That is what I am saying. Before the upgrade her network was xxxxxxx password yyyyy. That vanished. I don't understand why. Now the only one available is "default" with no password. Selecting automatic or a location selects this as the network.  In the network app selecting "default" and entering a password and clicking apply  does no good. Still no password. Create a new network and password and it vanishes. What I finally remembered (if I am correct) is that CW set this up and had to access the setup on the D-Link router - URL 192.168.0.1---that is where the network settings are.  If you look at your Airport Utility you will find that this is there the wireless network is created or modified with an Apple base station and it does not work with the D-Link.

When I upgraded her from OS 10.4 to OS 10.6 something happened to the network settings and now her network is "Default" without a password. It will not change in Network settings. Whoops -- DoI  have to go into the DLink setup to change it?
