Unable to connect to Sitecom 300n

Hi,

I recently moved to a new house where wireless internet was allready installed and ready to go. The only problem is: my MacBook Pro isn't able to login to the router all the time. It mostly just says 'The connection timed out'. At first I thought this was due to problems with the router. But when I fired up an old Windows machine the internet worked like a charm.

So now I'm riddled as to how I can fix this problem. I have searched the internet for help but can't get a straight answer. I already tried changing the WPA2 from AES to TKIP. But then the internet didn't work on the Windows machine either. Luckily I could login to the router with my girlfriend's MacBook when I was standing next to the router (further away and it loses connection) and change this.

Connection:

(Cisco) Modem -> Sitecom 300n router -> MacBook Pro with OS X Lion

I hope that someone can help.
