I upgraded to Fiber Optic today and now my ipad mini won't connect to the internet although it shows a signal

Hello Tom,

So this is the Airport Forum. Hence when you were discussing your "Airport", one assumes you are referring to the Airport Extreme or Airport Express (ie - http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/ or http://www.apple.com/airport-express/). It is slightly confusing when Apple refers to the Airport being the wireless in devices as well as their wireless routers.

It would help us if you told us what type of connection, for instance I live in the UK and have Fibre Optic (to cabinet) and have a cable modem from Virgin Media, which I have then connected (via ethernet) an Apple Airport Extreme (6th Gen) to distribute the internet connection and my local LAN.

Maybe you had ADSL prior and are now on Fibre via cable?

Hi Tokyo Tom,

You don't specify the equipment that is connected to the Fibre Optic. There has been issues with Firmware on the Airports so first suggestion would be to make sure your uptodate, the latest firmware seems stable for most devices. It does sound like a DNS issue, so check the Airport settings for this, DHCP is the best option and it should get the DNS addresses automatically. And likewise check the iPads DNS settings, again DHCP should sort that out. Give those a try!! Good luck!

When you go into Airport Utility, does it ask you to upgrade the Firmware? What does the Firmware, version say it is, can you tell us which model of Airport? Thanks.
