wifi log shows airport entries but I have no airport I replaced my Airport with a Netgear AP over a year ago. Just out of curiosity, I looked at my WiFi log file and I found lots of entries similar to these: Sun Apr 10 09:39:23.311 Info: <airport[37773]> TRIMMED QUERY SCAN CACHE request received from pid 158 (locationd) Sun Apr 10 09:39:23.312 Info: <airport[37773]> -[CWXPCSubsystem Does this mean my MBP is still looking for a nonexistent AirPort? How can I stop this? Walt

MAC Address filtering is NOT enabled on your AirPort router.....unless.....you set up individual detailed "rules" for wireless devices that specified the times in which each device would be allowed to connect to the network.

In other words, if you did this, you would know it. Did you do this?
