I will say that this Macbook has great wireless range.
When i scan using PCs, i pick about 5-6 wireless networks in the area. When i scan with the Mac, i get 10-11

From their site:
Cain & Abel is a password recovery tool for Microsoft Operating Systems. It allows easy recovery of various kind of passwords by sniffing the network, cracking encrypted passwords using Dictionary, Brute-Force and Cryptanalysis attacks, recording VoIP conversations, decoding scrambled passwords, recovering wireless network keys, revealing password boxes, uncovering cached passwords and analyzing routing protocols.
It's basically a software suite that encompasses sevaral different open-source programs' techniques. You can of course accomplish all these on a Mac as well by just using those open-source programs Cain and Abel is based on. I could recommend you each program for each technique individually, but honestly it'd be easier to just download the BackTrack 3 Live CD and use that in a VM or something. It's a MUCH MUCH more powerful security auditing tool than Cain and Abel could ever hope to be, and is pretty much the de-facto standard for network security analysis. It's available here - http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html

That's usually just a factor of the antenna used in the particular wireless receiver. I don't think that has much to do with the OS itself. Could be a driver issue however...

...has to do with Mac quality

Speaking of Wireless networks... I had an old Linksys WAP that I used with my PowerBook G4 for wireless networking. After a while, it sh!t the bed on me and I had to replace it. I ended up getting a Linksys WRT54G as a Christmas gift.. Since then, my Mac hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network with WPA Personal security. It says the password is not correct. I believe that if I unsecure the network, it works fine, but I don't want my network unsecured. I also know that I'm typing in the correct password, since I'm the one that created the network and have been very diligent in typing in the password each time.
Any suggestions? The wired Ethernet connection works fine, but isn't really what I'm after here.
Thanks!

Rest assured, you're paying for it, though. Macs ain't cheap.

Actually, it's because of the material the MB is made out of. It's the same reason why the MB has better wireless range than the MBP.

I don't use anything - not even the built-in firewall at the moment. I turned that off because of networking issues. I've been too lazy to start workarounds for it.

Yeah, paying out the ass, too. It sucks that they're so expensive, but they're worth it, IMO. Then again, I've been using them since the SE days, 15 years ago. I'm a bit biased.

So, no suggestions with my wireless networking problem? (Posted it earlier in the thread) I should just get a new MacBook Pro and be done with it. Possibly an Air Port Extreme too... or is that not worth it?
