My MacBook, 13", aluminum, late 2008, running OS X v 10.7.5

Why did my above MacBook cease connecting to the internet automatically, as it had for years, when we had some modem problems, but fixed the original modem, a 2WIRE, with the same password and how do I correct the problem?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5), using time machine & a 2wire modem

When you change major network components, reset the wireless as well.. clear out all the old names, and start over.

Using old SSID and password for a new router is actually bad.. wireless connections record things like MAC address which is not the same.

See Tesserax article as the problem is common enough.
