New router to connect to existing DSL broadband connection

I'm attempting to set up wife's laptop to my existing [wired ] broadband connection.

Existing connection has iinet BELKIN modem/router & has been working for a couple of years.

Last month bought a wireless router. Netgear RT-N10

My son setup the wireless router as an 'access point' with an
access code [ or whatever you call it ] for security.

after some farting around, M$ knowledge base articles etc re wireless zero
connection, the laptop show's the following in "wireless network connection "
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ian's ASUS AUtomatic
security enabled wireless network (WPA2)
---------------------------------------------------
linksys
security enabled wireless network (WPA)
---------------------------------------------------


When i try to connect to "connect" to either network the connection doesn't work.


Any suggestions?

event viewers?
network utilities ?

P.S. i've been playing with mainframe computers since 1963
& pc's etc since 1970's- 1980's.
But thesedays mostly i leave the techo stuff to son Adam,
but he ( & Anita ) have three month old twins and get a bit busy<grin>

 

logged into router on wired pc. at 10.1.1.3

access code is definitely lower case [ as written down by Adam].

There are a couple of other parameters
"Authentication Method" = WPA2-Personal

"WPA Encryption" = AES

"WPA Pre shared key" = [adam's lower case key]

"WEP Encryption" = none

"Key Index" = 2

"WEP Key 1" = [blank]

ditto 2,3,4 all blank

"ASUS Passphrase" = [blank]

****

Maybe we have misread one of these keys.

On the laptop i did try to set [windows xp]
TCP/IP values 10.1.1.3

& dns as 10.1.1.1 [ dsl broadband modem]
