Hey guys, this 2007 Model A1186 machine running 10.7.5 works fine with wired net connection but not connecting to my network which my other pc's have no issues. What is showing when I try to join my network is:
The wifi network requires a WPA2 password
closest I am finding on the net is this:

but nothing showing "Airport" in the left pane, any ideas please?
The original A1186 models (all 2006 thru 2008 models) of Mac Pro silver tower had a Wi-Fi card Option. It was not necessarily installed on every Mac sold. to check if yours has the card, use:
menu > About this Mac > (System report) > ... Wi-Fi is in the second group under Network heading
You should see (after a palpable delay) a display that shows if you have a Wi-Fi card, and what channels it supports.
You can buy a replacement card from the usual suspects. Installation is tricky because the parts are very small and the antenna wires (already present in your mac) are fiddly.
Installing the wrong card may preclude certain system updates in the future (possibly because your Mac does not seem like a "real" Mac.).
Thx, did so but still seeing my 3 fios networks showing in the "None of your preferred networks are available" window.
