Wi-Fi Connected, but no internet access

I had the same problem but my boyfriend just solved it.

Basically, he just reassigned the ip address for the device.

Go to the wifi setting for the network you're connected to. Change to Static and manually input the addresses. If you have a PC connected to the network, go to run>cmd>ipconfig to get the addresses.

These are the same addresses you automatically get under DHCP setting and you should keep the numbers all the same except the IP Address. It should be 192.168.1.x change the x to any number that's not assigned to any other device in your network (just choose a high number).

Before:

IP Address: 192.168.1.7

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Router Address: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 192.168.1.1

After:

IP Adress: 192.168.1.8

Everything else the same.

There could be other causes to this problem but I hope this helps some of you.

I solved by using "mHotspot" free third party software. "Connectivity" also worked, but was shareware with ads. I tried all of the other suggestions on here to get an adhoc connection to work to no avail.

Dear AnatS

Thanks for your advice as this has fixed the problem I had with my iPad2 not connecting to the internet... your recommendation above is greatly appreciated...🙂

4.2.2.4

did the trick!

Why is that?

This seemed to work for me aswell, Thank you very much!

this worked on my 4s! thanks!

AnatS ... your solution worked for me, too.

Out of the blue today, my iPad just stopped connecting to our Wifi. It had something similar to 10.1.10.2 (not exact) in the IP Address, Router and DNS fields. The Search Domains field had also been wiped clean.

I'm not sure what caused this, but after I entered everything in under the Static settings (used what I saw on my iPhone), all of the DHCP settings returned to normal, and it seems to be working fine now.

The only thing that I did this morning that could have affected the iPad was to run some software updates for several apps -- nothing to do w/ iOS, on the surface, but something apparently screwed it up anyway.

ADDENDUM: I was playing around w/ it, and when I switched back to DHCP, all of the settings were changed -- which I should have expected, duh. Don't be like me. Just leave it on Static.

Thanks, AnatS!

I had a similar issue on my macbook pro running 10.8.4

The way I resolved it after a few hours of trying everything else I read on this forum is I opened Terminal and typed in both these commands: This reset my DNS settings

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

4.2.2.4 for Dsn got my wifi back good looking!!

TURN OF YOUR FIREWALL

What about having the Alert: No internet connection showing up but I can still browse the internet? I'm using mavericks on my macpro and connected actually using wifi....

Dropbox and Skype are online, but Alert sign says no internet connection....Macpro Mavericks....

I had this problem on my brand new iPad air. What turned out to be the cause of the problem for me was that the router had Wifi Protected Setup enabled. Turning that off fixed the problem.

Wifi Protected Setup is supposed to work with devices that support connecting with a pin number set by the router. In my experience this has been the cause of two iPads not being able to connect to the internet through the router.

Hope this helps.

What worked for me was changing the router security protocol from wpa2 to wpa. Some apple devices seem to have issues with wpa2.

eureka204 solved my problem, thanks!
