Hey there, my first post here so don't be mean if I'm being dumb
I got my first Mac recently, the 17" Unibody Macbook Pro (Late 2008 model), and I've been having a few problems with Airport Extreme. For most networks, airport works just as well as my old Windows laptop, but it seems to really not like our WNR2000. Normally it works fine, DHCP assigns me an IP and everything is great! As soon as I go to University and try to connect it to the wireless network there (which is awful, and normally doesn't work), then come back home and try to connect to our Wi-Fi, it simply won't do it. It refuses to get an IP address from the router, and even when setting the IP/Subnet/Router IP manually, it just won't work. I wind up with some self-assigned IP which is entirely wrong and it seems like it's just not talking to the router at all! The only way for me to fix this is to reboot the router, and then it works absolutely fine!
It's starting to drive me mad having to reboot our router all the time, and I've never had this problem with any other machine. I have tried fiddling with all the network settings I can find, but nothing seems to make any difference.
Is there something I am doing wrong, or something you could advise me to do? Or are OS X systems just not great at finding routers on a network sometimes?
Cheers in advance
