Connecting My Belkin Wireless Router to a MAC?

Connect Belkin Wireless Router to MAC:

Hello Kevin

It's quite possible the older mac hardware doesn't support WPA2 and that they also need an update to their software and drivers (If available)

If your PC is connecting, then there is nothing wrong with your router. You could try changing the encryption on the router to WPA instead of WPA2 and see if the mac devices support that.

WPA is not a huge security risk over WPA2, neither have known working exploits, WPA2 just goes a step further to address some *possible* problems with WPA, but again, nothing that has actually been exploited.

Barring that, try setting your router to WEP encryption (only temporarily) and see if they can connect. If they can, then it is definitely an issue with the mac's implementation of WPA. Do NOT leave your router in WEP mode, it can be hacked in a matter of minutes by anyone with the desire to do so.

You might also want to see if there are any firmware updates available for your router which might possibly address any incompatibilities with the mac implementation of WPA.
