Since this is a 2wire, your wpa password key will be printed on the unit, unless you changed it. Look on the 2wire router label, there will be a set of braces [ ] with 10 characters inside. If you haven't changed the modem that is your wireless password!
Check it out and let me know.
Added... You do know there are TWO passwords for this unit, One is the administrative password, the other is the wireless password.. They are not the same and you don't need the administrative one to setup wireless, just the wireless password to enter on your computer when it asks for it!
If you changed both, you will have to do a hard reset and reconfigure the system. Most people however, have only changed the admin password and the 10 digit number on the label is still the wireless password!

Sounds like the modem is on the fritz. If the authentication fails, it means it is sending information, but it may not be receiving information. So the modem is talking but the server doesn't know what it is or the modem doesn't see anything. Try doing a hard reset on the modem, documentation should be with the unit that shows how to hard reset it.

If this is a wireless unit, go into the confuguration, and look in wireless security for the key. If you have lost the admin password, if it is default you can look up the manual from the manufacturer's site. If not you need to do a hard reset, but will then need to re-enter all the configuration.
