[QUOTE="fiveightandten, post: 378273, member: 24555"] FWIW, I have a Belkin Wireless G router and I didn't to set it up with the CD. If the router is already set up, you just need to connect to it via Airport (your Mac's wireless system). In the menu bar you'll see the little Airport logo...click on that and connect to your network. It will prompt you for the WEP key, assuming you have one set up, and you should be all set. One thing I will mention though, is that I had a TON of problems with my Belkin Wireless G dropping the connection...*only* while the Mac was connected (the PC worked great). I tried a whole bunch of things to get it to keep a stable connection and was stumped. The router was set up on my PC, so on a whim, I did a factory re-set on it, and re-set it from the Mac. For some reason that did the trick and it's worked flawlessly ever since. However...now it will drop connection often when it's hooked up to the PC! This doesn't bother me too much as I use the Mac 99.9% of the time. But I just figured i'd mention it in case you have any connection issues, or issues with it dropping connection. Also...for reference, the URL for Belkin router setup is: [url]http://192.168.2.1/[/url] Type that into your web broswer and you should be able to set up your wireless security and wireless setting for the router. -Nick [/QUOTE]
