I just purchased a MR814V2 netgear wireless router. Out of the box, I was able to get my toshiba portable and sony clie NX70V w/PEGAWL100 card on the wifi network. However, when I try to do so with my Apple PowerBook (12-inch) w/AIRPORT EXTREME CARD, it says "There was an error joining the selected network."
I didn't change anything to the default router settings... I just followed the simple auto-detect installation...
Any ideas?
When searching the forums (here and elsewhere), nobody seems to have the problems I'm having...

That sounds like a password problem. Do you have WEP enabled? If not, are you sure your iBook is connecting to YOUR LAN and not a neighbor's WEP enabled LAN?

No, there's only one LAN available on my powerbook, and it's really mine.
When I don't have WEP enabled, it gives me the "Error connecting to the network" thing.
When enabling 64-bit or 128-bit WEP, it always give me a "wrong password" message, even though I seem to do everything right, e.g. generating a 128-bit key and entering that key under 128-bit HEX on my PowerBook when prompted for a password

Check the MAC address filtering list and either disable it (just for testing) or add your iBook's Airport MAC address to it.

Already tried that... 
I was wondering if anybody has reported trying to get Airport Extreme to work with this particular Netgear router...

I have utterly failed myself, having bought the Netgear router just last week. My housemate's PC laptop with wireless connects just fine, and I was connecting fine to his wireless router before he had to remove it.

I recently bought the Netgear MR814v2 myself and I'm having the same problem. 2 iBooks and 1 PowerBook on Airport cards work flawlessly. I'm assuming that the Airport Extreme card and Netgear routers are incompatible.
Is there any workaround or should I just return the router and get a Linksys?

I encountered the same problem as described by you guys. "There was an error joining the Airport network."
Now the problem is solved. They are talking nicely. Actually, I am using it right now. Here is what I did.
1. Update Mac Airport software 3.1 (06/19/03)
2. Update Netgear MR814v2 firmware 5.0.1 (release date 05/22/03) from netgear.com
The setting of the router is almost the default. I only added a WEP. And the Airport Extreme uses the generated key as the password. Don't forget the "$" in front of the key.
Enjoy.
