WiFi Connection does not see the internet

I have this problem with my Inc2 and my home wifi. I have a Linksys/Cisco E1000 router supplying my wireless and wired networking at home; it is a standard set up with a WPA Personal2 shared key authentication. I set my Inc2 to connect with the home network, and it reports it is connecting, getting an IP address and connected messages in sequence. If I look on the router itself, it reports the mac addres of the phone as being connected. But any attempt by the phone to get to the world goes nowhere. Now I do not have any problems connecting other devices: laptops, tvs, dvd players all connect and get to the internet. The router supplies the DNS settings, and I presume the phone is setting the router as the gateway (router IP is 192.168.1.1, surprise). but the phone just returns site not available. (Even for the Google page). Other apps have reported site not available messages when they try to run with wifi at home is connected.
Now I have had success at open sites (eg. Wendy's, Panera Bread, that sort of place) connecting and getting access to the world. But I have not way to find out what the settings of the phone are when it 'connects' to my wifi to try to find out what the problem is.
Can anyone give me a clue how to find out what piece is broken here? It is only my android phone that connects in this 'half-baked' way...like I said, everything else ( 3 laptops, a tv, a dvd player, an Xbox) all connect fine.

I have the same problem and I have a router Verizon sent me. I have to turn off wifi every time I want to log on to the internet at home and on the job. that means I'm using up my data when I have free wifi

Airport Extreme set-up - Ethernet connection ok but wifi connection doesn't see the internet

I'm trying to set-up a new (5th Gen) Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi to replace an existing TRENDnet router.
It's connected to a Motorola cable modem with Optimum internet service.
When I hard wire my laptop (Windows) through ethernet I get internet access. However when I try to connect via wi-fi on the laptop the Airport Utility displays 2 errors: Internet not available and No DNS server.
When I try to connect my ipad, when I select the Wi-fi network I see the network and it tries to connect but continues to cycle, with the wi-fi icon appearing in the top line then disappearing before returning. In the Airport utility on the iPad I see the same issues listed as on the laptop.
In the airport utility under the internet connection, "Connect using" is set to "ethernet" and "connection sharing" is set to "Off(Bridge mode)"
Appreciate any help.
thanks

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Macbook or iPhone does not see the internet on the Airport Extreme

This morning I found my Macbook could not connect to the internet, no matter what I tried.
I reset the cable modem. All lights are green.
I reset Airport Extreme. The light is green.
I connected my Macbook directly to the Airport Extreme: the diagnostic came back all green.
I called the cable company, verifying the IP address. Everything confirmed.
But I can't get the internet to appear on my MacBook. Even if it is plugged directly into the cable modem. My Macbook acknowledges that the Airport is there and it verifies I am connected. Just no internet.
I also have the iPhone, which cannot connect to the Airport. I have no other computers on the network.
I'm lost. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Duane!
I talked with the cable company for an hour. From their end, they verified everything was working correctly. And when I plugged my MacBook directly into the cable modem, I verified the IP address matched what they displayed on their screen. Also the green lights on the cable modem indicate that it is receiving data and, every blue moon, can send data.
When I say "no internet", I mean when I open Safari or Firefox web pages are not displaying. Safari returns with "Safari cannot find the server". I checked Yahoo, Google, Apple and none of the sites are able to come up through my web browser. Mail wasn't able to retrieve my messages.
On my iPhone, I can't remember what the error message was but I wasn't able to connect either.
Thanks so much for your time.

E2500 replacing a WRT54G does not see the internet

I am trying to replace a (dying) WRT54G with an e2500. I've done the usual several times:
- remove the old router
- connnect the new router to the DSL modem
- power up the 2500
- run linksys connect
- power cycle the DSL modem
The result is a network created based on the e2500 that provides wireless connections to the various devices in the house (computers, network drives, ...) but no connection to the internet. When I reinsert the WRT54G and power it up, the network runs as before.
I read on this forum something about a conflict between the IP address of the e2500 (192.168.0.1) and the DSL modem. However the IP address for the e2500 is the same one used by the WRT54G.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bert

New router does not see the Internet

I replaced my MI424WR Rev. D with a new MI424WR Rev. I. The old version D work very well put I wanted the WPA2 sercuity of the the new router. I follow the instructions that came with the router and hooked up the router as instructed. Lights on the router started to light up and turn green except on: The Intnet light. After waiting ~15 minutes, I went through the usual procedure of checking the cable, unplug the router and replugging it in and resetting the router. I even reset the ONT. I was wondering is there something else I can do before having to clean out the closet and call in a tech to see if he or she can fix it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to release the IP address from the old router. You can also plug in the new router and call Verizon and have them do it.

After downloading, install software does not see the internet.

Has anyone dealt with this issue, Please advise.

Go to system prefs>security and privacy>firewall and make sure that PSE is allowed out.

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
     a. wired?
     b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

Does not see my internet connection

I have downloaded the trial of XI but still I cannot sign in to complete the downloaded
the installer does not see my internet connection
I have blocked the firewall and antivirus but still cannot sign in
it says my clock is not correct?

The path to this file on my Windows 8.1 computer is:
C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
where my username is Steve.
Windows 7 will have the same sort of path. Windows XP won't.
AppData is a hidden system folder so it may be invisible in Explorer. Just go ahead and type in AppData in the Explorer address bar after you've clicked into your user folder and it should work.

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 remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.
Cheers!

Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good.

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility. How can I get it to see the drive?

My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility. How can I get it to see the drive?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.
