Problems with Cisco LinkSys E1200 Wireless Connectivity on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4

Hello,

I'm facing an irritating problem on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 where in I'm not able to connect to my Cisco Linksys E1200 Router wirelessly.

There used to be no problems up until a week ago.

All of a sudden, my OS doesn't even detect my network.

1. I thought maybe it could be a problem with the router itself, but that doesn't seem to be the case as I'm connected on Wireless from iPad, iPhone and other devices.

2. I thought maybe it could be a problem with the Network Card on my Mac. But that's not true either since I have Windows 8 installed on my Mac and it works without any issues.

3. Heck, I even completely formatted my Hard Disk, reinstalled Mac and yup, we are back to square one. Still no signs of Wireless detection on my reinstall either.

4. I face this problem only at home with this LinkSys route. At work, I have no problem in connecting to Wireless.

5. Well, I even upgraded the firmware on my router to the latest available version.

And, I have no idea how to proceed further 😟.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks,

Vishwas

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Right, few more R&D's now and it gets even crazier...

I installed Ubuntu and it has no problem detecting Wifi on My Mac.

The craziest thing though is, when i hold the OPTION key while the system boots, we know that we can connect to Wifi from there, and indeed I was able to do that!!

And, once I select MacintoshHD, it boots but we are back to square one, no wifi detected yet again. If Wifi gets detected though, I'm getting this "Connection Timeout" errors.

Well, I guess I have to just accept that 10.8.4 doesn't just work with the Linksys router!!
