WiFi doesn't work unless I add DNS host(s) manually

My Time Capsule is connected to a cable modem (Comcast). If I connect my computer directly to the Time Capsule with an ethernet cable, I'm able to load web pages just fine. If I connect my computer via WiFi it doesn't connect to the internet unless I manually add a DNS server address.
This is not too big a deal except when trying to do a restore on Lion on a machine which is not located near the Time Capsule. This requires an internet connection, but doesn't, as far I can tell, offer the opportunity to enter a DNS server address.
Is there some way to configure this so that WiFi clients will get their DNS server addresses from the Time Capsule?

I got it working finally. The problem was that the Time Capsule had some bogus values in the DNS field. Clearing all the DNS entries fixed the problem. The bad values appear to have been loaded automatically.

Since update extended wifi doesn't work

I updated my express extreme as required. Since my airport express that I use to extend my wifi doesn't work anymore. I did a reset and when I try to configuration it keeps telling me that an error has occurred and that I should try again.

I reset modem and router. Still have the same issue. I have a laptop connected to the network as well as a PS3. Both are working great. Did a Speedtest app test on iphone. With 3g it was working good. When i switched to wifi, it was trying to get the ping test accomplished, and could not. it was stuck in the ping test at 0% for a long time and never progress.

Wow- thanks Jim! I removed the case and voila... it worked. Knock on wood that you solved my problem with such an incredibly simple solution. I'll find out where this proximity sensor is and make sure my case does not interfere with it.
Thanks so much.

Δοκίμασε πρώτα νε δεις αν δουλεύει το wi-fi. Αν δεν δουλεύει πας στο service. Αν δουλεύει κάνε restore from backup. Αν το πρόβλημα ξαναεμφανιστεί τότε πρέπει να ξανακανεις restore as new και να το στησεις απο την αρχή. Αν δεν εμφανιστεί έχεις καθαρίσει.

M3800 Developer Edition: wifi doesn't work after sleep

I have an M3800 Developer Edition (2015 model). Ubuntu is factory-installed 14.04, with hardware enablement stack installed. Recently (past 1-2 weeks) wifi doesn't work after sleep (lid closed or open doesn't matter), and only rebooting gets in back. Tried rmmod and modprobe with no success. Has anyone else seen this, and/or are you aware of any open bug(s) for this?

Why the wifi doesn't work after the upgrade to iOS 5?

The problem is that after the upgrade to iOS 5 the wifi doesn't work. I mean, iPad is connected to the wifi but not to the internet and also the connection on the other device doesn't work. So I had to turn off the router and then turn it on.

Try a hard reset first to see if that does any good. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If no luck with that, you'll need to manually connect your iPod to your iTUnes library in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below. Doing so will allow you to bypass the passcode and restore the iPod.

Question Mark Folder on start up on an iMac; USB "doesn't work" unless...

I am having a very difficult time with an old Indigo iMac (slot-loading). The symptoms are as follows:
Blinks between Smiley Face and ? on start up
Keyboard doesn't work unless in the Developer mode(? mode with the white screen and some command options. I think it's developer mode...)
I do not know what to do really. Even using alternative methods to try and get the computer to boot such as hooking up another drive from a different computer to it via an IDE to USB and trying to get it to boot, but to no avail. Is there anything I can do in the Developer mode that would help?
Power Mac G3 800 mhz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi, Lezard -
If it is a 333MHz model, it is not a Slot-Loading model; it is one of the last of the tray loader models (designated as the Five Flavors models), as indicated in the right-hand column for that model (fourth one down) in the KBase article you linked to, Article #58669.
In that case it is not USB bootable.
Is there a way I can possible change the start up disk through Open Firmware?
Not that I'm aware of - Open firmware is not that flexible.
Have you tried booting it to an OS Install CD, one valid for that model? Such would be the original Software Install CD that came with it (OS 8.5.1), or any retail OS 8.6 or OS 9 Install CD. If you can get it to boot to a CD, you can change or reset the boot volume using Startup Disk control panel.
Also, if you can get it to boot to an OS Install CD, run Disk First Aid from the Utilities folder on the CD - let it have a look at the drive, and repair whatever it can.
While booted to the CD, take a look at the System Folder on the hard drive - does it show the Mac OS glyph superimposed on the folder's icon, or is the folder icon plain? If it is plain, that System Folder is no longer blessed, which is relatively easy to fix.
Note - when using keyboard startup commands, for most of them be sure you press the key(s) early enough, usually about the time the startup chime sounds; and keep them held down until you are sure the command has been accepted or been invoked.

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

WiFi doesn't work after repair

Hi,
Today I received my iMac 27" back from repair. It had the screen and the optical drive replaced since both were defect.
According to the papers, nothing else has been replaced, but WiFi doesn't work now. I can't connect to my own network (Time Capsule), and only very few networks show up in the list -- quite often, mine is not there, and sometimes there are none at all. Checking with a laptop right next to the iMac, I can see plenty of networks (and my own network works fine).
Could the Apple guys accidentally have screwed up something? I thought about looking at the antenna connectors on the AirPort card (a guide is available on iFixIt), but it seems quite complicated (and I don't have the necessary screwdrivers).
Thanks,
Michael

And if it under warranty you do not want to open it up and void your warranty.
When the authorized tech installed new memory modules in my 09 Mac mini, he shorted out my wireless card and they had to order a new one and install it. I would take it back and have them figure out what is wrong.

WIFI doesn't work on startup

When I turn on my dad's iMac (Mid July 2010, iMac) the WIFI doesn't work. When I click the WIFI icon on the menu bar is says somthing to the effect of you don't have WIFI installed. When I restart it works. this happens every time.
What do you think is wrong? do I need to take the iMac in to an Apple store?

Hi,
First, my wlan card was unknown by w7 (unknown device and I had install all the others drviers). So, because I don't know what card was in the L630, I downloaded the Atheros and the Broadcom wlan drivers.
When I refresh in the device manager, I tell w7 to automatically find the driver (in drivers folder and in its subdirectory).
w7 find a Broadcom card, install the driver (with the error message : file not found without any name of file) and shows in the network section of the device manager a Broadcom 802.11n card, but didn't shows the model (I think its a 43xx). Thre isn't any other unknown device in the device manager, all seems right.
I also try to install it with the Grand Administrator account : same result !!!!!!!!!
I have try with the Atheros drivers (just in case) but w7 tells me that there isn't any drivers found for my card (so I think its a broadcom)
When I press Fn + F8 key nothing happens (the led of the wifi stay orange) and the hotkey bar doesn't drop down.
Thats why I wish to rinstall the hotkey utility, but It doesn't exist for other OS than XP....
I try to install it (the XP hotkey utility) but its make an error : common module not found
I try to install common module then the hotkey utility, but I get the same error : common module not found
I'm agree with you xver, install a fresh w7 64 bits then all the drivers shoud not be such problematic, I do this fort one Tecra A7 and One Aspire One 751, they works perfectly, but they where all of them under XP ......
Next step :
I must confirm (to my self too) if the F8 key work properly (by trying to start w7 into safe mode),
remove any trace of the common module and the hotkey utility from the registry,
remove the broadcom and atheros wlan driver and delette any trace in the registry,
go in a church and light a candle for miracle ?
