Can anyone help me fix this before I return the dongle to the shop and very angrily demand a refund. I am reporting them to ofcom for this anyway, it's totally unacceptable!
The connection is great, I get a really great signal here so otherwise I am very happy with it, the trouble is though I would actually like the option to use a spuer fast wifi hotspot as well sometimes!
So there I was yesterday at my local hotspot, switched on my mac- no signal. Why no signal??? NO AIRPORT!
The software it installed asked for my system password and has taken upon itself to delete my airport and probably all the settings that went with it!
Played around with it for a while. reinstalled Airport as Airport 2 then 3 and so on, and each time the software deleted it. So I installed it and locked the system preferences so no further changes could take place, and that worked in so far as it picked up the router, only every attempt to connect to the router ended in failure. Tried also locking the software but I can't even do that.
I am really angry about this as I just spent some time re-installing the OS from scratch and sorting everything out, only to have their third party software take over my settings and screw everything up!
I am OS 10.5.8 can anyone help with fix this?
