No internet but Netgear router is connected

Hi so what was the solution I couldn't understand I have the same problem my computer pings but internet explorer or firefox cant display the page, I called netgear and they couldn't help me, Hopefully you can give me some tips.
Thank you!

Hi was wondering if you may be able to give me some advice,
as I seen that you managed to help this lady out,
firstly I no nothing about computers or computer talk so if you can help please make it as basic as poss (thanks)
i have internet on my main computer I have a netgear wireless router mr814 v3,
the computer works fine, if I go to use the wireless via a laptop or xbox it works for a short time then just disconnects its self, sometimes you can get strait back on sometimes you cant get on for days,
last month I paid some one to mend this problem ( over £100) and guess what its not mended, he came and looked and said it was something on the computer and laptop so took them both away to sort out clean out, he had them about a week , I think he could just see I didn't have a clue, so took the piss really, but nether the less i'm still at square 1 with the same problem, I wont call him back, I just cant in case he tries to get more money out of me, so if you can help I would be most most grateful of any help, thanks for reading this.

i had same problem a simple thing that mite help is go to your internet settings and go on manage wireless netowrks, then remove them all and then connect to it again from scratch, worked for a while with me might work :)

similarly I have the same problem too..the network appears to work fine... but some sites like google...and rest (but not most) appears to give connection problem and the firefox browser it gives the same problem as internet explorer but it appears to say connection interupted

Disable security and it will work

I had that problem just now. I honestly don't know why it would go from working perfectly for weeks, to suddenly blocking me out when I tried to use it tonight. I reset the computer, hoping it would resolve itself, but it still didn't connect, although the connection strength was excellent. I was beginning to worry that I had a virus or trojan, so I decided to try loading up another family member's laptop to see if it was also being blocked. However, before it finished loading, I suddenly thought that maybe it was my ROUTER that was the problem! I turned off the Netgear, turned it back on, and lo-and-behold, my connection was working again! I don't know WHY that worked, or if it would work for anybody else, but it worries me, because I think somebody/something has hijacked my signal. Is that possible? Can you be blocked from accessing your own router? At any rate, my Wii and PSP still connected okay, so not sure what the deal is. :P I'm not very technically savvy, unfortunately...

I ran across this problem on a friend's PC running Windows XP. She had just purchased a Netgear wireless USB adapter. After installation it show signal strength excellent and appeared to be connected (no red "x"), but when I brought up Firefox or IE the page could not be displayed. I resolved this problem by doing the following: Right click on the wireless connection icon in the lower right hand corner of your screen (looks like a little computer with "waves" coming off it). Click on Open Network Connections. Right click on your wireless connection. Click on properties. Click on the Wireless Networks Tab. Make sure there is a check mark in the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings." Click ok. Keep an eye on the wireless connection icon in the lower right hand corner of your screen. It should disconnect (red x will appear) and then will try to reconnect. You might need to choose your Wireless Network name and punch in the passphrase again. That should resolve your problem.

Just spent 10 hours fixing this problem with little knowledge of wireless and never used it before. I was using the netgear wizard. I had three problems 1 - a faulty cable connection that kept dropping out the router to modem connection. 2 - I misread the setup instructions when it came to the "how is your router connected" part. I used the wrong settings more than once in my 15 attempts at doing the whole netgear wizard thing, and 3 - most importantly I think, I have a cable internet connection. It appears to operate differently with the router. That's what I think anyway and you tech gurus out there may have a simple answer to that, but I changed my router settings to automaticaly locate the IP and I changed the connection rule to NOT use a password when connecting to the internet. I then changed all my IE settings to delete the password and user name requirements. Call it a fluke and it may not work for you guys but when I made these settings, I was never so happy to see google appear from the abyss on my desktop.

I notice that so many people are having the same symptoms but I agree with ruslan124 that there may be multiple reasons for this occuring. Check the settings for your router and your browser too.

Tried malwarebytes,spybot,superantispyware, Threarfire, and all the rest no detection of a virus.

Hey,i have the same problem abut the internet issue ,wi-fi is connected but no internet accessble or site is not open.

Reason:- I hope some times Router not resolve the DNS name thru Wi-fi mode so put the manual entyr of DNS in Wi-fi Lan Properties and after that internet running properly withoout any error.

Try going to the control panel then network connections then properties then tcp/ip's properties then change the ip to automatically.
Restart the system and try to connect the internet.
Good luck!

Hey, This was the same problem that I had, and I fixed it before even reading this but this was the same fix to my problem. If you go into router set up it tells you all of the information about your router. Then you need to log into your router and make sure that the dns adresses are the same. Mine were not, so I changed them and bang im back on. Hope this helps!!

i cant login to the router cause I have no internet what do I do?

try disabling any antivirus programs you may have running and then try again to connect. make sure your tcp/ip/dns settings are set to obtain automatically

I had a problem connecting until I retyped in my Network Key. All is fine now

If you have a security password on your wireless, it might be stopping you from entering, even if it says connected, you have to change the security (WPA Personal)
Mine recently went down, and after fiddling with the security thing, I changed the settings for security to WPA personal, typed in the passcode and it now works
To do this, go on wireless, right click on the network you're connecting to and press properties, you should be able to change it

i have a linksys and still have the issue. hahhaah. ironic, yes.
