Asked by Anonymous - Mac wont connect to wifi router: Everything else connect fine to my router including my iphone and windows computer, however my mac wont connect to the same exact network name and keeps saying it requires WPA2 password.  The password is correct, I checked it a dozen times and as I stated its the same as I use for other wifi that connects to the same router no problem at all.

Anonymous Says: I finally got it to connect.  Not really sure how but I shut my router off and turned it back on, turned off my mac and turned it back on, and it asked for the wifi WPA2 password again and now it connected fine.  I guess if you are getting this problem just start shutting off and rebooting everything because something got messed up in the settings obviously and no matter what I tried it wouldnt connect until now.

Anonymous Says: I noticed on older routers (I had my router about 10 years), my Mac always had trouble connecting.  I figured that was normal until I got a new router, and realized that it immediately connects everytime to the new router.  I'm guessing the technology was just old, so after a while its makes sense to update your router or maybe it was just the firmware update would help also.

Anonymous Says: it wasnt just the mac that never connected to the old router on first try, my iphone usually took several tries to connect with wifi also, that problem disappeared when I got the new router.  My old router was also a china company (ugh), I dont trust the security on that and I probably should have moved on much earlier when I realizedt hat, but I had to search company names on my new router to make sure it wasnt a china company.
