You shouldn't need a new Airport, the problem seems to be with
your network settings, with your system holding on to an old setting
that it ought to forget. When you have deleted the old network
and leave the Network settings pane and you are given the option
to apply new settings, are you sure that you are accepting the
"Apply new network settings" option? If that wasn't the problem,
try going to the Advanced Tab of the network settings and deleting
the old network again, only this time uncheck the "Remember any
Network this computer has joined" option first. Then quit the new
network and rejoin it, then go back and recheck that option so you
don't have to type in the network password every time you join it.
Another thing you can try is to go to the Network pane of System
Preferences, and at the top where you see the Location: popup menu,
select Edit locations…, create a new location and use that in place
of the one you are using now.

My mom recently upgraded from Ibook to MacBook, Leopard OS.
Everytime she
wants to use wi-fi , her new computer keeps trying to log on the old
networ=
k
name. She is using a new network, so there is a conflict now. We
tried to
go to the advance mode and delete the old network, but it keeps coming
back. If I get a new Airport express (she was and is using the
Aiport base
station now), the small plug in adapter....will that solve the
problem? Th=
e
problem is, I do not know anything about setting up network....all
she want=
s
to do is use her macbook in the kitchen, and connect via wi-fi.
Does she
need another Airport base station or will an Airport express
work......thanks for helping!
