Answer 1

I would just reset the modem, turning of any security - not recommended by anybody (but mines unsecure and I don't care). You should then see the wireless network on your mac, probably "Netgear" or some other unsecured one. I've never connected wirelessly on a mac so I can't give you more info.

Answer 2

try a wired connection safer or stick with your wireless flexible, easy and cost efficient
