Can you take a screenshot of the router wireless security setup page (obviously, remove the key info..)? apple-shift-4 will allow you to take a screenshot of a selected area..

Update your firmware

I have the same router and I think your firmware is way outdated. Go to the Tools tab and select Firmware. I am running version 1.23. If you have an old version, you may want to update. It's easy to find online.

Note however, that your router will loose all of it's configuration, so make sure you have your wireless, wan and lan setting written down somewhere.

I had trouble getting my iMac to work with my wireless. I used Shared Key, 64bit, hex. Then it worked.

Thanks for all the help. The shared 64bit hex was the answer! How do i set my mac to connect to this network from startup as its connecting to next doors and i have to select mine!
