[QUOTE="Quietone, post: 1533473, member: 299083"] I have a different brand of router, had netgear for my pc, worked well, had a disc that helped me set it up but this one is better, newer. Now I want to get a secure wireless on my Mac, too, new modem has a router in it, I discovered. When I had the wireless working, I saw an available network with some guy's name on it, but want to set up my own, not be on some stranger's signal. I looked up some info, said something about setting it up through the Airport App, I took a peek there, but I don't know what I'm doing, so I did nothing. It said I need to put in some info, wasn't sure exactly what, besides giving the location a name; an IP address, that I can find easily enough. Have to re-read instructions again, there was something else it wants, but I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly, there's different options, bluetooth too, which I know nothing about, have to look up info on that also. This is still very new to me; I'll look the info up again but would like some advice if anyone can guide me. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
