WRT160N and certificate?????

Question

Everything seems configured correctly.  My laptop recognizes router, but after asking me for "user name"  "password" and "login domain"  which I say/named linksys ...it gives me same list again and says I may need a certificate.  User certificate cannot be found on this computer.  My old WRT54G V8  worked fine.  I had no problems.  Laptop is Gateway/Vista

Well you get this error message on your Wireless Computer only when the wireless security on your Router is set to WEP. As WEP is the Older Level of security.You get this message with most of the N Series Router.To Solve you problem you have 2 choises.
1: Change the Security Mode on your Router to WPA or WPA2 Personal. 
Assuming you have a Windows XP OS. 
2: On your Wireless Computer... Click on Start - Control Pannel - Network Connections - Right click on your Wireless Network Connections and click on "Properties" and then you need to click on the tab "Wireless Network"  Below "Preferred Networks" you need to click on ADD butto, under "Network Name SSID" type your Wireless Network Name, Under "Network Authentication" let it be "Open" and under "Data Encryption" select "WEP" and below you need to Uncheck the Box "Key is Provided to me Automatically"  and above that under "Network Key and Confirm Network Key" type your Security key and click Ok and Ok. Now right click on your Wireless Network Connections and click on "View Available Wireless Network", Locate your Wireless network and click on Connect. 
Once Connected to your Network, Now check if you are able to go online.
