thought mac came with wifi!

Q: Hmmm another wifi issue...

Rite...

 

I wanted to help out my dad setting up his WIFI router with a security password so no unwanted people would use his connection...

I used his MacBook Pro to do this through a LAN cable like Belkin (router brand) recomented- and it worked- I tried it out with my Ipad Iphone and windows pc- they all found the WIFI connection and was asked to type in password when wanting to log on the connection... mission was a success so far!

Then I tried to log onto the router via WIFI from his MacBook Pro.. the computer I used to set it all up with- and rite up came a box saying "connection timeout"!

 

My question now is... what have I done wrong? why does it keep doing that when every other device logs on without any problems!! it worked before the password was set up, I wanna add- and it sees all the naighbours connections and logs on just fine to theirs- its only mine it dont want to go on... i find it very weird!!!!

 

Please can anyone help me???

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
