Wireless computers not connecting to internet

I had a great thing going. Cable modem connecting to Asante router. From router I had the main computer and two more ethernet connected devices and then a connection that went to my Airport Extreme Base Station (the previous dome shaped model), and a printer connected to the base station. Everything connected, printed and got along fine. Then my 6 year old router went out.
So here is what I am trying to do without the router. From Cable modem (motorola) to AEBS WAN port. Main computer to LAN port and printer in USB. I can connect to the internet from the Main computer and connect to any wireless computer. I can print from any computer. But none of the wireless computers can access the internet.
I've tried 5 hours of swapping cables, shutting down and restarting devices, re-configuring, and anything else I can think of to try. I'm out of ideas. Isn't this supposed to be a pretty basic configuration I am trying? No additional equipment, just modem to AEBS.
I can't find any valuable help on the support site so I thought someone might have an idea.
Thanks.
Keith

I got everything fixed if this helps anybody. I don't understand why it had to be like this but here is what I had to do.
I had to purchase a router to put between the modem and AEBS. But any device connected to the router directly cannot access the printer because it doesn't have a print server built in. I have my main computer plugged into the LAN port of the AEBS and it and all the wireless computers can print just fine.
I so thought the AEBS was a router, but apparently can't assign ip addresses or something. Maybe if I had the new AEBS it would work more like I wanted. But my issues is resolved for now.
If anyone has any further comments on this issue I would still like to hear them in case I am missing something.

Connected to Wireless Network, Not Connected to Internet...

Hi All
I recently had my NVIDIA graphics card replaced as it freaked right out the other day.
I took my MacBook Pro home yesterday and everything was perfect. It connected to my wireless network @ home as normal, and was functional all night.
I have come to work today, and it automatically joined up with the network here. Only problem is, that whilst it connects to the network here, and obtains an IP address as well, as soon as I try to connect to the internet, it says that I am not connected to the internet!!!
Now the finer details:
* I have reset EVERYTHING. Routers, Modems, Computers etc
* All firmware is still the same as it was pre-nvidia fix up.
* Distance is not a problem, I am sitting next to the wireless router.
* An ethernet cable from the router to my computer ALLOWS access to the internet
* My Iphone can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the internet.
* A windows PC can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the net.
* I can see that it is connected to the router AND given an IP address.
Please help!!!

I had the same problem. I sent my MBP to get a Logic Board/Nvidia fix and when it came back I could no longer connect to networks using DHCP. I have to manually put in my IP, Subnet, etc. for every network I join.
Randomly about a week in I had some pop-up window show up asking me to allow incoming network connections for something and when i clicked on it I was able to us DHCP again. Just tonight it stopped working and I am once again in the position where i have to manually input IP info, etc.
Super Frustrating

I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your response.
I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

Wireless network monitor says I'm not connected to internet, but I am?

Hi,
I have a WRT54G v6 and a WUSB54GC. I can connect to the inter just fine and for the most part the linksys wireless network monitor says I'm connected to the access point and internet. The problem is occasionally it will says that I'm connected to the access point but the internet when I really am and I can browse the web just fine. I get the not connected to internet msg for a few minutes then it just goes back to connected. Any ideas?

Hi...
I think here the issue may be that the utility and the internet connection are not getting synchronised. The operating system on your computer is it win XP? If it is win xp, u can use the windows wireless software to manage to your wireless network. In order to use the windows wireless zero configuration, right click on the linksys icon at the bottom right hand corner of the task bar, select the option that says "use windows wireless ....".
The linksys icon will be grayed and windows will be managing the wireless network. Connect to your wireless network and you should be able to go online.

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.

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?

AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
let me know for any help !!!

Iphone 5s not connected to internet?

Hello! My new iphone 5s worked fine for the first couple of weeks, but at the moment, it is not connecting to the internet except through wireless network- so if I am just out and about, and not connected to wifi, it will not connect to internet at all. Could anyone advise me of how to trouble shoot this? i have data roaming button switched on.
Thanks!

Try a Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

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

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.

Printer not connected to internet - have pulled and reattached ISB with no change.

Printer not connected to internet - have pulled and reattached ISB with no change.

Is the printer connected to a network? For any Internet functionality to be present on printers, the printer will need to have its own connection to the network. It sounds like the printer only has a USB connection.
On the printer, go to Setup>Network>Print Network Configuration Page.
Does it have an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers listed (other than 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.X.X)? If so, then it is connected. If not, then go to Setup>Network>Wireless Setup Wizard to connect to the wireless network. This should get the printer connected provided there is a wireless network available.
What brand and model is the router (if one is present)?
