Erm, well the ip settings for wifi and the ip settings for a wired connection are different, so the fact that one works and one doesn't means nothing. Well, it means that his router is getting an internet connection and his network settings for the ether net service are set properly.

Now, have him cable into his router and turn off wireless security, then try to get a wireless connection. Do not turn on security in the router until you have successfully established a wireless connection without security. Make sure your guy is checking the tcp/ip settings for air port, not ethernet since he is trying to get a wireless connection.

Best,

Erik

Hi Erik.

When he plug in a network cable, it works fine. So I think his IP settings are set correctly. He says he is entering the right key for his wireless networ. I have no ideas about what to do!!!

No, it definitely supports g standards. I'm on 54g here and it works just fine. 11g is very slow, but you should get a connection. The real puzzle for me is, why is some one using the oldest slowest standard in the book?

Naturally you won't find it in the promos that apple supports 11g. They want you to know they support n because that's the newest fastest thing. It should be in the tech specks in your manual though.

Is the computer set up for the right ip configuration? I'm sure you've thought about that already, but the only reason I can think of why this wouldn't work is that your ip settings are not right.

Did you try removing wpa? Try connecting without any security. If you get joy, re-add the security and see if it fles. If not, then you'll know it's a security issue.

Hi.

Are you sure that the Apple supports 11 g? My friends router supports 11 g, and the settings are set to wpa, but he still got a timeout... I have searched on Google, and it seems as apple only supports the n.

Hi, 11g is a bit old and slow isn't it? He should properly be on 54g but could also be on the n standard. I don't see why the macbook wouldn't support 11g, but I don't see what the benefit of using it is either.

Hi.

One of my friends have just bought a Mac. He have a new router which only supports 802 11 g. When he try to log on his wireless network, he got a timeout. We have been through all network settings, but we can't find any settings to fix the problem. Does the Mac not support 802 11 g? He have the newest Mac Book.
