Hi,
hope you can help me with my issue.
I did search for similar problem but could not match them with mine.
Until last week, Airport was working perfectly but for the last few days, I do receive full signal but can not connect to the internet.
My airport is connected to a LAN and I have not changed any settings at all.
To try to resolve the problem, I did try to reset the base station and follow the install procedure again...it seems that the base station is well set up but I am sure I am missing a piece to complete the installation,
Your help would be highly appreciated
Thanks

Have you tried contacting your ISP to see if they have any problems? Are you on a network that requires certain proxy settings? Have you recently installed any software that might affect the network or your network settings?

Try some of these out and then give us some results so we can move forward and help ya out.

Even though you didn't change the settings. When you reset the base station, it's settings were reset. So check everything once more.

On the computer, is it set to use DHCP in the Airport tab?

Is the base station set to distribute IP addresses?

Are you plugging the network cable into the correct port on the base station?

Unplug the power to the modem and ABS. Connect everything properly. After leaving both unplugged for about a minute, power the modem back up. Wait for it to acquire an IP and finish its initialization, watch the lights. Then turn on the ABS and try to connect.
