Hi,

I just got an airport extreme card and installed it in my Power Mac G5 which is running leopard.

Im trying to connect to my Linksys router downstairs which is password protected. The airport sees the wireless network but when I try and connect and insert the password i get a 'connection timeout' message.

I tried to use the assistant also but when it come to inserting the password its says the password is incorrect even though it definitly is correct..

Im relatively new to Mac so please excuse the lack of knowledge.

cheers

Are you using WEP on the router? Try changing it to WPA or WPA2 if available.

Ive scrapped the airport express and bought an airport extreme card but would you believe im having the same 'connection timeout' problem when I try and connect to my wireless router.. It asks me for the network password (tried WEP and WPA) but it always says 'connection timeout' or 'invalid password' even though the password is definitly correct.

Im totally fed up at this stage connecting a cpu to wireless broadband should not be this difficult. This is my first encounter with Mac and probably my last.
