Ok. I have upgraded from using WEP with a NETGEAR wireless router and a G3 iBook to using WPA with a compatible NETGEAR wireless router and a aluminum MacBook running OS X 10.5.6 I have changed the routers wireless settings from WEP to WPA security. My Network preferences shows that my network is using WPA personal security and my internet connection is great. My question is, why do I have to choose my network every time I restart my Mac ? When I restart, I originally have no connection. I have to choose my network, then input my login keychain password, then all is well and I am connected. I have to do this every time I start up my Mac. Is this because I am using WPA wireless security or have I not configured something right or what ? Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated people
