are you using WPA/WPA2? or WEP?
I know some Cisco products have some strange phantoms when you cut
and paste MAC addresses into the config.
Do you have the latest firmware for your router? I'd almost suggest
loading the latest firmware, doing a factory reset of the router and
trying WPA/WPA2 only to see if the issue is resolve.
