On my old MacBook I can see our Wifi in our house, but the internet is not responding. Every other Mac in our house connects to the internet. I'm on IOS 10.6.8 however my daughter is on this IOS and she connects fine. Any ideas?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
It is a little unclear whether you are able to actually join the wifi network in your home and just can't get access to the Internet, or you can't even join the network.
Does the AirPort icon in the menu bar have black or gray markings in it? Black means it has joined the network, gray means it sees the network but is not joined.
If you are able to join the network, it is possible that your DNS settings may have a problem. Let us know and we will work with you.
Best of luck.
The airport icon is grey with an exclamation point, when I run through "network diagnostics" everything is green, Network settings is yellow, Internet and server is red.
See this Apple aritcle for help with your issue.
Thanks, typing the dollar sign in front of the password worked. But odd that the other laptops in the house were working fine without this hassle. Thanks so much!
You are welcome and thank you for the courtesy of awarding the "solved" for this thread. It is not required but it is certainly appreciated.
I am having the same problem as julia186 was but when I go to click the link for this article it says "access denied" I need help because my computer will connect to the wifi but not the internet. I have the exact problem that julia186 had! Please help!
I can detect wifi but can't connect to internet?
