Which wifi wireless network should I use?

Hello I have purchased an Apple laptop. It's offering me a choice of 6 WiFi networks to connect thru. I don't have a clue as to which one to use. Can you please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

I can't get my Mac Airport Express to connect to hotel wifi Ethernet network!

Category: Mac OS X Help

This is so frustrating! I'm staying at a hotel where they only have wired Internet connectivity in my room and a tiny four foot Ethernet cable. Well, I don't want to work on their little desk with my back to the TV. So I always carry an Apple Airport Express, which is great except it can't connect either because it needs to "accept" the hotel's Internet pricing. So what can I do to get a wifi network running for my MacBook Pro?

How do I forget a wireless network on my Mac?

Category: Mac OS X Help

When I first got my Macbook (actually, it's an iBook, I think) I tried to connect to a neighbors wireless network, before I got my own network set up. Problem is, every time I start up my computer, it wants to connect to her wifi network, not my own. How do I fix this?

How do I secure my wireless network connection with WEP or WPA?

I have just set up a wireless connection at home - whenever I log on it says that the connection is unsecure - how do I secure it? I have a new Toshiba Laptop and a Phillips Router. I saw something about a WEP key....where do I enter this?

Does the Sony PSP support 802.11g or WPA security?

I'm not too sure what the differences are, but my brother asked me if the Sony PSP supports 802.11 "b" or "g" and I really don't know. He also asked if it can connect to a WPA-based network, or just a WEP network, and, again, I don't know. Do you?
