Macbook can find every network except my own (iPhone,PC and other device can)

I used to have long hair, but now it's short from me trying to wrap my head around this problem..


My new Macbook Pro have decided to ignore my router and it's driving me nuts!
My iPhone 3gs, PC, Xbox360, 3DS, Printer and Wii are all connected to the router.

The Macbook Pro could earlier connect, but than it suddenly decided that no matter what name, visable or non-visable, password protection or no passward-at-all, or any setting at the router I can possebly try, nothing works, every device EXEPT the bloody fricking Macbook can find and connect.


I hade a friend over to have him try with his own Macbook Pro, AND IT FRICKING finds,connects and the whole deal...

What is wrong with my Macbook and what should I do to fix it?


PS. It connects to the network i have set up at both my mother, father and friends... It ONLY ignores my own home router, that it has been connected to most before....


In dire need of advice

if you know your network name select your wifi symbol on the top right hand side of your screen and select join other network enter the name and password you should be golden if not try SMC reset if that doesnt do it reset router if that doesn't do it create another user and try to connect to router then if that doesnt do it the try a freash install if that doesnt do it then you are in TROUBLE!!!!!😢

hmm....


I seem to have solved it by deleating my saved networkkeys, deleating com.apple.softwareupdate.plsit, restarted router and laptop after every action I tried and finaly connect to another randome unknown open network close to my bulding, And like magic my router name suddenly appeard in the network list....


Somehow I don't feel satisfied with this "solution".... -.-"

...

Well, when the problem returns, I will return... ^^"


Thanks For all the help 🙂
