The homepage is probably popping up because it is cached. Have you played with your wireless router settings?

It's not popping up. It won't show any webpages:confused:
 
To clear your cache click on "Safari" in the menu bar and choose "Empty Cache".

Try turning off the wireless router for about a minute and turning it back on again. Assuming all of the settings on your MB are correct it should be ok.

If not, we need more info to help:

1. What kind of encryption are you using on your wireless router?
2. Do you have MAC address filtering on?
3. Can you see the network name?
