WRT54G unable to connect to certain internet addresses

The title is a little misleading but I wasn't sure how to word it properly.
Here is my problem, my router frequently does not want to connect to many addresses even though I can ping them. If I try to download from my newsgroup server it just says unable to connect, if I try to watch youtube videos I get an error occured. The only way to get around this is to power cycle my router. Any ideas on what's going on? I have to do this at least every other day.
edit:
I forgot to mention that I have updated to the latest firmware to try to remedy this issue.

After upgrading the firmware, did you reset the router...if no then follow the steps...
Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

I have a Motorola SB6141 modem that is connected to a time capsule. I am unable to connect to the internet on my laptop and playstation 3

Ive just switched to a "Motorola SURFboard eXtreme Cable Modem" which is connected to a time capsule.
I am unable to connect to my internet via. wifi on my Playstation.
I have already tried many different attempts to connect to the internet. I have tried to directly connect to the internet using an ethernet cable as well as restarting my mac laptop and playstation. I am only able to connect to the internet on my main computer.
Please help?
I tried being the most descriptive I could

I am only able to connect to the internet on my main computer.
What IP does your main computer get.. ?? Post a screenshot if you can as it helps to see the details.
When you open the airport utility on the main computer.. click on the TC what errors does it show?
They will list in the summary.
What mode is the TC in? If the setup went wrong it might be bridged when it should be in router mode..
Remember any time to change things around with cable modems you MUST shut down the modem as well.. it cannot change the MAC address of the first item easily so need to be off.. a few minutes at least.. sometimes up to 20min or longer. Make sure the TC captures the public IP on the wan interface.. which is the only way this will work with a pure modem.
The most recent TC can still have issues.. new AC version TC and AE have the Max amount of issues with SB6121 and 6141.. there seems to be some ethernet issue between them..
What model TC do you have??
You can slow the LAN port down or specify the actual speed in the Gen1-4.

RV042 behind P660 unable to connect to the internet

Hi,
I am a bit new to setting up dual wan router. I am currently having a Zyxel P660 Adsl router but rv042 is unable to connect to the internet as zyxel doesn't give it a I.P address. Thank you guys in advance.

Hello Rashmin,
I am not that familair with the P660 but from looking over Zyxel's website it looks like a modem/router combo.
Is it possible to place the Zyxel into bridged mode, so that it only acts as a ADSL router and passes the public IP on to the RV042? You may need to call your ISP to have them do this for you.
When you are in bridged mode you will also probably have to configure the RV042's WAN port as a PPPoE connection and enter your ISP's credentials, so make sure they give you this when you speak to them about bridged mode.
With some routers it is possible to plug in another router behind them and everything sort of works. This is called a double NAT situation, and does prevent VPN from working. However not even that is working here so I would definitely see about getting that modem into bridged mode. Some ISPs also call it IP passthrough or one-to-one NAT, just tell them you want a public IP on your RV042's WAN port.
Thank you for choosing Cisco,

Curve 9380 unable to connect to the internet via wifi

I'm using curve 9380 and unable to connect to the internet via my home wifi, there is no blackberry logo beside the wifi signal symbol. I don't have this probelm if I'm using my laptop or curve 8520 to connect to the internet via the same wifi router. Please help. Thank you.

Check firewall, if you're on wifi then try ethernet to rule out interference. It is likely a network issue.

Unable to connect to the internet please try again later

I have a blackberry torch 9800, I don't have a data plan. I use a wifi signal with other phones, but my blackberry doesn't allow me to browse or view apps online. The error "unable to connect to the internet please try again later" appears. The phone has a clear signal of the wifi, i've tried various other hotspots, my other phones work perfectly. The blackberry says it's connected to the wifi, but no internet browsing is possible. What else can I do other than rip the battery out to re-boot?

well that sux, are there any alternatives?

"Unable to connect to the internet, please try again" wifi issue

I recently recieved my blackberry storm in the mail excited to use the wifi. I set it up including entering the correct security code a number of time for the "wep" security options and it recognizes the network. I believe it's connecting also, but when I open my browser the message of "Unable to connect to the internet,please try again." pops up. I have a verizon account with a data plan, but due to not wanting to use up my data plan I switched it off as only to rely on my wifi. What can I do? I've updated everything and tried so many things. Our wifi has never done this to any other device. PLEASE HELP!

in the browser, go to the options and setthe default browser as "Hotspot browser" instead of "Internet Browser".

There is no web browser on the ATV, as a result, it cannot be used with such Internet connections.
Contact whomever provides support for the Wi-Fi service, they may be able to add the ATV to a whitelist to allow it to connect.

Unable to Connect to the internet using airport extrteme

I am unable to connect to the internet using airport extreme It was working fine with my G3 & G4 iBooks but now I am unable to connect. I am able to connect directly to my Desktop connecting directly using ethernet. I am also receiving a strong signal from the airport base station. Please help. Thank you.

Try the following, in order, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Since updating to iOS 6 on my ipad i am unable to connect to the internet, itunes or the app store. I have tried many suggestions about changing the dat, logging in/out of itunes etc but nothing has worked! Please help :)

Since updating my ipad to iOS 6 a few days ago i can't seem to get onto the internet, the app store or itunes, nor can i update to iOS7!! I sent an email to apple support and they said we don't handle these issues and redirected me back to the help forums which i have already seen and tried everything other people have suggested and nothing has worked (changing date, signing in/out of itunes etc). When i go to app store the screen is blank, in itunes it just keeps saying loading but never gets anywhere and same with the internet! When i go to settings to update to iOS 7.0.4 it says software update unavailable, try again later. Not sure what to do now. Nothing works, can't use my apps, facebook, music etc. Will contact apple again and try get some answers. But thanks for any info

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I am unable to connect to the internet via WiFi connection. My iphone works just fine. Please advise possible solutions.

I have an iPad on v5.01. I am unable to use my wifi network to connect to the internet. My wife's iPad works fine. Please advise any potential solutions.

Have you checked to see if your WiFi router needs to have your iPad's MAC address specifically permitted to use WiFi? Some WiFi routers have a section in the settings called "Access List", possibly under "Security".
You can find the MAC address in Settings > General > About > Wi-Fi Address

Connected to network but unable to connect to the internet wirelessly

I recently installed a new hard drive in my dell inspirion e1405 laptop and I can no longer connect to the internet wirelessly using the WRT54G v2. When I use ethernet it works. It says I am connected to the network. I punched in the WEP key and I am connected. I power cycled my cable modem, laptop and router several times. I followed these linksys suggestions:
Checking the IP Address of the PC
Checking the Wireless Settings on a Linksys Router
Disabling Computer's Firewall
Disabling Proxy Settings
Pinging the Router
Pinging the Internet
and it still isn't working. I downloaded the firmware and that did not work. I am using XP MCE 2005. I updated the driver for my dell wireless card several times and also deleted it from the device manager and rebooted. Still nothing.
Anyone have an idea?

Well, hope this might help
make sure you only get IP from the router's DHCP. yes, you must set Obtain IP Address for all network adapter on your notebook (wired and wireless). the basic is, all things will be fine if this IP issue is not around. coz, at behind, they do something more than give / got IP, such as creating routing path automatically. that which will be guaranteed the success of ethernet communication for wired and wireless.
i cannot guess your problem, but you might want to do this.
first, as above said, just Obtain IP Address, make it for both adapter on your notebook
second, wireless security, must talk in same way (SSID, Channel, b/a/g/n) and use same key (WEP or WPA, passphrase/secret key).
third, if anyhow you got connected but still can't go through internet, but, you can ping or access your router, for example, open your router web server to do some change of the configuration, means your packet is stuck on the router and cannot deliver further to internet and it is gateway issue. no else.
well, three shots shall go but you might need more bullets coz this is called troubleshoot
let's see how it will go.
wish you luck

WRT54GS will not connect to the internet...

Hello,
Having some issues with my router.. it's a model WRT54GS with firmware 7.2.. I'm not able to connect to the internet, whether it be wired or wireless. I can bring up the router just fine, but again no connectivity to the internet.
I tried changing the router local IP to 192.168.2.1 thinking that would fix the conflict.. but nothing seems to be working. I've cloned the MAC address and still nothing. I can connect straight to the modem and access the internet just fine, but when I try and connect through the modem, I can't bring up any web pages..
please help, I'll be glad to provide any info I can.

Sorry that last line should read:
I can connect straight to the modem and access the internet just fine, but when I try and connect to the internet via router -> modem, I can't bring up any web pages..

Suddenly unable to connect to the internet

hi all,
my mac's been working fine the past 4 years, when suddenly, a couple of days ago, i turned it on to surf the net, thats when this peculiar problem occurred..
i went onto firefox, typed in a url, but the browser is unable to load anything from it. tried other urls, same thing. tried using safari, same. i restart into this windows partition in the same computer, and i can surf the net as usual!
i connect to the internet via a wireless router that links to an adsl modem, so i try to access my router via its IP address while running mac os, and okay, the browser manages to load the router's webpage. after some fiddling around, i discover that i can actually load websites if i enter their IP address, but not urls, so the problem is most likely something to do with the dns. but the thing is i use the same dns under windows, and it works (and still does). i try using google public dns of 8.8.8.8, and it still doesn't work in mac, while in windows it works perfectly. tried turning off the firewall in mac, no improvement.
what is wrong with my mac?!
oh btw, i think one day before this happened, i just did a software update that gave an update on iLife, but can that actually cause this problem?? didn't change any other setting other than this as far as i recall..
let me know if any specs are required and i'll post them up.. thanks in advance guys!

Hi jf_element and welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like this is an issue with Domain Name Service. Possibly your Internet service provider changed some settings and didn't tell you or possibly your settings have been corrupted.
Go to your *System Preferences* (under the Apple menu) and select Network. Select AirPort from the list of ports on the left. Click the Advanced button. In the resulting dialog box, click on the DNS tab. Is anything listed here? Contact your ISP and ask them for the IP addresses of their domain name servers. Those IP addresses should go here.
Best of luck.
