Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ABG support for WPA-PSK?

My broadband supplier has just enforced a change of router on me and I cannot make a wireless connection. My operating system is Vista 32-bit, the wireless card as above and the new router is a ZyXel P660HW-B1A which has WPA-PSK security. When I try to set up the connection, I am not offered this option for security, just WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal with TKIP encryption. I have tried entering the security key using both of these options but it is not possible to connect and the error message says security key is incorrect. I have double checked that I am entering this correctly. Does this mean that the new router is incompatible with the 3945 ABG adaptor?

Broadcast SSID (Since there were changes, I'd change the SSID to make connecting easier)

Use WPA-PSK(TKIP) Security (Personal)

Use mixed mode.

Use channels 1, 6 or 11 (I use channel 11)

You have to save changes and exit.

Power off the ISP modem/router. Power of the wireless router(if any) Wait 30 seconds, the npower on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any)

Restart your computer.

Try to connect.

***Please note*** other wireless devices need to be setup for the new network
