Maybe run the setup?
How old are these computers? The Mac I have is from 2009 and I need to go to the orchard and get a new version of the operating system. This one is no longer supported. You might have to do the same.
Worse comes to worse, bring the Mac to the Genius Bar

I must be going soft (after all of those buy a mac comments you make)...

...if your shop mac is near to or next to the router plug a network cable between the two.

A network cable looks like this



plug one in the mac and the other end in the router. The mac should be able to connect to the internet (so long as the router is working). You can then try and download that airport bs so you can go wireless if you really want to.

OK for wireless

Your router will have a name and a pass phrase to allow connecting computers to access it.

What's your router called?

If you look back at the pictures posted for you - you need to read off the names listed on the mac screen as shown here

I'm off to watch Geordie Shore!

See ya later - once you've got the broadcast name of the router and you've found the paper work with the pass phrase (sometimes written on the underside of the router) you should be good.
