Wifi will connect but internet won't work

So my iphone 4 will say its connected to the network (check mark beside network and good signal) but when I try to open a web page/app store/youtube it says "cannot open page not connected blah blah blah" some of my friends iphone 3gs' work no problems. also I'm in Spain and my data roaming is turned off but the cellular data is still on.(don't know if that helps but thought I would mention it.)
Thanks in advance.
also I've tried resetting the network settings and that did not help either.

OK, that is good information for troubleshooting. Since it works on other networks the problem is either the router or corrupted settings on your phone. The first thing to do (if you can) is to reboot the router. The DHCP daemon in it may have crashed - this is very common. Just unplug it for a few seconds, then plug it in again. Also, if you can, verify that the router has the latest version of firmware available. As to why other phones work it could be that they had connected before the DHCP deamon crashed, and are reusing the original IP address.
Another possibility on the router side is that MAC (Media Access Control) filtering is enabled. This is a router feature that allows only previously approved devices to connect to the router. If it is enabled your phone must be added to the "allow" list in the router.
Finally, on the router side, it's possible that it has run out of IP addresses. This can happen if it is used by a lot of people. It would be necessary to change settings in the router to fix it.
If the problem is on your phone the first thing to try is to attempt to connect, then tap the ">" next to the network name and choose "Forget this network". Then back out of settings and reboot the phone (hole HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds). After rebooting try to connect again.
If this fails next go to Settings/General/Reset and Reset Network Settings. You will lose WiFi passwords, but nothing else. Again reboot and try to connect.
One of these will most likely fix the problem. If one does please tell us which one, and if nothing helps let us know that also.

  • Wifi is connected but internet has stopped working

    I have had my new ipod touch for a week and its been working fine. i had it connected to my wifi network at home with no problems until this morning when it stopped working. the wifi connectivity is fine and works with everything else, and the ipod reads the wifi network but everything i try to poen that needs connection says its not connected. Any suggestions? i tried resetting the network to no avail and even deleted all content and settings but it still wont work any more. i wondered if its possible for there to be a fault with it rather than a software issue. i am running the latest version of everything and my old one as well as my ipad works fine.

    Which one did you reset? your iPod's network or the router?
    Have you checked the wi-fi configuration? its in the arrow on the right side of the SSID (in iPod), when you touch it, IP address will come out. There are 3 Configurations to choose from,  DHCP, BOOTP, STATIC.
    Is your router was set to DHCP? your iPod should have a lease of IP from the router. if its blank or someting like 168.x.x.x, try use the STATIC...just put on your network segment (192.168.x.x) and the gateway of course...

  • Intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work.

    Hi,
    I have an issue where intermittently iphone 6 and 6 plus is wifi connected but internet does not work. iMessage works though.  Toggling the wifi setting clears
    the issue temporarily but it occurs again.  Running iOS 8.3 now.  This was the case on iOS 8.1 and 8.2 as well. 
    I have tried the typical troubleshooting steps (reboot/reset network settings/disabling location services for wifi/upgrade/etc)
    My router is an EA9200 router with 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.  It is configured with all bands with the same name.
    All other devices in my house works perfectly fine and has no disconnects (ipad/macbook air/tv's/receivers)
    My thought is that iphone 6 cannot handle well the moving around between bands. 
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Have you tried to reboot your router by turning off the power (you may have to unplug it from the power source), then waiting about 30 seconds, then turning it back on?  This seems to solve a lot of problems.

    Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network connections.
    Other basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, and restore.

  • Connected to wifi but internet won't work (airport router)

    Help,
    I've tried everything to get my ipad to connect to the internet. It says there is an excellent connection to my router (airport) and my imac & iphone work fine.
    So far I have:
    fogotten the network
    reset the network
    reset my ipad (completely and reinstalled everything)
    turned off the airport router for 2 minutes
    Added static ip address, sub address and DNS
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Earlier in the week I had an amplifier installed to improve the signal for my cable modem. Could that be interfering with just my ipad?
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi!
    So I'll explain my problem and how I fixed it.
    I have two macs and iphones in the house. I use an airport time capsule.
    The ethernet works just fine.
    Wifi on one iphone and one mac works fine.
    The other two don't. If I self-assign an IP address, the other mac works, but the iphone still doesn't work.
    I searched everywhere and tried a lot of crazy stuff.
    Here's what was wrong:
    The airport was not assigning an IP address, or it was too slow so the mac and iphone assigned their own. A self assigned IP looks like this:
    169.254.xxx.xxx
    Internet connection does not work with an IP address space of 169.254.xxx.xxx from ISP, router, or manual configuration
    An IP assigned by the airport (DHCP), should look like this:
    (10.0.1.25 or similar).
    Solution: Reset the airport to factory settings. Reconfigure wifi network.
    Took 5 minutes. Super easy. Fixed everything. Now all devices work, no problem. The airport automatically assigns proper IPs.
    Also, if you have a backup on your Time Capsule, don't worry. It won't be deleted, and when you connect to the newly configured airport with Time Machine, it will automatically find the old backups and continue as usual (just tried this today. absolutely no problems.
    Hope that helps everyone!
    I hope it reaches the people who need it!

  • Sees connection, but internet isn't working

    Hi, folks! I hope you can help me with this problem my macbook is having.
    Sometimes it does this thing where it sees the connection (bars show) but when I try to use any program that requires an internet connection (Safari, Firefox, iTunes store, or iChat) it doesn't work, doesn't connect. It used to work fine, just suddenly started doing this. I have not changed any of the settings or the IP address.
    This has been a recurrent problem since I got the laptop, and using it just sort of randomly starts working again after a couple days. Now it has been a couple weeks and it is still not working, so I would like to figure out what is the root of the problem and fix it! Does anyone have any tips or ideas?
    Thank you in advance!
    <3

    Sorry, this is my first time doing this ^^;
    I have cable, Roadrunner. I do have a linksys router, but when I try to plug the ethernet cable directly into the computer, the internet still doesn't work. My computer does recognize the signal, but I have no internet. It gives me a "page cannot be found" when I try to load up for Firefox or Safari, and iChat and iTunes store won't load up either.
    The internet was working fine, it just suddenly started doin gthis. It isn't the first time, but usually it just randomly pops back on after a day or two. My other computer is working fine, so I don't think the problem is with the connection.

  • My wifi is connected but it is not working. What can i do?

    All day today whenever I would try to connect to wifi it would connect but it would say that I was not connected.

    My first assumption is to power off your phone then unplug your WIFI router for at least 2 minutes. Plug back in router and let it reboot - then turn back on phone...

  • HT1595 apple tv connects to wifi but internet won't work?

    I am setting up my new apple tv and it says it can connect to the wifi but not the internet? I don't understand this or how to fix it

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

  • Lion 10.7.3:  WiFi is connected, but internet access is delayed

    This issue may be discussed somewhere else here, and if so I'm sorry for reposting this problem.  I have a Macbook Pro bought around June 2011.  I just updated the firmware to 10.7.3  Everytime I wake the macbook from sleep, the wifi connects immediatley, dropbox syncs immediatley, but chrome or safari won't load pages until a couple minutes after connecting.  I thought it may be a firewall problem, and I allowed connections to Chrome, but that didn't fix the problem.  Has anyone else been having issues with internet after the patch?

    I suggest you talk to your local college support person.  It seems that internet access might be disabled and you need to get them to help you get it enabled.

  • WiFi stays connected but internet keeps dropping

    Hi all
    Got a number of wired and wireless devices on my home network, all fed by my BT HomeHub 3.
    What I've noticed recently is that both my iPad and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab keep dropping the internet connection. The WiFi connection appears to be unaffected. We're also getting issues with other wireless devices, but to a lesser extent as we use those considerably less.
    I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of to date. I've done a hard reset on my ipad, reset network settings, restored the ipad, changed the web key, but as I'm sitting here tonight not 6 feet away from my router I'm still getting internet disconnection, whilst still full bars on my wifi connection.
    I've already done numerous router reboots, and now considering a factory reset. Any other suggestions? Possibly a faulty router, or too many devices on my network?

    OK, full reset done on the HH3.
    I haven't touched the Channel seletion at all, and it's returned the following:
    Here's the results from my WiFi analyser:
    My main WiFi from my router (TvLounge) is showing on channel 6.  I also have another BT HomeHub 2 connected off a PowerLine adapter acting purely as a switch / WiFi access point on channel 9 (OldLounge) and finally an all-in-one PowerLine adapter and WiFi access point on channel 13 (CharlottesRoom).
    As soon as I have reset the router i restored the SSID and WPA / WPA2 password to as it was beore. Directly after this, all devices successfully reconnected, and I immediately had intermittent WiFi issues on all connected devices (still connected to the router but loss of internet). At the time I was connected with x2 iPads, x1 Samsung Galaxy Tab, x1 Android phone.  Throughout this time I was still able to connect to the internet via my server.

  • Macbook says its Internet connected but Internet doesn't work.

    My MacBook which has not been used for a long time chow full wifi strength bet when I try to do anything Internet related safari says that it can't find the server.

    I have had the same issue and searched the forums and found nothing that helped. I contacted apple support and this is what they told me to do:
    First we’ll do the SMC reset
    1.) Shut down the Mac and connect to power source.
    2.) Unplug external devices, flash drives, external monitors, external HD (Keep the Mac plugged into power source)
    3.) Hold down “Shift” + “Control” + “Option” (On the left side of the keyboard) + Power key for 30 seconds.
    *The Mac should remain powered off during the reset, the LED on the MagSafe Adapter may change colors.
    **The “Option” key is also known as the “Alt” key on some Macs.
    Awesome, now let’s reset the NVRAM
    1.) Locate these keys “Command”, “Option, “P” & “R”
    2.) Power on your Mac
    3.) Immediately press and hold all 4 keys “Command” “Option” “P” “R”
    4.) Listen for 2 boot chimes and then release.
    **The “Option” key is also known as the “Alt” key on some Macs.
    Posting this here in the hopes that it will help someone else still searching for an answer.

  • Airport is Connected, But Internet Doesn't Work

    Hey guys. I have a 17" PowerBook G4 running Tiger. My problem is with Airport. I can't seem to connect to any network. What's strange is, I have a full signal, Open Internet Connect shows that I am connected. Everything seems ok. I can use ethernet to connect to the internet. I know that it is an issue with the computer because I can't connect to any networks, I've tried about 4 times. I've tried network diagnostics and assistant, nothing works. Any ideas?

    if ur connecting to a home modem-router(not someone elses), id suggest turning off any other computers attached to the modem or router network, and then turn off ur powerbook, unplug ur router and unplug ur modem and leave for 2 minutes, then turn modem on-wait 1 minute-turn router on-wait 1 minute-turn powerbook on and try to connect

  • Iphone says 4G but internet doesn't work

    My iphone has full bars and 4G icon but my internet has no connection. 

    The phone is about one year old.  I can make and receive calls.  I noticed this problem about a month ago. Once I have WiFi connection, internet works fine.  It's really annoying when the phone says 4G (internet connection), but internet doesn't work.  If the AT&T network is not available, why does my iphone say 4G?  Thanks
