Nighthawk R6900 won't work with older laptop

My R6900 will not work wireless with an old Compaq Presario but works wireless with my Sony Viao and apple products.    Can rhe R6900 be configured to work with older laptops?  Everything worked well...

The router is set to "WPA2-PSK [AES]".  Should it work on "WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2- PSK [AES]" or "WPA/WPA2 Enterprise"?   The mode is set to "Up to 600 MPS".   Thanks for the come back.

    Making that one change got it working.    I really appreciate the assistance.
