        UPDATE,  ISSUE FIXED:   
      
       The Westel 7500 DSL modem has a FLAW.  There is an OMISSION   
   in the WiFi summary window that is suppose to show all the settings   
   WPA or WEP, Key, etc. Data Encrypt TKIP, AES, etc.  is NOT displayed   
      
      To find out what the Data encrypt is, you have to change to WEP,   
   then click Apply.  Next, turn off WEP, then click Apply.  Then select   
   WPA, and click Apply.  Now a "hidden" window opens that is titled WPA.   
      
      Within that window is the Data Encrypt setting which was set to "TKIP"   
   in the backup modem, but "AES" in the modem I have been using for a long time.   
    After I changed it to "AES",  and clicked Apply.   I now can access this   
   backup modem with everything I did with the original modem.   
      
   Note: One WinXP laptop, I was able to connect (WiFi) with the "TKIP"   
   Data encryption.
