Just booted up for the first time and can't connect to the internet. Airport keeps scanning and sees my network but I can't connect? suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

Ok, for starters I know Apple recommends WPA so if that is available you might try that.. have you used this router with other Apple laptops before?
Is there a specific error you are getting? Timed out? Invalid Password? Or just cannot connect?
I'd start troubleshooting by temp. disabling security, see if it can connect then. If you manage that, you know it's a security issue. If you don't, then you'll have to look elsewhere. But I would start there - if it works with WEP disabled, try WPA.

whoa~ seems to me alot of people are having airport problems with the new penryn mbp. Hope it gets addressed with an update.
Yeah, I had trouble at first too but turned out to be router firmware rather than the MBP. Just about pulled my hair out figuring out the problem though 
Hard to tell if it's an Apple issue or just a configuration issue at this point - I bet there are tons of people who didn't have trouble.
