[QUOTE="OnYerBike, post: 1167322, member: 186063"] Hello my macbook (OS 10.5.8) used to work fine with my Broadband (BT) before an update which included an update to the Airport Utility to 5.5.2. Now it is hit an miss as to whether I can even see my network. It seems that it must be connecting on some level because every so often (usually after a restart and wait) it shows the network but does not connect using information on the keychain. After I reenter the password (WEP) toggling between capitals and lowercase, it sometimes connects, then after a while it disconnects. Following this, it won't even recognise the network, it simply does not show up. It is almost as if it has connected but then forgot about it, therefore only showing the other networks. If I manage to get it to show again, without restarting / shutting down and booting up, then it just refuses the password with a connection timeout. My Windows PC can see and connect to this wireless network, as can my mobile phone so it is there, the macbook remains the only device with this problem. Nothing else has changed, only the update. The macbook can still connect to open networks and those using WPA2. If anyone can help then that would be really helpful. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
