[QUOTE="chscag, post: 895103, member: 46727"] Your son's MacBook is probably set to automatically look for and connect to the school's network. Open System Preferences, Network. Next to "Network Name" the name of your network should appear (that is if you're broadcasting the SSID). It should appear as a secured network (small lock next to name). Click on it and supply the correct password. If you've done all this and the "join" is unavailable (grayed out), then try this: Go into the setup menu of your D-Link router, bring up the wireless menu and turn all security off temporarily. Go back into the Mac and try to connect again. Post back results. One note: Make sure one of your networked PC machines is hooked to the router via ethernet so you can control the D-Link without losing connection. Regards. [/QUOTE]
