thanks. looks similar to mine except for the tx burst thing, wasn't sure what that was.
why only 144k ? I thought it was supposed to do 300?

I don't think 'n' can get that high. Have a read of this...

Thrain - do you have any special settings on the wireless lan section to make it work with your MBP?

thanks guys, I think I've worked out what the problem is.
When I got the draytek, I created the wireless lan with the same password. Whichever network mac os x connects to 1st works ok. so in the 1st instance, my old network was fine but the draytek network didn't work. I removed all my plist settings (the whole folder - /Library/Preferences/System Settings) and rebooted. This time, I connected to the draytek without any problems. however, as soon as I tried to connect to my old network, I had the same problems as I had when trying to connect to the draytek. I removed that folder again and rebooted. hey presto, straight into my old network.
It seems that mac os x can't cope with 2 different networks with the same network key. I presume they use it as a uniqueness key in some way.
