Okay, so I'm new to this forum and just bought my Macbook a little less than a year ago. My modem that I have isn't compatible with my Mac. I've talked to various different tech support people and the guy at Apple told me that my Macbook was too advanced for my modem, therefore I can't use my airport to connect wireless. I purchased a wireless USB by Dynex about two years ago for my PC and I was trying to see if I could use it on my Macbook.
I found this site and followed the directions: http://torley.com/how-i-got-my-wireless-g-usb-adapter-working-with-a-mac
Now, everything seemed to be working except that when I got to this phase, my router number isn't showing:
And when I look at my Network Status I get this:
I've tried entering everything in manually, and I get the same thing. When I check my USB Wireless Utility, it's showing that I have a great signal and link quality. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if my wireless USB just isn't compatible or if my modem really is a piece of crap. I was trying to see if this would work before I have to go out and buy a new router or wireless usb drive.
Any suggestions would be great!
