"....Note: that all wireless adapters are capable of detecting the available networks within broadcast range (if SSID is being broadcasted, that is), but if the encryption types/levels do not match, you won't connect, even if you have the correct password. That said, if your adapter doesn't support the encryption used by the network, you won't be able to connect."

So how do I find out what the encryption is for my CenturyLink modem/router? I found it once on my acer laptop, can probably find it again. Laptop connects to WiFi when travelling but not here. Other electronics connect here no problem. Frustrating!!! Any help I can use is appreciated!
 
Solution
Go into the router configuration page and it will show you there what it's set to. If you open the existing connections on another device it will also show you what it's set to. Can also contact your ISP and ask if they set it all up for you.
