Trouble Keeping Connection on Buffalo Router

Yeah, it is definitely checked. It has the wireless network name (a bunch of letters and numbers) is listed but it still has problems connecting when I am actually within range of the router. Why? I do not know. I have never had a problem like this. It also says this is a "WPA2 Enterprise" under the "Security" setting. And I think this Buffalo Router has some sort of "mixed-mode" where it switches between a WPA and WPA2 security settings. I'm not sure.

I hope we can solve this problem soon, it is pretty annoying. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the advice. The problem is, I believe, that there is a "glitch" or an incompatibility in the Router type or the way it does things that is the real cause for me to not be able to connect automatically. I should clarify and say that I can connect to the internet through the router, but only when I input a ridiculously long password pretty much everytime... actually today, it almost worked automatically for the first time. Where it usually says "An error has occurred when trying to connect to '001D7312FCD0' please check your network settings;" the computer pulled up Keychain Access and requested that I confirm that I wanted to connect to the internet through that network's name and that Keychain could use the secret password. I wanted to save the settings in the Network settings of System Preferences because it was the first time the computer had worked on its own to connect to the internet, but then it subsequently lost connection....

Now, it is back to doing the same old thing: showing the wireless network is there and requires a password (lock-icon), but when I click on it, the computer gives me an "error" message. This is what leads me to believe that we have a somewhat rare router recognition problem because the wireless *_actually works_* but not automatically like it should and only when I input the super-long password in Network Diagnostics. -> I pulled this password from the Router while I was using another Windows computer in the office that uses the Buffalo Router to connect to the internet; I went into Router's security information while I was inside Router's configuration settings.

I'm not sure but maybe upgrading to Snow Leopard might solve this weird Airport connection problem? Anyway, I'll keep trying.

I think Buffalo Routers and the Macbook Airport Card are somehow incompatible. I can't input even the cipher key anymore to get the connection to work. It comes up with an error EVERY TIME I try to join. I have never experienced this problem before with any other Router or Wireless connection. Please tell Apple to look into this issue with Buffalo.
