I have a MacBook Pro 15' inch (Late 2011), 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB of RAM running on OS Mountian Lion. I am trying to connect to my Wi-Fi but my MacBook wouldn't detect it, but my other devices my iPhone 5 and iPad 4 detect it without diffuculties.
So when you click on the Airport icon in the menu bar your network doesn't appear?

Yes! It won't show :/
Reboot your router.
What do you see when you click on the WiFi icon on the top of the screen? Does it say 'Looking for Networks ...'? Do you see other networks in your vicinity?
Yes, it does say "Looking for Networks" and it shows other networks..but not mine, it shows on my other devices but not on my MacBook Pro.
I tried rebooting but still its same thing :/
Are you connected wirelessly directly via the router?
Do this with your router at home. Connect to the router's IP address via Ethernet cable. You can get this from the router's manual (check also for the initial username and password to access the site). Go to the wireless setup from here, and change the name to something that you can recognise. Make sure that it is password protected. Save it so that it'll write itself to its flash memory (your network will briefly not work). Once this is done, open network preferences on your MBP and search for thisNEW network using WiFi (not your Ethernet connection). Select it and lock it. Disconnect the Ethernet cable, shut down / or put it to sleep, then restart and see if it works.
it was a long process...nothing happened, it did connect via ethernet but not wifi! :/
Is it working now?
My Macbook Pro ins't detecting my Wi-Fi network!
