[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1808177, member: 46727"] This tells me that your Spectrum Arris router-modem is not recognizing the Macs for WiFi. Since ethernet works, it has to be some setting that your Macs are using that is keeping you from connecting WiFi to the Arris. If other WiFi access points can be reached and connected to by your Macs, you've pretty much narrowed the problem down. Now, like a good detective you need to find the culprit. One thing.... Make sure both of your Macs are using WPA-2 and not WEP for WiFi encryption. There is no way that the Arris will recognize or use WEP. You can test the Arris by going into its internal firmware menu and turn off all encryption to see if your Macs will then connect. Of course, do not do any computing with no encryption. [/QUOTE]
