[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1938677, member: 110816"] If you are connecting your iMac to your new router over a cable, disconnect it. If you are connecting over WiFi, check the SSID of the network. If cable connection, then plug into the Apple Extreme once it's connected to the broadband router to check connectivity. If using WiFi, then set up the Airport Extreme with a different SSID than your current network, and connect to it to test connectivity. In the end, if the router was working very recently until you switched, there's no reason to believe that it isn't still working. My only suggestion is that this router doesn't support the latest WiFi speeds, or more importantly, the latest WiFi security standards. So folks should always educate themselves and not use old technology to protect themselves. Generally, folks seem to be pretty smart about protecting themselves on public WiFi's with VPN and what not, but they implicitly trust their home network and don't add any additional layers. I had this router myself before I upgraded my system, and I recycled my set since I felt it was irresponsible to have someone else use this router. [/QUOTE]
