Are you really sure about that?

This implies that the AP is using WPA1, no?

And there were no lines here showing access points?
These lines would probably tell us which WPA version is used by your AP,
if you had shown them.

This shows the AP is not being selected because it has the wrong channel
(channel 1 when we expected something else, probably cause the scan was
currently scanning 11a mode which only supports channels >= 36, nothing
to worry about) and the wrong encryption settings (rsn!) (so again, this
indicates AP is using WPA1).
