I am unable to connect to my home wireless internet using my MacBook Pro. I am not the most computer savvy person and my kids are off to college, so now I am helpless. But here is what I know:

  • My iPad, iPhone, and PC work perfectly.
  • Network is detected by my Mac "5WIRE525".
  • I checked the Proxy settings and none are checked.
  • Using Assistant, "airport" setting shows green light.
  • I have tried changing the type from WEP, WAP, WAP2, etc. none work.
  • After selecting my network, I am promted to enter my password, after this step I get a message indicating that I have entered the wrong password, or network is not working (again, my other devices work fine).
  • After checking and reseting options, I take my Mac back to Starbucks and other public places and it works perfectly.

Are you absolutely certain that you are typing in the password correctly? Sometimes it helps to type it out somewhere you can see it (in a blank textedit document, perhaps), then copy and paste it into the password field. – Chris Herbert Oct 25 '12 at 0:55
