It sounds like the security settings on your router are not configured correctly. Connect to the router with a cable and make sure you are NOT using WPA-Enterprise.
WPA-Enterprise means that not the router itself, but a (Domain) server running somewhere on your network (like in a company) is authenticating you.
In a nutshell:
A Domain is something like "microsoft.com". This company has more than 10,000 employees. Now imagine the little router would have to authenticate all those user information. It can't, so it hands this process on to a server, that does that job for him.
I would disable all wireless security and see if you can connect then (unplug the cable). If that works, the ideal security for you would be WPA2-AES (with a pre-shared key.) It depends on your Operating System if this setting is supported. WinXP Service Pack 2, most Linux versions and Apple do that.
If you have any questions or something is not clear to you, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help with any step.
