Wireless Internet
Hi all,
I purchased my new iMac two days ago and currently using the internet via an ethernet cable plugged into my Netgear router. However, I would prefer to use the built in wirless connection.
When I went to set up the connection AirPort detected my router but was I was unable to connect as it required a password. I assumed this was the WEP key I was using, but when typed in it came up as 'Password Invalid'. I do not recall setting up any other password on my network. I then disabled the WEP security feature and was able to get on the internet (wirelessly) fine.
I know the wireless connection works through the WEP key as a laptop and a PC are also on my network.
Any help on how to get my iMac working through the WEP key would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Justin
