Can't see linksys router

if you are connected to the router with a wire at the SAME time you are trying to connect via wi-fi there may be a problem. i encounterd some problems with that using a d-link router. i could see the router but i could not get on the internet. un-plug from the router. then in system prefs under network check to make sure your airport inst looking for a known server. or a secure server. i forget off the top of my head where these settings are (and exactly what they say) but i dont have a mac infront of me right now to tell you.

 

Directly connect and go the the LinkSys homepage and download the LATEST drivers/Firmware for this model.

With Airport Express, Macs have trouble with this model. I updated the firmware and it was all foxed.

 

last time i checked linksys didnt support macs officially. Out of curiousity, why not just go for belkin or dlink that DO support macs.
For one reason that you can call them and ask questions.

 

ok, are you sure you have the transmitter enabled? i dunno about that particular model, but usually you can enable and disable the radio transmitter. i think that is your problem.

 

For what it's worth, I'm running a Linksys WRT45G in conjunction with a Linksys cable router (non-wireless), and I am able to connect with both my Laptop (Airport) and iMac (Airport Express). I'm not at home so I can't quote firmware levels, but it started out of the box. So at least it's workable.

The only other thing I can think of is that sometimes other devices will interfere with the settings. I had a wireless phone next to my Mac one day and couldn't get a signal. Move the phone, get a signal.
