Wifi handoff issue and "not connected to internet"

I have a house with a wireless router and a boathouse with a wireless repeater. DHCP from main router. When connected to "main", i can connect to internet to browse, mail etc. When I walk down to the pier, the stronger signal from the boathouse is not picked up, so I have to manually switch to the boathouse signal. Then when I try to browse, I get a pop up that says that safari is not connected to internet. Even though the wifi symbol is displayed, and in settings it indicates that I have switched to the new ssid. This never happened with my 3gs. Very annoying. Anyone experiencing this problem when they are in the proximity to 2 wifi signals?

Sofar I have found (off internet),
A)that if you go into sleep mode, the wifi shuts down or powers down.
B)sleep mode must be disabled in order for wifi to continue.
C)you can check this by going into wifi and seeing the iphone every 20 seconds or so looking.
D)as far as handoff ,I still not to sure but I think BOOTH units must overlap each other in order to handoff from 1 to the other.
Show much bs on the web that I have to filter the pages and there not enough time in the day to go thru it all.

  • Im connected to my home-wifi but it's not connected to internet?

    I updated my both iPhones and ipad2 a few weeks ago to the newest version of ios 5.01,  but yesterday My iPad lost the connection to internet, but i'm connected to My home WIFI, i have checked all of my other units, such as computer, both iPhones, my smart tv, and they all work fine.
    I have also tried to connect through static by manually type in ip, router etc with no success :(
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Each IP address on your local network must be unique.
    You might be able to enter static information but if DHCP is being used then you must use IP addresses that do not conflict with the IP addresses being used for DHCP.
    I think that you need to find out why DHCP has stopped working on your router/modem.

  • Wifi problems no IP, not connected to internet

    I have some problems connecting to the internet via wi-fi.
    First internet becomes very very slow for like couple of hours, so slow that it takes like 5 minutes to load a page... then at some point it just disconnects me from the internet. When im trying to connect back to it the connection times out and if i go to network preferences its written there that my mac doesnt have an IP adress and i wont be able to connect to the internet. Then after a while its shows that im connected again to my connection, but it just doesnt load any pages...
    The strangest thing is that only my macbook is having this problem (it totally works on my notebook that i was using before i bought my mac, plus there are 3 more ppl using that connection and they dont have any problems).
    First it happened like 2 weeks ago and i spent like hours trying to figure out what to do. In the end i just got really stressed and ****** and left my macbook for 2 days without even touching it.. after that i was thinking to bring it to the Mac shop so that they can help me to solve this problem and just to try, to make sure it still doesnt work i turned on my mac and it was working again without any problems! Until yesterday!! Was exactly the same script : mac got slow, then it disconnected from internet at all, then timing out the connection and no IP adress and finally, connected, but not loading any pages!!! Today all day long it switches between no ip and connected but not working. ITS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!! Im connected now using ethernet with cable, but its really not comfortable like that and i would love to solve this problem.. ANY IDEAS??

  • My iMac is not staying connected to my wireless internet. Any suggestions?  My provider says it's a computer issue and not their problem.

    My iMac is not staying connected to the wireless internet.  My provider tells me it's a computer issue and not their problems.  Any suggestions?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 7
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 8
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet.

    My macbook pro is connected to wifi but it will not connect to the internet. When I go on safari, it says that "Safari can't verify the identity of the website". Then I tried to update flashplayer but you need the internet to update it. All this only started happening after that Moutain Lion software was downloaded onto the laptop. Please help, I have been internet-less for a couple months now.

    Hi rynhelp,
    If you are not able to connect to the internet after installing Mountain Lion, see this article for information on how to start troubleshooting:

  • Apple TV does not connect to internet over the WiFi network

    I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
    My desktop is an iMac running Mac OSX Leopard
    I have created a WiFi network using the AirportExpress conected to an ADSL router.
    The wireless network is working fine and I have access to internet through my iMac or other PC and Apple laptops.
    Yesterday, I tried installing my new AppleTV following the little instruction book. My problem is that while the AppleTV detects my network (it shows up as the network) and on choosing this network connects to the network but gives a message that it has not connected to internet.
    As a result while it synchronises with iTunes on my iMac, it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play YouTube or images from my MobileMe account or log on directly to the iTune Store.
    I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

    I am having a similar (or identical) problem. I have a network running on my airport extreme. My imac and my girlfriend's laptop can connect to the internet without issue. The apple tv finds my network and reports that it connects, yet it doesn't seem to. I cannot access trailers or youtube, cannot update, and cannot play purchased content. I reset the apple TV, but that did not solve the problem. Should I reset the airport extreme?

  • IPhone 5s: Intermittent wifi; wifi signal is full but phone not connected to internet

    Hi all, I have a strange wifi connectivity problem.
    At home:
    iPhone 5s connects normally to wifi, but after several minutes of usage (particularly browsing the internet), wifi signal remains full but safari states that phone is not connected to internet. Other apps like whatsapp also don't work. When I disable wifi then enable it again on my phone, I can connect to the internet temporarily again, but after a few seconds it disappears again. If I leave it for a while, it automatically connects again, but intermittently and unpredictably. All in all, unreliably.
    At home, MacBook Air works fine with no connectivity issues.
    At other wifi locations, the same iphone 5s has no problems at all with wifi connectivity.
    Also, I have already
    - reset phone
    - reset network settings on phone
    - reset router
    - unplugged and replugged modem and router to wall switch
    - previous iPhone 4 on iOS 7 had no issues with home wifi
    Thus, I am uncertain if this is a phone or wifi issue. My best guess would be that it is a compatibility issue between the iPhone 5s and my home wifi?
    Any suggestions as to where I could start solving this problem would be very appreciated! Thank you:)

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPhone. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPhone on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPhone does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPhone is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • TS1398 My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet.  It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

    My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet.  It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

    I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues.  First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is.  I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything.  Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet.  I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally.  It's not site-specific.  Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine. 
    The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads.  It will just show the blue box with a question mark.  I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites. 
    I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly.  I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari. 

    Try repairing permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup  disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select:  Repair Disk Permissions
    This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
    When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
