Hi Guys,
Firstly Hello, and it seems I have found a very nice forum.
I wonder if anyone can help!?
I am in Austria and just got a Thomson 585 wireless router.
I have a white macbook.
I setup the router and passwords etc. with details from my provider, and all works fine. BUT only with the ethernet cable.
Works fine with the cable plugged in, but once I try connecting via wireless from the mac, the connection fails.
I tried changing all the settings on the router via the setting on the box (channel, encryption or not, standard etc.) But nothing seems to get it to work. The router shows that the wireless is working and the light also stays solid green once I put a password in. But even without a pw, it doesn't connect.
Very frustrating.
Maybe the router needed to be setup with a windows machine?!
Anyone have any ideas/tips on how to get the wireless working?
There should be a trick for the Mac/thomson wireless combo?
Thanks in advance for any help.
