[QUOTE="ukchucktown, post: 1149688, member: 129039"] You mentioned in a previous post that your laptop is not connecting to any wireless network. That definitely points to a problem with your Mac, not the router. I doubt this is a router problem. Two questions: 1. Did you try connecting the Mac to the router with a cable and test the Internet connectivity? 2. Did you delete the Airport entry in System Preferences and recreate it? If you did (1) and Internet was good then your network setup is probably okay and you can proceed to step (2). If you have not tried (2) then do it and report your results. If you did (2) and the problem persists I'd start considering a potential hardware problem mainly because you are having connectivity issues everywhere, not just at home. Sometimes a self-assigned IP can come from wireless interference so you can try changing the wireless channel on your router. That might help but I doubt it. I'd also disable WEP if possible. I'd keep the security off until I connected again. [/QUOTE]
