Hardware :: Airport Won't Connect To The Internet Wirelessly?
Mar 8, 2010
I've read about a thousand threads and can't seem to find a solution to my problem: my computer is able to recognize my Airport network and it has the green signal next to it with the full signal strength, but when I select it, the internet doesn't work. I'm using a Macbook OSX with an Airport Extreme.

Yesterday, I attempted to wirelessly connect to the internet and I am getting "your computer is being managed by The Gaines Family6 (that's my host computer)". I thought it was my router so I unhooked everything and started over and still the same thing.

Recently did a reinstall now I cant connect to the internet wirelessly. It worked fine before, all other computers in the house still work on the network.
Macbook (OS X 10.5)
SpeedStream Wireless Modem (Bell Sympatico Provider)
- It Shows me connecting to the network fine but It wont load up any net.
- My wired connection works.
- I cant access my router page via browser unless I am hardwired to the modem
(Should I be able to without internet access if I am actually connected to the network?)
I notice when hard wired I get settings of.
IP: 192.168.2.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
When not Wired I get
IP: 169.254.209.184
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
(I renewed DHCP lease and get the same)
(I entered all the IP and Subnet manually (same as wired settings) but it still would not connect.
I also tried re-install os X, as well as resetting my modem and setting my home network back up.

I was already informed for my Mac Pro that I need an Airport Card. I do have a Wireless USB adapter from my PC that I used by Netgear. Would that connect me wirelessly to my router too?

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to a new Netgear router (the Mac worked flawlessly with the previous wireless router). It claims to be connected to the Internet through Network Diagnostics but cannot resolve any sites (or gmail etc) in both Safari & Firefox. (And yes, all updates have been installed, and yes it connects flawlessly via Ethernet.)
I don't think it's the new router as my iPhone happily connects through it as well as a wireless PC notebook that I have, so why is the MacBook Pro having a problem?

I have a mac book with built in airport. I need to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly when I travel to southern California. I can connect to lynksys here, but in Ca. I don't seem to have a good signal except for hotspot cafes Then they don't always have lynksys. I've tried to find out how to get a better signal, but so far nobody seems to know.

I have a DrayTek Vigor 2800G wireless router which is connected to my phone line. I would like to use an Airport Express in the living room to connect to my stereo system in order to share my iTunes library from my Macbook. Therefore, is it possible to connect the Airport Express to the DrayTek router over wireless rather than a network cable? Or is a hard connection required?

I have an extra wireless router, the original airport express, and I'd like to use it by putting it in another room and connecting speakers to it. I did this before, with the airport express connected to the network over its ethernet port, and that worked great. How do you do it wirelessly? It's basically putting it on the network in reverse - instead of clients connecting to it over wireless, it's a client connecting to the network wirelessly. How do you do that?

I've been looking around the internet for a solution to this problem. I'm currently in an apartment with a single wired connection running to my Macbook Pro, i haven't got time to buy a switch or router right now and i've been trying to connect my 360 to the internet using Airport. All of the how-to's i've found so far concern connecting the 360 and Macbook via Ethernet rather than Airport, and while i've tried to follow the steps as best as i can i haven't been able to connect to xbox live.

I have a problem with my macbookpro and connection to internet.
1 week ago my computer as stopped to connect to internet.
I was used connecting with my airport express, but at one point my macbook pro stopped receiving ip adress from interenet.
the message on the network connection is Airport is connected to the network. Airport is does not have an IP address and Cannot connect to the internet
I have try everything...:
the Airport is working becouse all the others computers inside on my office are working well with airport.
If I connect my computer with a cable I have the same problem.
I have reset and restart Airport and computer.
I have let my connection and computer disconnected and switched off for 24 our.
I have verifyining that is not an hardware problem because I have installed a fresh OS on an external drive and when I boot from the external drive everything working well.
The OS is on boot installation 10.4.9
the machine is a Mac book pro 17 2.16 GHZ intel core duo with 2gb 667 Mhz.
My problem is that on the old installation I have a lot of software installed and will be take a lot of time doing all the new installation. I wondering if there is a way to recover the situation.

I haven't been able to connect to my school's internet and every so often when I am at home I will have to turn my Airport on and off to get it to connect to the internet(sometimes it's rare and sometimes it can happen up to 3 times a day). Is there a way to troubleshoot this to see if there is anything wrong with my Airport or if it is just a problem with my connection at home and at school?

This has been happening ever since I bought my Mac. I have reset + configured my router SO many times already and nothing is working. Can anyone explain why this is happening and/or what can I do?

I've had this simultaneous dual band APX for a while now and have just been overlooking this problem, but now I really just want to resolve it. Basically it will not connect to the internet when plugged directly into our cable modem. In order for it to work, I have to leave our old Belkin wireless router plugged in between the APX and cable modem.

I cannot connect to the internet after the last airport upgrade and Airport Extreme firmware upgrade. I can connect wirelessly to the Airport Extreme using my iMac (27", mid-2011), but cannot connect using my 11" MBA ( late 2010). When I use the adapter and connect the MBA with an ethernet cable, I can get online briefly with a restart, however the connection is lost within two or three minutes.

I cannot connect to Internet via my MBP (late 2013) through my Airport Extreme. It will connect to the AE fine, but the Airport Utility will show that the AE is not connected to the internet. Which is a lie, because other devices (iOS, Windows) will connect to internet through the same AE. working on the MBP under Bootcamp. So we can also rule out hardware issues with the WiFi chipset. This must be a MacOS (Mavericks) related issue.

It could be a firewall setting. It could be a software update. Whatever it is, I cannot connect to the internet using Extreme (it does connect to the internet using just plain old wifi). This is a sudden problem--it worked fine last week.
I'm using OS 10.5.2.

I currently use a Powerbook, and I access the internet though our AirPort Extreme router. Recently, for some reason, although I am on the right network, and signal strength is full - I am unable to connect to the internet! I've called my provider, and everything is fine on their end according to their systems. I've tried power cycling, and checking my settings, and everything SEEMS to be ok.

I have an aiport extreme card in my emac. It was installed around a year and a half ago and has workd fine until yesterday. it suddenly says that it is not configured. It also says the antenna cable is unplugged and that it is turned off. I tried to trouble shoot it with internet connection assistant which says cable is unplugged and aiport is off. I have taken the card out and reinstalled it and reattached the cable mutiple times to no avail. And yes, I know how hard it is to push in.

What do I need to connect my desktop computer wirelessly over the internet? I got a router and several laptops, but recently I made a purchase on a desktop PC, and I want to connect it wirelessly instead of through the Ethernet.

I am trying to move files between one Mac and another wirelessly. They are both connected wirelessly to the Internet with an Airport Extreme Base Station (newest version).
It seems to me that the files are transferring slowly, as if they are transferring at Internet connection speeds rather than computer to computer speeds.
The way I am connecting them is by clicking on the other Mac's name from the Finder and then connecting to it. I have file sharing turned on on both computers. I then am dragging the files from a local folder to a folder on the other Mac.
The computer I'm using is a 13" MBP with wireless N, and the other computer is a 17" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, which I believe has a slower wifi version (maybe g), which I could upgrade to N if I pay Apple $1.99 (I never did, but I remember reading about that a long time ago). Anyhow, even with the slower connection, I still should be getting faster speeds I believe.
Right now, I am trying to transfer a folder with 209 GB of files and the estimated time to complete was at first 45 hours and varied a lot until it stabilized at 30 hours. I canceled the copy until I can find if there's a way to make a faster connection?
I may end up just going about this a different way as I realize there would be faster ways, but I'm curious for future reference, as well�is there a way to tell the computer to route the data through the router rather than the Internet, or is that what it was already doing?

I have a MacBook with 10.6.4 and trying to connect PC with Windows 7 wirelessly, computer to computer. I'm trying to go into MacBook from PC laptop to copy files. Is this possible? I tried "Creating Network..." under Airport menu on MacBook, but couldn't get it to work. Is it possible with ethernet cable? I could always burn CDs but trying to learn little bit about network and stuff.

Let me start by saying that I know very little about how computers/networks, etc work.
I've had my macbook for a couple years (I don't even know how to find out what year it was made, I'd guess 2008). It just suddenly stopped allowing me to connect to the internet wirelessly at my house. I brought it to my college campus, where I've been able to connect all semester, and I cannot connect there either. I'm receiving wireless signals in both places with my phone.
When I go to system pref - network....and highlight airport, it says it's not connected even though i have all my bars at the top right of the screen.
It says "Airport does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet."
I should point out that my brother's macbook pro still works fine wirelessly in our house.
