Please forgive me for butting in again.


My thoughts are:


Unless I have missed it there is no evidence of there ever being any wireless communication between router and Mac. If this is so then either there is a hardware fault or they are not talking to each other.


A few weeks ago I learned the hard way that it is best to test with all security turned off at the router to establish that there is adequate signal strength and there is not a hardware fault. If necessary test at minimum wireless frequency.


The next test should be at minimum security to establish that password protocols work. If difficulties are encountered at this stage it may be worth referring to the whole of my thread and the linked Apple document about joining an encrypted Wi-Fi network.

1 - Has AirPort software version 3.2 or later been installed? The AirPort Extreme Card requires this for WPA. Even with version 3.2 I am not sure that WPA2 will function.


2 - Are the Mac's network settings correct?


3 - Has DHCP been properly setup at both ends?


4 - What is the router type?


Please note that for non-Apple wireless WEP networks the password requires 'double quotes'.
