I'll be darned. Yup, that DSL modem/router is old enough that it doesn't support WPA. Consider throwing it out. Or disabling the Wireless on it, if you can, and attaching a more modern wireless access point which does support WPA.

Possibly talk to your ISP and see if they have a newer one. You can tell them it's no longer broadcasting the WiFi signal but the computers attached via cable still work and maybe they'll give you a new one. If they want to charge you $75 for a new DSL modem/router/wireless acccess point well, that still might be not too bad of a deal.

Otherwise ask in the DSLreports.com forum specific to your ISP if such is available.
