Two days ago i bought a Macbook Pro. I am having problem connecting it to my home network (wifi). I do the network diagnostics and on the left column appear green for wifi, green for wifi setting, yellow for the network setting, ISP green, red for internet and red for server (both of res say's falied). If someone can help me out with this I will appreciate alot. Thanks....
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
What happens when you run the Network Setup Assistant?
It say's that the airport self-assigned an IP address and won't have internet. It connects to the router but doesn't have internet.
I found this on the link provided by (ds store), but how can I solve if i can't connect with WEP?
New Mac or new location, won't connect
Newer Mac's are not connecting to WEP encrypted as it's basically worthless, WEP and WPA are both cracked only WPA2(AES) is secure.
Connect to the router with an Ethernet cable, and turn Wi-Fi off. Same problem?
I have to try that one. But in case that your process works what can I do to connect via wifi? Because I have a Toshiba computer and it connects to the wifi, so internet is working.
It will be a lot easier to follow this discussion if you reply to the message you're actually responding to, rather than to yourself.
If you can connect via Ethernet, but not Wi-Fi, see these support articles:
Sorry I am new to this lol.
Now I am using the ethernet and it's working the problem is with the wifi.
Take the steps suggested in the support articles. If that doesn't solve the problem, call AppleCare. Your warranty includes 90 days of phone support. If you still can't get it to work, try another network. Your router may be incompatible. If that fails, exchange the machine for another one. You have 14 days from the date of purchase in which to do that.
This is what say's when i go to network preferences: Wi-fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.78.65 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Ok thank you for your help!!!
I Have same problems :
I do the same network diagnostics but mine are appear green for wifi,
green for wifi setting,
greern for the network setting,
ISP yellow, yellow for internet and yellow for server.
while my router are connected and dim light is working as well.
Anyone knows too?
Thanks
I have the exact same problem as OP, and i looked through all of the suggested help and they are unfortunately totally useless. My net fails to connect wirelessly every time (yes, I have tried switching the modem and computer on/off and have the password) and the problem appears to be that my brand new Macbook 'Pro' has this going on; "Wi-Fi 2 has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.40.247 and will not be able to connect to the Internet.". Same as OP's problem.
Have you tried simply resetting your modem and then your router? There should be a small button on back of the modem that can be pushed in with a pen point that will reset the modem. Then, with the modem connected, simply unplug your router and then plug it back in after about 3 minutes. I had a problem with wifi shortly after getting my new AirPort Extreme - turns out all I needed to do was reset the router (unplugging it would not have helped as it has a standby battery).
