[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 536831, member: 24098"] Perfect. Click on the network name from the Airport menu. It should then detect the type of security and ask you for your password. Check the type of security it detected, if it didn't detect it properly, switch it manually over to WPA2-PSK. Then, enter your password. If this doesn't work, it might be because your router is set up for MAC filtering([B]M[/B]edia [B]A[/B]ccess [B]C[/B]ontrol, not Macintosh) . This is a security setting whomever initially configured the router has set up. If this is the case, you'll want to either disable it or add your Mac's MAC address to the list. You can find your MAC address by opening Network Utility (Applications => Utilities folder) and selecting Network Interface (en1). The address is a 12 digit alpha-numeric address (labeled as "hardware address"). If you're not sure how to do this, either check your router's manual or contact Netgear tech support, since it varies from model to model. [/QUOTE]
