Hmm, it sounds like this is more an issue with the router for that network rather than your machine. Overlooking this, it could mean that you laptop has a VERY old wireless card and it simply doesn't understand the higher levels of security.

I know that this doesn't really help you, but if you are using a card that only understands older network security, then either the router/wifi extender will have to be changed, or you will need a more up to date network card; of course, with it being in a laptop, this is far more tricky than if it was in a pc. Like I say, it's not the most helpful answer in the world, but hopefully it can shed some light on the issue.

Other than that, I'd still say that it is a problem with the network, and not with you, but best of luck :)

Can you get me a link to a screenshot (can't post pics on here) of the device drivers for the network card in your laptop please man :)

Device Manager > Network adapters > Right click your card and click properties > Go to the details tab > Select Hardware Ids from the dropdown box > take a screenshot and post it on here

From this I can find the manufacturer and exact device and then I can help you further :)
