[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 385483, member: 24160"] Well, you are probably right. Even on Linksys site for the WRT54GL is only lists WEP and 128 bit encryption. Does not list WPA or WPA2. It does list TKIP and AES. Have never used a wireless network prior to getting this MBP and don't know much about it. So, been doing some reading. Correct me if I am wrong here - looks like TKIP is WPA and AES is WPA2. Right? If so even the Linksys rep I talked to didn't know this. My WRT55AG has both of these listed as options under WPA. Maybe you network guys have an idea of what else I might be able to try. I can access the router from my MBP and change it to WPA, either TKIP or AES, reset the MBP and regain access to the router with either one. However, I can get no access to the internet whatsoever under either one. As soon as I change it back to WEP, internet is back. [/QUOTE]
