Hi all
Newbie here - go easy
Here is my issue
Got an early 2007 Macbook and a Sagem made Sky wifi router - had it up and running fine for the past year - recently moved house and had to wait an age for the phone line to be activated.
This has now happened and plugged in router. Settings remain unchanged, smartphone connects fine, missus' phone and new laptop connect fine. Macbook won't. Airport Utility shows an amber light and picks up and drops out the router. When it does recognise it, it asks me to enter the passcode (which is saved in the type box) and when I click confirm/connect it 'connection timeout's - tried doing the dollar symbol before the password as I had to when connecting at my parents house but not working in this case.
Tried pin resetting - tried unplugging and rebooting - nothing working - tried removing the saved details for the router within airport.
Anyone had this and resolved? What causes the amber light in airport utility? Downloaded all current apple updates on auto update. When I search on google only seems to give topics for airport express.
Doing my head in! any help greatly appreciated
Currently connected up with an ethernet cable so router is linked fine in that sense.
Thanks
