How is it not working when you have WEP or WPA turned on? Is your MBP having a hard time connecting to it and giving you an error message?
It will not connect at all... Or it will seem like it connected but then it says you are not connected to the internet in safari, and won't let me browse comps on the network
but it FLIES with WPA or WEP Disabled
Which hardware version of N1 router, do you have any idea of that? Because I have one N1 router with me, and I don't see any issues on my MBP though.
what is your N1 hardware version and firmware version? let me know, i had an experience to fix the wireless security issues before.
cheers
I have an N1 Router too. If you are having trouble do one of the 2 things (or both) if you have not done already
1) Type 192.168.2.1 on your browser and reset router to factory default and set up everything again.
2) Try Downloading new firmware for your router

I was having trouble with MBP and the Router as the CD that came with the router would not run. I had to figure out stuff manualy
This is how mine is set-up
Security Mode WPA-PSK (No server)
Authentication WPA-PSK
Encryption Technique TKIP
Hope this helps!
UPDATE: I set-up a WEP 128bit WEP and that works too! I think reset should do the trick for you but do it through default IP 192.168.2.1
Well atleast something worked I did a few a tests my self
With WPA settings my download speed is 3200 kbps and upload is 400 mbps
With WEP settings my download speed was 1500 kbps and upload was 111mbps
I tested here:

from what I know... the secure connections reduce the interent speed but seems like the difference is too much here. I have been using WPA on my N1 and I get good speeds. N1 is a good router and has a nice range Maybe a replacement might help but I doubt it as my WEP is slow as well by a huge margin. Your call
How close is your MBP to the router?
You need to use WPA2, as WEP is much easier to be cracked.
As router, Airport Extreme Gigabit is a good candidate.
