Ever since I got my MacMIni I've had to remove the 128bit hex secuity password from my network to enable the Mac to connect. I've just bought a new router, and would like to reinstate a secured network. I can get the Mac to connect, but only manually...i.e. by clicking the Airport icon at the desktop and selecting the network name. What I really want is for the connection to start automatically when the Mac starts up, but no matter what settings I change, the Internet Connection dialogue lists my network as the defaiult, the networking dialogue has my network as the one to automatically conect to, but it still won't do it automatically at startup, as it used to with the 128bit security password. I've tried using the Airport assist me but it always lists my password as invalid because there's no setting on that to change the password type to 128bit hex. Can anyone help me??
