I'm using a Netgear Rangemax router (WPNT834), so not specifically Apple or Airport-enabled kit.

in the router settings under "Wireless Advanced"
Enable SSID Broadcast = YES

I'm thinking it must be some setting on the router is stopping the mac picking up the network's presence. Now we are right beside the wireless router and its still not picking it up!

Under Wireless settings I have :
Region: Europe (choices are Europe, Asia, Australia)
Channel: 01 (choices are auto, 01, 02 etc to 13)
Mode: g and b (choices are "g and b", "g only", up to 126Mbps, up to 240Mbps)

I tried changing channel from the defaults of auto to 01
and mode from default of 240Mbps to "g and b"
