I use Linksys and haven't had a problem. 2 macs 1pc. Plug and Play. "All hard wired"
I did hook everything up through the Mac.
Linksys You'll find your DHCP there.
Once your in there others will help.

Is there any place near you that has free wifi that you know works? If you have an Apple Store near you, that would be ideal.

I would double check it now to make sure that something hasn't gone wrong since you first got the MacBook.
