I'm not convinced the problem is the firmware. A lot of MacBook Pro users have posted complaints about this issue on the Apple discussions forum. You might try the solutions suggested in this post. (Note that number 4 will cause you to lose all your network settings.) Are you using OS X 10.5 or 10.6? Most users' problems seem to be with 10.5.

I've tried some fixes from the Apple forums before coming here but none helped. I'll read the suggested post and try again. I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4.

I'll also try to update the firmware through the emergency room.

Note that my wireless is working perfectly with other routers.

Some users on the dd-wrt forum have reported trouble flashing dd-wrt firmware with Macs. One recommended borrowing a Windows PC to do it with Internet Explorer. I had no problem flashing it with my Mac, though.

Hello fellows,

It's been a long time and I come with good — although ashaming — news.
I just managed to get the router working with my MacBook Pro by adding the wireless card MAC Address to the whitelist. I had only the wired card MAC Address in the list.

Anyways, I'm inclined not to consider this as a complete failure of my part (lol) because when I tried to connect without filtering or any security options, it didn't work.

Thanks for all your attention and support. I'm a happy wireless user now.
