MBP 2.4 penyryn no upgrade, no need.
my wireless works great when connecting to any open Wlans i can think off except the my home one.
The thing is live in a rented apartment, and get my internet through the Access point. The AP is not in my power to configure, because the landlord had bad experience with previous tenants. So he has the AP hidden and locked, unless i gave him a mac address of a notebook, ad he kindly reconfigures the router.
Before i got the MBP, i tried the wireless with my iPhone and it still works like a charm.
After I got the MBP, i got him my MBP AIRPORT ID, which i found on the system preference, airport, advanced....
I am sure i didnt give hime the Ethernet one.
He configured the AP and it dont work.
What could be the problem. I checked the mac address, he rechecked the configurations...
I cannot log to AP wiht the MBP through airport.
Since the AP is also a LAN router, i can use the internet but on the wire.
I also borrowed friends BAse station, worked through that, just not directly through Wlan from my MBP to AP.
again, the iPhone works great. Always had. Never had to configure it, not a thing.
Does anybody have any clue? Is there something i had to click or configure inside the Airport regarding the wireless of the Access Point i want to use. I dont have access to the AP itself, so i can only infulence the MBP side of the WLAN.
any ideas?
TIA, matt
