Just purchased a shiny new Tivo for the kids (...me) for Christmas and am having difficulty setting it up wirelessly to my iMac. I have an Airport Express which I have attached my printer to and these are both in a different location to the Tivo

I have been through the on-screen instructions and keep coming up with the same problems:

From the Tivo website:

1) Wireless network not found (N06)

This means that your TiVo media device is unable to see the selected wireless network.

* Make sure your wireless network is operational, your wireless network settings are properly configured, and that you have sufficient signal strength at this location.
* Select Change network settings to make any necessary changes to your network name and password.
* If your wireless router uses an access control list, make sure your TiVo Wireless Adaptor’s MAC ID has been added to the list. Make this change in your wireless access point’s settings and then try again. You can find your TiVo Wireless Adaptor’s MAC ID by checking the label on the bottom of the adaptor
* Check for possible interference sources nearby, such as microwave ovens or cordless phones.
* Try rebooting your router or access point.

and

2) Access point not found (N10)

This error appears when your TiVo media device is unable to connect to the selected router or access point.

* Check that your router or access point is correctly configured and currently switched on
* Check that you’re using the right wireless network settings, including encryption key
* Check that you have sufficient wireless signal strength
* Try rebooting your router or access point.

I have checked the basics, correct network name and password, re-booted the router, signal strength is off the planet, etc, however I was not sure where I may manually change the TiVo Wireless Adaptor’s MAC ID (which has been provided) and if there was even an "access control list" and where this could be done on a Mac. I have looked in Airport Utility but so far no luck. :confused:

Please help as the kids (and the Mrs) are getting antsy.
