Just a quick response to your "Anti-Netgear" attitude. I've had 2 Netgear WIFI's and they both work just fine. When I moved up to a Rangemax, I gave my old one to a friend and he reports no problems. Oh, that was more than 2 years ago. I've worked on other brands at work, but I'm very happy with my Netgear.I highly recvommend them. BTW, when friends and relatives come over with laptops, we have no problems connecting, and some of these people have MAC's. I'm using WPA2 and I always have radio broadcast turned off.

I never succeeded and I was also unable to get my Dell laptop to talk to their wireless router. After fussing with it for over 2 hours, I went to Walmart and bought a WRT54GS2 Linksys wireless (same exact model I have at home) and hooked it up. Instant success. Long story short - if I ever have a job where I can't get the wireless to connect, and the user has a Netgear wireless router, I'm not even going to spend time on it, I'll just tell the client I'm going to go buy a different router that *will* work and get another Linksys. Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone who's looking for a new wireless router.
