Hi Julie, It is likely to be a security password encryption issue. Check whether it is WEP, WPA or WPA2. I'm assuming it is WPA2. Try different options (but not WEP). You may also have to do a firmware update. We had to do that for some Linksys ADSL modems before they would work with Apple wireles.
Might save you a couple of dollars!
