[QUOTE="olad, post: 918014, member: 124476"] [b]Snow Leopard WiFi problems (new, unsolved)[/b] I came here in desperation, and I apologise if I am a bit long-winded about it. I was asked by a friend to install on her MacBook the new Snow Leopard she had just bought. Since I had recently updated my partner's MBP from 10.5 to 10.6.1, I thought it would be easy (her OSX was 10.4.9 or something like that). The long and short of it is that the installation went well (very easy, I wish Windows updates were that easy), BUT Airport will not connect to ANY network. I have tried just about every solution suggested on the web - delete the profile, delete some .plist files, reinstall network, ensured that WPA Personal password that works on the MBP is the same, checked System Preferences/Network over and over again, used the Assist Me (says password invalid), and now at my wits' end (inclined to write 'wit' because I don't seem to have any). The Time Machine is not on, so cannot roll back to OSX 10.4... The owner of the machine seems to think it my fault despite my assuring her that I did nothing more than insert a disk and follow instructions. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with Snow Leopard and WiFi? The Airport card is an Atheros a/b/g/n Firmware 5416: 2.0.19.4... (no country code, funny), Status - Not associated. My wireless router is a Netgear that connects without problems to the MBP and PBG4 - and two Windows 7 RC notebooks... The notebook has been upgraded to 10.6.1. I am desperate to hand the MB back to the owner - with Airport Extreme working! This, and the problem that I cannot see my Windows machine on ANY of the Macs are the only things dimming my pleasure in using Macs. I am sure that, with time, I will solve those problems. But the Airport Extreme problem first! Thank you all.. (and apologies for not Reading the Whole Forum first) Olad (Kumasi, Ghana) [/QUOTE]
