[QUOTE="vdubbeet, post: 1403168, member: 251932"] I have a Mac Mini which had a working Airport WiFi internal adapter. A couple weeks ago it decided to work intermittently, Took it to the Genius Bar at the closest Apple Store and they recommended replacing the Airport. My Mini's not new but I really wanted to find a simpler, more cost effective route. My system specs are: Model Name: Mac mini Model Identifier: Macmini2,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 2 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz Boot ROM Version: MM21.009A.B00 SMC Version (system): 1.19f2 Snow Leopard v 10.68 I purchased an AddLogix 802.11bgn Wireless Adapter N150 via Amazon and went through video supplied here: [url=http://is.gd/3lnWTu]802.11bgn Wireless Adapter N150[/url] didn't appear to be too difficult to install I was incorrect. Here's how I'm connected to the Net: Cox.net Motorola SB5101 cable modem Apple Air Port Extreme A1034 trying to wirelessly connect back to Airport Extreme is fine but unable to go to the Net. I realize the IP address of the Airport is 10.0.1.1 which should be entered in the DNS Server section however, I'm not sure what IP address address I should use to connect to the Internet. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I can connect to the Airport Extreme but not to the Internet. Something tells me I need a IP address that's provided by Cox which from what I can tell is a 68.x.x.x but not sure exactly what I need to enter. Thanks in advance for your assistance. [/QUOTE]
