Wifi says connected but can't connect to internet, email etc

my ipad wifi says it's connected but can't get internet, email etc.

Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to the WiFi.

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

Imac wi-fi, it says I have a connection but can't get any internet access

Hi All,
Help please, just got a new iPad air and trying to use the Wi-Fi function on the iMac to access internet on the iPad. Used to be able to do this on previous tablet but now iMac won't wi-fi any of my devices- including new iPad. All devices and iMac say there is a connection but when I open internet apps it tells me there is no connection. Have reset iPad, turned wi-fi on/off, turned internet sharing on/off everything! Think the problem is the iMac, can anyone suggest a solution?
Cheers

I have checked the network in the system preference. The Built-In-Ethernet has a green light beside it and says "Built-In-Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address (bunch of numbers). You are connected to the Internet via Built-In-Ethernet."
When I click on "Assist me" and then "Diagnostics", The Network Diagnostics screen pops up and Scans for a while. There's five tabs on the left. Built-In-Ethernet is green, Network Settings is Green, and ISP is green. After scanning for a while, the tab by Internet goes red and says Failed below it, and the tab by Server goes red and says Failed below it. Then it asks me "Have you ever used this computer to successfully connect to the internet?" I say yes, and then it asks for the network port configuration that I would like to use. I choose Built-In-Ethernet, and it scans for a while and tells me "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find www.apple.com. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
My neighbor has a wireless network that is unsecured. I use it all the time on my ipod touch. My imac finds it, connects to it, but I still have the same problem. No browser or mail will work.

WRT54GS Says I'm Connected, but can't connect to the Internet on my Laptop

I have a Linksys Router connected to my desktop (running XP) and a laptop (running Windows 2000), as well as a wireless printer. I can get on the internet from my desktop, and my printer works fine. However when I try to use my laptop I can't get on the internet. I checked the status and everything is fine and everytime I check on "Find WLAN" it comes back and says you are successfully connected. All this happened after I connected my laptop in a hotel I recently stayed at. I am able to connect my laptop to any other unsecured sites, but not my secured site at home even though, again, it says I am successfully connected??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can not access web wifi simble on but can not connect the the internet

wifi on but can not access internet

I COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM!!! : CHANGE YOUR ISP
I it is obvious that we are talking about different issues, but all arise from the same origin. I am a surgeon and fortunately one of my patients is executive manager of one of biggest ISP companies from which I have bought my Internet service for home and my clinic.
One day I told him the problem and he promised to check it for me. A few days later he called me and discussed the exact problem (unfortunately as I am not I.T professional, I couldn’t understand it well, I can just remember he was talking about MULTIPLEXING incompatibility between Mac security settings and that specific ISP multiplexing settings, He also said they had similar problems with some Linux users. I can remember he relate the problem to cheap ISP hardware, which leads to security issues which are ignored by Windows Systems but leading to connection blockade in Mac Browsers. That’s why if you PING yahoo.com, you will see everything is OK but your browsers are not working)
In fact this is a hardware issue which is related to ISP (Internet Service Provider) security and not your Mac.
The day after, I took my MacBook to some ISP offices and asked them to let me connect to their line just for a test. “ Surprisingly I found out without changing my MacBook’s settings it works well with some ISPs and not with others!! “
I have two ADSL lines: one at home and one in my clinic. First I changed my home ISP and everything is well at home from the day I did the change. But before changing my clinic’s ISP it worked at home and not at the clinic. Later I changed my clinic’s ISP and afterward never I had any problem. This proves ( as that manager said also) this problem is related to ISP and not Mac itself and that’s why Apple could not have resolved the problem yet: different ISPs have different issues.
Here I can make some suggestions:
1- First, take your MacBook into different ISP offices and find the one which works well (before making the contract and paying money to the ISP, restart the Mac or send it into sleep mode repeatedly to make sure the connection never drops with restart or sleeps)
2- Change your modem: Modems as TP-LINK, D-LINK, are not well compatible with Mac. Apple modems or Linksys are perhaps the best choices (this is not main cause of internet drop, but can affect the performance)
3- Make sure your neighbor’s Wi-Fi is not exactly on the same channel as you are using (I use iStumbler for finding my neighbor’s channels)
4- Find best DNS: ask your ISP to provide you most compatible DNS’s for you. Perhaps most known DNSs are 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.4.It helps you to browse the Internet more efficiently
Some people in other forums suggested that upgrading to Mountain Lion has helped them. But It didn't work for my clinic's line. Just changing the ISP at clinic resolved my problem
BETWEEN THESE 4 SUGGESTIONS, THE FIRST ONE IS THE MAIN SOLUTION AND NO 2-4 CAN HELP THE PERFORMANCE.
Move on!!! Change your ISP and let me know if it works!!!!

I have a connection, but can't get any internet or email

I have two macs. The new one suddenly won't open any internet pages or email. I can't use Safari or Firefox or my mail. The old G4 cube on the same cable modem is having no problems at all. I called my ISP, and everything is fine from their end, and they can see my IP address and it matches what they have, so all should be working. On the imac, it says I have an internet connection, gives me an IP address, and claims I'm connected. But when I open Safari or Firefox or my mail, I get nothing.
Any suggestions?

PC status reads connected, but can't connect to internet

I'm trying to connect my PC notebook to the Intel Mac with built in Airport. All systems seem to be on go; the signal strength on the Mac is at 100%, and the PC indicates the signal strength is very good, and the status reads connected. However, I can't connect to the internet on my PC.
The only indication of something troubling is the fact that the bubble next to AirPort is red in the Mac Network Status, but it indicates Airport is connected to the Computer-to-Computer network.
I have no idea what's wrong or how to get my PC to connect to the net, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

A computer to computer network can only be used for sharing files.
In order to share the internet you need to configure your Mac for internet sharing.
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
Share connection from built-in-ethernet via Airport.
This will mean your Mac is operating as a software base station.
However there is a potential issue why I wouldn't recommend doing this.
You won't be able to password protect the network as Windows clients can not authenticate with an encrypted software base station wireless network.
My recommendation would be to purchase another wireless router (say Airport Express) and connect that to the modem.

NEED HELP, WIRELESS CONNECTED BUT CAN NOT CONNECT TO INTERNET

SOMEWHAT COMPUTER CHALLENGEDMY LINKSYS SAYS IT IS CONNECTED WITH GOOD CONNECTION, BUT I CAN NOT GET MY WIRELESS COMPUTER TO CONNECT TO INTERNET, BY HARDWIRED COMPUTER CONNECTS FINE. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WERE I NEED TO START?

If you want some input from Linksys you have to contact Linksys support. This is a community forum...
Check the following please:
1. The computer wired to the router has internet access.
2. On the computer wired open http://192.168.1.1/ in your browser. The username remains empty the default password is "admin". You may have changed the password during initial setup.
3. Click on Wireless. Take a note of the Wireless Network Mode (mixed, b only, g only), the Wireless Network Name, Channel, and whether SSID broadcasts are enabled or not. If you still have the default network name "linksys", please change it to something unique and save the settings for this page.
4. Next, click on Wireless Security and note the settings in this tab. It will be easier for troubleshooting if you post the current wireless settings noted.
5. Now use the wireless computer (if it was the one wired to the router before, unplug it) and let it search for wireless networks. It should find a wireless network with the "Wireless Network Name" from 3. Try to connect to this network. If it asks for a passphrase or key, you have to enter the passphrase from 4. for WPA/WPA2. If you have WEP encryption in 4. you have to enter "Key 1" not the passphrase!
6. If the connection fails please posts the exact error message you see.
7. If the connection succeeds, try to open a URL in the internet, e.g. http://www.google.com/
8. If it does not work open a command prompt window: Start - Run... - "cmd". Enter "ipconfig /all". Copy the output of this command into your next post.

Connected but can not surf to internet with n97wif...

my n97 has no problem using my home wifi to surf the internet.....
i want to try to use it to connect to the wifi from Mcdonald....in Brisbane...
i get the Mcdonald log-in screen and accept the terms and log in OK.....but could not surf the internet....and get the error message....
I have the same situation when I go to the free wifi in Brisbane library....
Can anyone please help

If you are connected, you are connected. What error message do you get? There could be a lot of reasons why surfing fails. Maybe you did'nt order anything and Mac is angry with you.

Ipad2 the wifi is strong but can't connect to youtube or any other internet things

Hi.
I have a ipad2 . It has good wifi bars. When i try youtube or safari the spinning sun thing at the top goes and goes. Then i get a warning ... Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet.. Help a new user . the iOS is up to date
simon.

I had a play round last night.. I can get the pad to talk to the asus router (WL-600G). But still no internet . I'm with Orcon NZ for internet.
Thanks.

Tried everything - says its connected, but can't access the internet

I have set up my wireless correctly. I went in and changed the name of SSID, and put a WEP password on it. I have the Default IP as 192.168.1.1 and starting IP at 192.168.1.100
I pinged 192.168.1.1 and it was fine. I then pinged the 4.2.2.2 and it timed out. So I downloaded the firmware and upgraded it successfully. Tried the ping again and got the same result. Also, when I connect the modem to the router, then the router to my computer the internet doesn't work. I have to bypass the router and just use the modem.
I have reset the router multiple times - it is hard to set up because in my building there seems to be someone else nearby who has a linksys router with the same default IP and they don't have a password or anything so it's hard to decide which one to connect to to set up.
either way, nothing has worked. Any ideas?!?!

Whats the model number of your Router. When you Hardwired you Computer to the Router you still dont have a access to internet. This means your router is not configured properly.
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Here are the wireless settings which you can set on your router, Assuming you have a G series router, Follow this steps.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

If wireless network is connected correctly, then you can type following command on command prompt (cmd.exe) to check whether correct IP, netmask, gateway and DNS servers are configured or assigned to the laptop. If everything looks good, then you should be able to ping the router's LAN IP without problem.
ipconfig /all
Also ensure that there is Internet connection on router! You can check the Internet/WAN status on the router management website's status page.
If everything works well, but still fail to access website, then probably there is problem on your DNS servers to resolve the URL. You can then use the following free DNS servers from OpenDNS.com.
208.67.222.222

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!
