One thing that used to cause me problems (but recent kit seems to sort

As well as the encryption method there is the authentication method.

IIRC you can chose "shared key" or "open". If the router and client do
not match, you can have the correct password and they just won't work
together.

Oh yes, there are an awful lot of variations that are generally
hidden from the user that kit may try and sort out automagically.
When it doesn't you don't get told what the problem is with a
sensible error message it just fails to work. Trying to find the
relevant settings to then tweak can be a right-mare. Web interfaces
on consumer kit rarely have them and the telnet interface (if it has
one) will only have rudimentary documentation that is for two
versions earlier...
