Air port Express?

    What is the throughput of the Air port Express? I have optimum online with 30mbps download and 2mbps download. Can the internal archectiture of the current Airport Express handle my throughput of five wireless computers? In another can it truly handle 30mbps throughput internally?

    Not sure if this answers all questions but the following was copied from the Airport Express Tech Specs.
    AirPort Express uses the 802.11g wireless standard. Accessing the wireless network requires an AirPort or AirPort Extreme enabled computer or Wi-Fi-certified 802.11b or 802.11g computer. Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme or Wi-Fi-certified 802.11g enabled computer and connect to an AirPort Express Base Station. If a user of a Wi-Fi-certified 802.11b product joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps and AirPort Extreme and Wi-Fi-certified 802.11g users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors.
    Wireless data rates
    Up to 54 Mbps for AirPort Extreme-enabled and other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11g computers (data rate depends on environment)
    Up to 11 Mbps for AirPort-enabled and other Wi-Fi 802.11b-enabled computers (data rate depends on environment)
    Range
    50-foot range from the base station in typical use at 54 Mbps data rate (range depends on building construction)
    150-foot range from the base station in typical use at 11 Mbps data rate (range depends on building construction)
