Below that, it should also show other local networks, ones that are your neighbors'. In your post, it indicates you are using channel 1. Channel and interference kind of go hand-in-hand. Macs prefer security of WPA/WPA2, so if you are using WEP, it may be time to tweak that, and if your girlfriend's computer is running XP Service Pack 2 or later it should work with that higher security as well. When an Apple computer cannot join to a network that other computers can, there are usually 3 factors to consider: 1) depending on the age of the router, is there a firmware update? 2) what is the security/channel of the network? 3) could anything be causing interference? Visit Thomson's website, plug in the model number and you should be able to find out how to access the router's configuration and determine the current/latest version of firmware available for that device. It will not show you anything about a 3rd-party, non-Apple router. I really have no idea what to try and am confused by the whole situation.ĪirPort Utility will only display Apple-AirPort routers. I cannot connect my printer via wireless network either as it doesn't believe that my MacBook is connected to the network. I also include the following details for your information:Ĭard Type:ĚirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x93)įirmware Version:ěroadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.131.36.1) I have attached a screenshot which shows that the AirPort connection is successful but the device cannot be found. I have also noticed that when I run the AirPort Utility, it cannot find any AirPort wireless devices, even when my router is connected to the MacBook via the ethernet cable. My girlfriend's notebook (a MSI Wind U100 with Windows XP Home) has never had any issues connecting to the same network. I have been experiencing problems with my MacBook failing to connect to the wireless network via AirPort.

This is an 802.11b/g wireless LAN access point with integrated ADSL2+ modem.

I am using a Thomson TG585 router to connect to my wireless network. I have had few issues with wireless connectivity in the past, but since moving to a new flat in January I have had no end of problems. I purchased my MacBook 7,1, (Mac OS X 10.6.5) last August. I would appreciate some assistance with some issues I have been having with my MacBook.
