Wireless Connection - "Connection timeout"

Have you managed to connect with your router yet?

Nope. Changed it to WPA and it didn't help. Still have the same "Connection timeout" issue.

What happens if you have no encryption at all?

Have you tried just turning off all of the security for now to see if you can get on the network? Obviously only try this for a short while as this leaves you very open! Again, to re-iterate the point that you should use WPA2 if you can or WPA if you don't have WPA2 on your router. Are you in a position to try out someone else's wireless network to test your card in your Mac? Whenever I get timeout problems, I generally find it's my router to be honest and I have to just turn it off for a moment and then turn it back on and it seems to pick everything up.

The other thing I had to do in the past was to change the channel that the router was running on as I think it may have been conflicting with one of the other routers in the street and this seemed to make the connection a lot more stable.
