[QUOTE="chscag, post: 911535, member: 46727"] Try this: Go into your router's setup menu (check your manual to learn how) and copy down the settings it's using. Broadcast channel, DNS addresses, SSID, and so forth. Next... Reset the router to factory default. Usually this is done by pushing in a small reset button either on the back or bottom of the unit. Use a straightened out paper clip. Resetting will clear the old password and information. (Make sure you have an ethernet cable attached when doing this.) Go back into the router and enter your settings but leave security open for the time being. (no security) Now try to open System Preferences and see if you can enter information and also connect wirelessly. If everything is OK, go back into the router and setup security. Be sure to go back to System Preferences and do likewise. If System Preferences still won't let you in, you may have to delete the connection entirely and start over. Regards. [/QUOTE]
