Hi. I am new but delighted to be here! My MacBook is about three years old will connect to all wifi except my home one. My I phone and I pad connect with but not the MacBook. It happened when we moved in but my wife fixed it but she doesn't know how. I follow all the steps but instead of it connectin it times out. Can anybody help? Also I know nothing mich about computers so please keep it real simple! Thanks
