Hi all, this is a new message from a new user.  I recently purchased the dir-632 and am having trouble getting my Apple Powerbook G4 to join the airport network.  I get this message, you may have entered an incorrect password, (I know that I have not), network name (I know this is correct), chosen the wrong type of wireless security (here I think is my problem) or may be out of range of the base station, (impossible as I am 10 feet away, and my PC's all work in the same range).

My settings are      DHCP client
cable status          Connected
network status      connected
801.11 mode         11bgn

I get a good strong signal from the airport but get a status connected to network and getting status message at the bottom, but the signal changes to not associated with any network every 30 seconds or so.  this just cycles between the two mesages.  the signal does not maintain a connection.  Are there any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?  or does anyone have a fix I can try?  Thanks for your help.

Try setting the WiFi mode to Single mode G and test it out.
Whats the Highest mode that the the G4 will do G or N? I presume G.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately, it did not work.  I believe the fault lies with me, when I originally installed the network on the G4, I inadvertently put wireless security as WEP personal and not password.  I think I am going to have to change the name to fix the problem, because every time I link to the original name, the wireless security links to WEP personal and I can't change it. 

If that works, I will post a message to that effect.

Again, thanks for the suggestion.

Can you use WPA security? That is preferred.
