R7000P Nighthawk
My MacBook Air shows connected to WiFi but will not connect to internet. It worked fine till about two weeks ago. iPhones, Dell computer, Sony TV, still connect to the internet through the nighthawk. Have tried the MacBook Air with other WiFi systems, works fine. Tried it on a different model Netgear router, did the same thing. Showed connected to WiFi, but will not connect to the internet.

One that was not in your home did connect?
Could your security suite be stopping you? Doesn't 'trust' your network?
