Can you find out the error message by looking at control panel > network conenctions?

N

it says wireless association failed due to unknown reason.
then says Try connecting to "RT2561_6" again

Is your modem with default settings?
a) Access your modem using *192.168.1.1
b) navigate to wireless setup option
c) look for any security settings options enabled

can you please post the screen of the wireless setup?
