Macbook and Netgear Router problems
hi there-
i've just got my first mac on friday and i'm trying to connect to the internet in my house. i can connect using the ethernet cable (hence how i can write this post), but i can't connect to the wireless network.
the router is a netgear dg834g (v4), and my provider is virgin broadband. i've already tried resetting the router, and changing the wireless account and password. if i turn on the airport, it can see my network, and i can enter the password, but then it tries to connect but times out. this is as far as i can get- it's literally the last phase of the process that just won't work! i've tried to call virgin, but they're a bit clueless. i've read a lot online about problems with macbooks and the netgear router, but so far i haven't come across a solution.
any help greatly appreciated!
