new laptop can't connect to wireless

Hello all,
I have a new Lenova Y560p that I can’t connect to my wireless router.

My router is a Westell 327W. VER:03.00.63a
Network card is an Atheros AR9285.

My computer sees the router, at excellent strength. I can connect to my neighbor’s unsecured connection.
My internet works if I hook the computer up to the ethernet cable, but it won’t connect to the wireless, even if I change it to unsecured. I use WEP security, the only one this router has. MAC address filtering is disabled.
My PS3 and Wii connected without a problem.

I’ve tried doing things like changing the SSID and password, changing from shared to open key, reset the modem, manually entered the network and then deleted it, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind, updated the firmware for the router and all is well.
