I had to get a new wifi and apparently it messed everything up. No mater what AT&T and it's installers do, they can't make my Macbook connect to Wifi. This (attached screenshot) is what comes up.

I am able to connect my iPad and iPhone to the wifi, but not my laptop. HELP!!!!

The Network preference pane for WiFi should look like this:
