My MacBook Pro Experience - Day 9 - WiFi Update

Minutes before giving Apple Executive Relations a ring reagarding my MacBook WiFi issues I've fixed the problem.  My router was set to be 802.11g only and not mixed b/g.  I made the change and the MacBook just connected.  Odd though given that the MacBook Pro is g-capable.

Anyway, I'm now happy as I don't have to mess around with cables.  :-)
