Problems with connecting to wireless router

I have recently started to have issues with connecting via wireless from my computer. For some reason I can see my wireless connection but am unable to connect even though the router is merely 1-2 feet away (the router is an WRT310n Wireless-N Gigabit Router from linksys). I definitely have plenty of signal and can find my router's SSID with no problem using the window network and sharing center, but whenever I attempt to connect via wireless it tells me I don't have any signal. I know my wireless adapter is working fine as I can find my neighbor's networks just OK. I've used two different adapters just in case it had been the adapter that had gone bad. The first is a WUSB600n Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter and the second I used to double check was a WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter. It's also worth noting that I have tried using the LELA software they provide but it has proven worthless as even after multiple attempts it has never installed properly. It's worth noting that I have installed the most recent firmware for the router updates and have turned off all security and reset the router after installing the new firmware. In the attached code from the event viewer log I'd want to add that the SSID I am trying to access is the default of linksys (I usually use security and a different SSID, but I'm trying to be as basic as possible until I have a handle on what's causing the problem). I've also tried to access this with and without my firewalls on (the native windows one in vista and the one that comes with norton internet security). Any direction would be helpful at this time.
Thanks in advance for your help,
