Unable to join wifi

I am not able to join a wifi network in client mode from my airport express. This used to work when my main router was another airport, but not now when I use a d-link.

What is wrong?

The D-Link router is using different settings than the former AirPort, so the Express cannot join the wireless network.

The Express will join the network providing that three conditions are met:

1) Express must have the same wireless network name as the D-Link network

2) Express must use the same wireless security settings as the D-Link network

3) Express must use the same wireless network password as the D-Link network

Hi, all the terms above are met.

1. Express is acessing the correct network.

2. The security setting is the same (WPA + WPA2)

3. And I have entered the correct password on the express.

The security setting is the same (WPA + WPA2)

There are a number of possible variations with WPA + WPA2.......TKIP, AES, etc. Please list all of the possible settings.

When the settings match up exactly on both the D-Link and Express, the Express will join the network.
